Sweet child we never really got to know.
It's hard for us to let you go.
We waited and we wanted you.
We had so many dreams for you.
We think of smiles we'll never really see.
We think of events that will never be.
There is no first steps or no first teeth.
There is only a void and our grief.
We planned to take you places far and near.
We yearned to keep you safe from fear.
We hoped to show you much of your new world.
We wanted to teach you as your life untwirl.
It's hard to understand why you died.
We feel so numb, many tears we cried.
We have so many questions and no answers seem to come.
We tried so hard to save you but nothing could be done.
God, we stand before you broken hearted and ask you to heal these lives that must be parted from this little one that we can no longer hold.
Who will always be apart of us, even when we grow old.
God, Take this child in your loving arms.
No more can he suffer any harm.
Bless him always and Bless us too.
Be with us, and help us to make it through.
