| Sweet Heavenly Child Tiny baby, in my heart, I ache to hold you near... before I even knew you, I felt your presence here. Inside my womb I kept you, ever peaceful from the storm... I knew that you were always safe and I knew that you were warm. I never thought I'd lose you before I saw your face... but I know that you are happy and living in a better place. God must have spared my baby from some unknown tragedy... I know He'd never be unkind or bring hurt and pain to me. The days ahead will try me as I come to terms with grief... but through it all, there's comfort, and God is my relief. He'll hold me in His arms awhile and shelter me with care... time will take away the pain, but the love will still be there. Jill Lemming |
| Angel Unaware Oh the longing we both had, to be a mommy and a dad We put our hopes and dreams in you - he hoped for pink, I dreamed of blue But for you God had a different plan; one we may never understand We were visited by an angel, though we didn't know it then You were the answer to our prayer - Our Angel Unaware We barely got to say hello before we had to let you go God breathed your name and called you home So briefly here, so quickly gone, but in the stillness of the night My empty arms still hold you tight We were visited by an angel, though we didn't know it then You were the answer to our prayer - Our Angel Unaware In my mind I see you running, chasing bees and butterflies Soft hair gently blowing, healthy cheeks, laughing eyes In the quietness of the morning, when the mist hangs in the air I hold you close within my heart - My Angel Unaware How can I miss someone so much I barely had the chance to touch Yet as you grew inside of me, I learned how strong a love could be I knew you for a lifetime, I'll love you all of mine We were visited by an angel, though we didn't know it then You were the answer to our prayer - Our Angel Unaware author unknown |
