The Old Wooden Rocking Chair

The old wooden rocking chair stands alone now
The one where you and I spent so many of our hours
I was softly singing as I gazed into your eyes
O how I wish it wasn't true,but, it is, time flies

I told you of my hopes and dreams
The things that we would do
The places we could go and see
The things I thought you might be

Oh baby of mine, why did you have to go
It tore me to pieces to be so all alone
The heartbreak was almost more than I could take
It must be a nightmare from which I would wake

The old wooden rocking chair stands alone now
And I am waiting for the day when you and I
Can rock in that Heavenly place where you are waiting
The place where time will never fly, and where no one will ever die

Oh baby love, please be patient, wait and watch ov'r me
So together we can have what was supposed to be
Without SIDS, our horrible enemy
And for now, until that day comes, I will do
All I can to comfort those whose pain is the same.

Teardrops Fell

Teardrops from my very soul it seemed
They burned a path as they slid by
Down my cheeks
From my eyes
The pain was tearing me apart
I could feel the very killing of my heart
To lose someone so small
So cherished and so precious
My past, my present, my furture too
Who did I blame?
What was the name
Of this unseen enemy?
Who should I strike out at?
Who will take accountability?
They said no one was to blame
Not me, not you, not anyone I knew
It just happened, there was no way
To predict
To know
Who would fall victim next
The unseen force that changed me for forever more
Was what they now call SIDS you see
It destroyed what I was meant to be
And in it's place and over time
Left a different me
Stronger ... yes .. in some ways
Though never again to be as carefree.

Who Took My Baby

Who took my baby
On that cold dark night
Who took my baby
Who had the right?

Tears blurred my vision
Pain ripped at my heart
I searched my world over
Not ready we should part

But I couldn't find you
Little one of mine
It seemed you were gone
For all time

Oh who took my baby
On that cold dark night
'Cause when you took him
You left me behind

I can't live without him
He's so small and alone
I cry all the time
My world has turned grim

If you would tell me where he is
My baby, my life and my light
I would go there and get him
And hold him so tight.

Silently

The unseen enemy steals through the night
Silently taking our babies on a final flight
But, from the enemy, the angels intervene
Taking them safely to a place we haven't seen

And in that faraway place, in the play land of gold
Our precious little ones will never grow old
They giggle, they laugh; they run, jump and play
Knowing that their parents too will be there someday

For now we care for each other, sharing about each girl and boy
Those who the enemy has once more tried to destroy
We search for the answers that caused this pain
Comforted to know that our loss is heaven's gain
.
