We couldn’t wait to hold you
& see your pretty face
to count your little fingers
& check your toes are in their place

We will never see you smile
or hear your hearty cry
We will never be able to dry your tears
or share your happy times

Our precious little Angel
we will always know your face
In our hearts & stars forever
You will alway have a place!

Her little soul has touched us all, 
she didn't need to stay, 
her spirit touched each one of us 
before it sailed away. 
We all know souls arrive on earth 
with special roles to fill, 
and hers has fully played its part 
her memory guides us still. 
She had a very special soul 
she stayed but just a while 
so if or when you're feeling sad 
recall her with a smile. 
For then you'll know inside your heart 
the reason why she's gone, 
and never feel too empty that 
her role down here is done. 
Her spirit touched each one of us, 
no other ever could. 
Forever will we cherish her 
the way we know we should.

We so much wanted to keep you,
We watched you day by day,
Until with breaking hearts ,
We saw you slip away.
God watched you as you suffered,
And knew you had your share.
He gently closed your weary eyes,
And took you in his care.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With that we’ll never part,
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our hearts.
Nothing can be more beautiful,
Than the memories we have of you.
To us you were someone special,
God must have thought so too.

I thought the hurt was ending.
I thought the pain had gone,
but now I turned the corner and discovered i was wrong.
The pain's returned anew, the tears again are falling.
As my arms ache to hold you my mind,
your name, keeps calling.
Now I find I look for you amongst the baby's I see.
I wonder what you would do
and think of how it would be.
At times I catch your eyes in the faces around me.
And no matter how I try, from this pain, I can't get free.
Yes, I thought that I was better,
though it hasn't been that long.
But now I see things clearer and admit that I was wrong.
The road ahead's just starting with
its path not yet in view,
still I know pitfalls await me.
as I journey along with you
