O' precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure and innocent
just as you were meant to be
We dreamed of you and your life
And all that it would be
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family
We never had the chance to play
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle
I'll always be your Mum
He'll always be your Dad
You will always be our child
The child that we had
But now you're gone...
But yet you're here
We'll sense you everywhere
You are our sorrow
And our joy
There's love in every tear
Just know our love
Goes deep and strong
We'll forget you never
The child we had
but never had
and yet we'll have forever.

The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry.
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending she didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that she has been missed,
You asked me how I am doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine".
But healing is something ongoing.
I feel it will take a lifetime.

There's a special Angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted her
but where God wanted her to be.
She was here but just a moment
like a nightime shooting star.
And though she is in Heaven
she isn't very far.
She touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held her every minute
if the end I only knew.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send her all my love.

We were chosen to become the family of a very special child.
Who would come to earth from Heaven and visit for a while.
There are mothers who give birth to babies, too good for this world of men.
They touch our lives for a moment, then travel Home again.
This was to become our destiny. And, Why? We need not know.
For a parents greatest gift is to nurture and love a child with a perfect soul.
Our baby was born an Angel and stopped to pause this way,
Blessing us with sunshine, as we thanked the Lord each day.
Our child was like a ray of perfection and could not journey long,
The source of power being God Himself, quietly called our Angel Home.
As we walk in Springtime meadows, with nature posing all around,
We see the beauty of our little one in every sight and sound.
Whenever I gaze at this beautiful world, or look at a blue sky above,
I know that Angels are Forever
Warming our hearts with their light and love.

She gave not a wave of her little hand,
Nor blew me her sweetest kiss
I did not know she was leaving
God her precious love I miss
Smile down on me when you hear me cry
Don't look down on me with sadness
Give me the strength to live without her
To cope with the emptiness and the madness
Bless you for taking her so gently
As she had fought so hard to live
Thank you for loaning her to me
She was your greatest gift to give
Remind her where she lived and loved
Hold her often, take her hand in our own way
Reunite her with loves ones in Heaven before her
Reassure her her Mummy will see her again some day.
