Tiny Hands
I hope you felt the comfort in my words of love so deep
I hope you knew my hopes and dreams and what you meant to me
It’s so much more than words can say or what the eyes can see.
Tiny hands and tiny feet
The most beautiful baby I ever did meet
As small as you were, the biggest part of my heart you hold
And that’s where it will remain until I’m grey and old
For a long time my skies have been so grey,
And it’s hard to find words to say,
But I’ll try now, I hope that’s okay.
To me you are the breeze that softly whispers by and gently dries my tears
You’re the sun that lights my heart and mind and takes away my fears
You’ve never truly left my love, you’re wrapped within my heart
A lifetime love, forever close, I know we’ll never part.
I miss you.
Our Baby
An empty space where life once stirred
My eyes were not yet seeing
Where once my heartbeat shared a tone
with a small and fragile being
So scarcely formed yet still a life
A dream, a hope, a promise
Our plans were changed to now include
This new life thrust upon us
Then just as quickly as it came
Our dreams were gone away
The deepest pain I’ve ever felt
Our baby died today
With footprints left upon our hearts
She gently took her leave
We’re left with nothing but regret
And only time to grieve
There was no service to be held
No mourning time required
No songs of longing and despair
No words to be inspired
We’re simply told to bare the pain
“It’s nature’s way” they say
I can’t forget our baby moved
inside me yesterday
And with each word of sorrow
my teardrops fall like rain
The anger and resentment
are mixed with guilt and pain
I look to heaven for a sign
to help search out a course
Where love can teach acceptance
and eliminate remorse
My body will accept the truth
that now our baby’s gone
But in our hearts our Angel
everlastingly lives on!
