A Tiny Hand
A tiny hand we'll never hold,
by Denise Hanstad
a child without a name;
Your coos and giggles
won't touch our ears,
but we loved you just the same.
The twinkle in your little eyes,
was not for us to see;
we longed to hold you in our arms,
but it never came to be.
God now holds your tiny hand,
He's given you a name;
your coos and giggles grace Heaven's ears,
but we'll miss you just the same.
The twinkle in your little eyes,
now lights the sky at night.
God holds you close in loving arms,
you're always in His sight.
A tiny hand we'll never hold,
we have no reason why;
but we'll always hold you in our hearts,
even though we said good-bye.

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home
Hello...Goodbye
Hello
Hello, my little one
I knew in my heart that you were with me
Your existence brings me joy...surprise...fear...confusion
This isn't the right time, this shouldn't have happened
Your presence is sinking in
Goodbye, my little one
Has my resistance to your existence caused you to leave
The ceasing of your existence has broken my heart
I must soon say a final goodbye
I love you, my little one
Goodbye
~from Mommy
A faint line has just revealed your existence
But I couldn't bring myself to acknowledge that til now
As much as I try not to, I feel myself falling in love
But it is, and it has...you are reality
The plans, hopes, dreams are spinning through my head
A simple test has shown that you're no longer with me
No matter what I've thought, felt...I've loved you
Deep down inside I'm aching and wishing this wasn't true
I wish that time wouldn't come so quickly
Always have, always will...always
