The special little angels that God has let us borrow Have lived their too short lives knowing nothing but sorrow



There is nothing more precious than tiny little feet Making the pitter patter sounds and make your life complete



Their tiny little hands hold on to big hands they adore Why can’t we love them equally and give them so much more



Why must we find such angels in garbage cans and rivers And hear about such horrors that up your spine send shivers



When babies are so tiny they do not understand Why mommy wasn’t there for them to lend a helping hand



Where was she when they needed her where were the loving arms The ones that were supposed to guard and keep them from all harm



Why were those eyes so hateful, why’s mommy being so mean What have I done to make her ignore my desperate screams



Maybe someone will hear me is there a mommy there? Will she please take me with her and show me that she cares



Dear Lord, I’m just a baby, please make her understand She’s not supposed to kill me or leave me in this can



Oh God, I thought you told me that she would love me so That she would love me always and rock me to and fro



You said that she would kiss me and hold me when I cry But dear Lord she is leaving me and hoping that I die



I am too small to crawl right now and much too small to walk Oh Lord please won’t you tell her for I can’t even talk



I promise I’ll be happy, I promise I won’t cry Oh please, dear Lord, please tell her, I’ll really really try



To be the perfect baby I’ll do my very best I’ll sleep, I promise, soundly, and even let her rest



If only she could hear my thoughts, I promise not to nag Please someone won’t you help me, she’s put me in this bag



Maybe someone will find me before the break of dawn And care for me and love me before my life is gone
