1 Month Ago Tomorrow

Tomorrow is January 26th an I wish I could rewind back to december 
To a day that I will always remember 
The day GOD sent me a precious/beautiful treasure 
1 of the 4 most happiest days ever if I could, I'd do it all over again with pleasure 
If I could, I'd do it again with pleasure 
All these feelings, go way beyond measure 
The good and the bad, all mixed together 
The happy and the sad, lives inside me forever 
At 0556 I'll remember waking up separated from you 
I can still feel you move inside me before they put me to slaeep 
you inside me I wanted to keep just maybe at least another 2 weeks 
I woke up without you in my womb 
Replace with a horrible pain inside 
Then the nurse pushed on my stomach, I started to cry 
Did she have to do that? Please tell me why? 
No wait I'd rather know more about the pain that's inside 
Of my heart and my body the most horrible pain in my life 
Some comfort came when I hear that my babys alive and doing okay 
1 pound and 5 ounces, december 26th, my babys birthday 
Opened the box , memories on display 
I wish I had more than a box to remember my baby today 
Your tiny little outfit and footprints in a shell 
The tiny beanie you wore on your head fit you well 
Half way into the box, I catch a smell 
Of you, my baby. I want you with me now 
The day you were born december twenty six 
You weren't due until april, on the 24th 
So quickly so suddenly, you were called forth 
It seemed when called, you quickly came forth 
I'm left with these feelings, I love you I miss you of course
