Little fingers, little feet
Beautiful baby, so tiny, so sweet
How I wished that you could stay
How sad I was when you went away
For reasons I may never know
You couldn’t stay, you had to go
You took with you my love, my tears
You challenged me to face my fears
You captured my heart without even trying
Now without you my heart is crying
You touched my life for the briefest of time
Enough for me to call you mine
Whatever the reason why you couldn’t stay
I’ll love you as long as night follows day
You’ll live in my heart in a special place
And I’ll think of you often with a smiling face
For you were an angel who came briefly to Earth
But too delicate, too fragile, to stay beyond birth
Perhaps this world was too harsh, who knows
But I am still glad it was me you chose
Because even though I’m full of grief
You’ve changed my life beyond belief
I’ve never known such love, such pain –
And life will never be the same
For we have a bond that no-one can sever
And I will love you for ever and ever
