Precious
Life
A tiny
life created by love,
A
beautiful miracle designed by God.
Your
time with us was short, sweet spirit,
Too
quickly you returned to Heaven above.
Great
was the joy you brought to our lives
When we
learned of your little existence.
We
planned for your birth and dreamed of your life,
As a
child of God in our home.
Such
pain was heard though our midnight cries
As we
watched your perfect body float lifeless.
We
wanted you, we needed you,
And yet
here we live on, without you.
Your
tiny heart beat as hummingbird wings,
From
deep within my frame.
And I
learned what a special sweet spirit you are
As only
a mother can.
Where
are you now, my cherished, my baby?
Why
have you left my arms empty?
What
more could I have done to keep you here with me?
Why was
your time here cut short?
Will I
see you again? Will I hold you someday?
How I
long to be your mother.
To
cradle you, baby, to help you love life
And to
look at your beautiful face.
Til we
meet again in a more perfect world
Where
our family again is complete,
I will
think of you often, sweet child, my baby,
I will
think of your precious life.
