You started out a prayer, A hope, a thought, a dream. There’s no way we could prepare For the love that you would bring. It began with a flutter, A twist, and then a kick. We knew in our hearts That you were God’s special pick. Thank you for the love we’ve shared, the moments late at night. The pokes and tugs and somersaults that brought you to life. As the months grew longer, The dancing never stopped. You were the next great gymnag-Ë At least that’s what Mommy thought. You are our precious angel, So perfect, so sweet, so pure. Our hearts were overwhelmed with love, The moment we saw you. Oh how we long to hold you close And feel you one last time. Your hands, your feet, your long black hair, I’ve seen them before, they’re mine... Your eyes, your ears, your button nose That’s what Daddy gave. These are our precious memories Forever we will save. We never had the chance to play, To rock, to laugh, to wiggle. We long to touch and cuddle now, And listen to you giggle. This isn’t what we’d hoped. This isn’t what we’d planned. But we take comfort in the fact That you are dancing in God’s dreamland. Our time together was too short. Our joy has turned to tears. A child’s love we now know, And it wipes away all fears. You left footprints on our hearts, That will never change. Our lives from now on will never be the same. Mummy and Daddy love you More than words can say. We can’t wait to get to heaven To see you again someday.
