Letter To My Baby

So loved you came into my life And I hoped you would stay To hear all the important things That I’ll never get to say That you were mommy’s precious gift And I loved you like no other And I dreamt about the day I could give you a sister or a brother That while you were in my belly I sang to you your own lullaby And that I still haven’t found the voice To tell you goodbye That I wanted so badly To hold you to my chest And tell you God gave me you Because I would love you the best That sometimes I think about What you would look like today If fate had decided That you would be born that day That I wanted so badly to know Your sweet baby smell And I wanted to count each perfect Little baby fingernail I wanted to teach you to ride a bike And how to bake a pie How to love with all your heart And to never cheat or lie I wanted to read you a fairytale Every single night And tell you that God is the magic That makes our souls take flight I wanted to show you so many things That a little kid should know But now I’ll never even have the chance To say I love you and hello That even though you’re gone You still mean the world to me And that forever you’ll remain My precious little baby.

Oh, how very very sad. I am so sorry. I can't think of anything worse than to lose your baby.
