Let all your worries abate.
Listen to what your heart says,
Close your eyes and imaginate...
Am I there in your imagination,
Smiling up at you?
Is it my voice saying,
"There's nothing for you that I won't do"?
Is it my warm hand,
That's slipped into your own?
Is it my voice telling you,
"You'll never again be alone"?
Is it me you feel lying next to you,
In your bed at night?
Is it my voice whispering,
"I just want to hold you tight"?
If I wasn't around you,
Would I ever be missed?
When you look into your imagination,
Do I even exist?
If you believe that we are right together,
If you just put your trust in fate.
We can have it all if we want it,
Just close your eyes and imaginate...
Ker.
I'll keep you in my mind while you're gone.
I'll be your light, when you need to see,
I'll be everything you need me to be.
I'll be your courage, when yours is lost,
I'll be there for you, no matter the cost.
I'll be your shoulder, when you need to cry,
I'll be your everything, at least, I'll try.
I'll be there for you, when you need an ear,
I'll be by your side, I'll always be near.
I'll be your smile, when yours won't come,
I'll be your gentleness, when you need some.
I'll be your heart, when yours seems cold,
I'll be your rock, when being strong grows old.
I'll be there in good times and bad,
I'll be there whether you're happy or sad.
Just remember~I'll always be there for you,
And never forget that I love you.
Ker.
But they don�t understand.
Although I never held you in my arms,
I felt you under the palm of my hand.
Although you never opened your eyes to the world,
You were alive inside me.
You were a part of your Dad and I,
Although seeing you grow up would never be.
I remember the smile that engulfed my face,
When I found out you were there.
Your dad and I were so happy,
He treated me with such loving care.
You were so loved by both of us,
The perfect addition to our family.
We sat up for hours, talking of you,
And how fulfilled you�d make us be.
Then the unthinkable happened,
The one thing I dreaded most.
Something went wrong and we lost you,
Such a huge sense of loss.
And people don�t really know what to say,
They seem lost for words.
While they were full of congratulations earlier,
Consolations go unheard.
And it hurts inside when people say,
It wasn�t meant to be.
To say that there was something wrong,
Really doesn�t help me.
They don�t know about the time I spent,
My hand resting over you.
Imagining the day you are born,
Imagining the life you�ll go through.
Although we never held you in our arms,
Although we never looked into your eyes.
Your dad and I will never forget you,
You�re still a part of our lives.
Ker, 25th August, 2000.
Don�t tell me you understand.
Because unless you�ve been through this yourself,
I don�t think you really can.
Don�t make light of our loss,
Don�t say it wasn�t meant to be.
To say that makes it sound unimportant,
Like it was nothing, basically.
Don�t tell me our child wasn�t yet a baby,
Because it was never born.
That precious child was alive in me,
And all my life I will mourn.
Don�t tell me to have another,
That another child will replace this one.
How can you replace a person so easy?
He or she could be replaced by none.
Don�t just pat me on the back,
Don�t just say �you�ll be all right�.
To say that means you don�t understand,
About the pain that�s still here tonight.
Don�t tell me nothing at all,
And pretend nothing ever went wrong.
That baby was part of our future,
One we had waited for so long.
Instead just perhaps say �I�m sorry�,
And listen to me when I need to cry.
Just be there for me always,
Even if you don�t have the answer to Why.
Ker.
