Precious, tiny, sweet little one,

you will always be to me

so perfect, pure and innocent

just as you were meant to be.

We dreamed of you and your life

and all that it would be.

We waited and longed for you to come

and join our family.

We never had the chance to play,

to laugh, to rock, to wiggle.

We long to hold you, touch you now

and listen to you giggle.

I'll always be your mother.

He'll always be your dad.

You will always be our child,

the child that we had.

But now you're gone...but yet you're here.

We'll sense you everywhere.

You are our sorrow and our joy.

There's love in every tear.

Just know our love goes deep and strong,

We'll forget you never--

the child we had, but never had,

and yet we'll have forever.
