Too Beautiful For Earth

I carried you within my womb and felt your little kicks I was one happy momma I was high on my babies fix But something went wrong and I lost one of you. Tell me what happened...What did I do? They tried to save the other one and she was holding on. But laying in the womb beside her...brother was gone. Twins what a blessing I carried with me, For five months... I was showing I was glowing you see. I had my babies but no cry came as they lay still after birth, perfect in every way too beautiful for earth. Someone hear my cry and help me understand Why the me I use to be now lays in the sand. Satin lines a purple box in it memories of you are sealed Why my babies? Someone please feel what i feel. Pink and blue what a wonderful combination Now I lay you to rest with pink and blue carnations Too beautiful for earth is what they say I’d give anything to have my babies back today My little angels have gained their wings now they fly When I’m feeling lonely I look to the sky I cannot see you but I feel you still I had my babies the experience was real Too beautiful for earth yeah that may be true But mommy would give anything just to hold you And feel your heart beating next to mine If only for a moment...for the first time An angel wrote your names in the book of life after your birth. Closed it and whispered. "Much to Beautiful for Earth." RIP Ti’Yanna and Ryan 03/28/15
