For Faith...

For Faith...

My precious little one

Born so much too soon
We only had you such a short time
How my heart aches to hold you

Once more

With Daddy’s dark hair

And a body so small
We hardly had you with us    
For much time at all

Oh, my precious one

I know that you’re in heaven

I’m glad you feel no pain
And yet my heart is breaking 
To see and hold you again

Just a little more

We knew from very early      

You would not be able to stay
The doctors said you would not live
But we wanted you anyway

So very much

 

Oh my precious little girl

How sweet and tender it was
To be allowed to hold you close
Just not for long enough
 
Not nearly long enough

For all the weeks I carried you

For the moments we held you close
I am so very thankful
But what I want the most

Is more…

More time to love your little self

More time to hold your hand
More time to whisper I love you
More than I understand

My Lord, My God,

I thank you for this gift
A little one to love and hold
Please give her one more kiss.

My angel baby sweet,

Dance and play
And praise at Jesus’ feet
And someday, sometime
I’ll join you
And hold you at His feet.

I love you,
Mama
