I Never Had the Chance

I never had the chance To hear you talk Our time ran out Before you could walk. You were born with wings A sign we knew That the man upstairs Would soon come for you. They laid you in my arms And I quietly mourned For my dark haired angel That I had born. I never had the chance To see your eyes He took you away With no time for good byes. I think of you often And wonder why I never had the chance To hear your first cry. You were a special little girl An enchanting rose The moment I held you Our time suddenly froze. I never had the chance To watch you grow Or hear your laugh As we played in the snow. I never had the chance To give you a mother’s love But I know you’re always there Watching over me from above.
