The Heartbeat

Every night when i'm laying my head to rest and i hear your heartbeat on my chest lets me know that i'm doing alright i thought i lost you in that hospital room when they couldn't find a beat it scared me to death and my heart skipped we all seen the line and thought you were dead But that night i looked up and within the tears running down my cheek i saw an angel watching over him and me she looked at me and smiled then flew away i looked at my baby and saw him awake I didn't know what to believe but i saw that angel in front of me i thank her every night i lay my head to say goodnight cause the beat i feel on my chest is in my arms and not laid to rest My baby just turned 5 today his heart beat had faded away but i'm glad i got all i could get with him for the angel who saved him has taken him but before he went he said to me the angel you saw i can now see she is standing right in front of me goodbye mommy and i love you daddy
