Rocking Chair

Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where unborn babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro? 

Do they talk silly baby talk
to get a smile or two,
and sing the sleepy lullabies
I wished I could sing to you?

My heart is aching for you,
my angel child so dear.
You brought such joy into my life,
though you were never really here.

But now its time for mummy and daddy
to let you go and play
and though you couldn't stay with us, 
your something we won't regret. 

I know you're in a happy place,
and in God's loving care.
I dream each night I'm rocking you
in Heaven's rocking chair.
