I lost my child three years ago
The pain so bad no one can know
The first year had come and gone
My mind kept saying this was wrong
In disbelief I lived in my own world
I tried to believe that she was still there
When at birthdays and Christmas she
didn't appear when all the family were here
The tears would fall and my heart would
break living in my own world was a big mistake
The next year I lived on wishes dreams
and prayers I started to see her every where.
My heart would lift for a short time until
I could see she wasn't mine then I had
to remember she had left me behind
Another year and I am numb I see her
in the winter or standing in the sun
I here her in the wind blowing through the tree
I see her in the shadows shes everywhere
with me I am happy shes still with me but
my heart still has this ache a piece of me is
missing the piece she had to take
As the years go on I don't know what to say
I don't know what the future holds or if this pain
will go away so I turn to the God who loves me
and keeps me every day and when I feel the pain
I ask him to take it away we never will for get them
every memory right from birth all the precious things
they did while with us here on earth.
