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.
