Still Born

I never seen your smile
 I never heard your cry,
You where here only for a moment,
 and only God knows why.

A piece of me you took with you
  on that tragic day,
In pieces I am left
  because you could not stay.

A thousand are in memories 
  that we will never make,
Until we meet again
  at that golden gate.

Sweet little one 
  how dearly you are loved,
Your eyes open for the first time
  in heaven that's above.

I'll never get to hold you 
  or kiss your precious cheek,
I'll never get the chance 
  to sing you fast to sleep. 

All these things without a reason 
  are stolen from me,
Left unanswered are my prayers,
  and unheard is my plea.

I long to smell you sweetness 
  and gaze upon your face,
To hold you near to my heart 
  in a motherly embrace.
 
I weep without comfort 
 for the baby born so still,
How silently you came and went 
  you presents I long to feel.

Your tiny kicks 
  are all the memory that’s left behind,
The thought of you at peace
  I now try to find.

 Sweet baby you are thought of daily
   and missed beyond all measure, 
You are my precious little one
   your memory forever treasured.

Countless is the number
  for all these tears I've shed,
So much left unfinished 
 and all the words unsaid.

My little daughter 
  until we meet once again 
  until I hold you near,
I can't say good bye 
  it’s much to hard to bear.

One day I'll cover you with kisses 
 and show you so much love,
To quickly your wings were ready 
  my perfect little dove.

My Dear little one 
  I loved you in this life
  and in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
  that no other could ever fill.

I carried you every moment of your life
  and ill love you every second of mine,
Together again will meet 
  only god knows when it's time.

Still born
but still you were born in deed,
Ill never forget you existed,
and that’s a certainty.
