Fate has taken its toll once more
To leave us lifeless shocked deeply to the core.
A baby perched upon an angels guiding wing.
Is carried home, to god’s sweet hymn
We seek revenge for the pain now caused
For more hurt on a family leaves life slowly paused.
How can we learn to forgive?
When we hurt so much we can’t bear to live.
I have a life to slowly get back too
I have people to see and lots to do
If I can’t grieve, I can’t carry on
And If I don’t carry on well then the devil has won.
I pick myself up from this solid ground
I hold my head high and I stand proud
I will carry on for the one I have lost
Because she deserves to see me smile, no matter what the cost
To the angels high in heaven, Look after my baby girl
Keep her safe and secure, teach her how to twirl
If she twirls like a ballerina then I know you have succeeded
You’ve made my girl become exactly what I needed.
