Angel Baby

My heart was fluttering like Doves in a casket,
when I saw my little baby so still in her basket.
For nine months I carried her protected in my womb,
now I just sit and stare at her in the hospital room.
The nurses ask "would you like a cup of tea"?
All I want is to take my baby home with me.
Deep in my heart I know it won't happen today
God had other plans he chose to take her away.
An angel baby that's what I had her heart would not start,
I felt her inside my womb the connection was never apart.
It don't seem fare standing here in this lonely place,
Nine months I carried her but only five minutes to see her face.
All I got told is sorry her heart wouldn't start,
No one knew how I was feeling because mine was torn apart
Nine months I carried her now suddenly she's gone,
Heaven gained an angel but I'll always be her mum.
She has granny and Grandad to guide her through the light,
I will see my angel soon but for now I tell her goodnight.
