As winter dawns I feel the love and beauty from deep within The life growing inside of me the breath of life begins. Your heart is beating next to mine your beauty I can see I feel you deep inside my soul you are a part of me. I place my hand upon my womb and feel you move within Smiling I think that very soon your life will just begin. My happiness at yout pending birth is soon clouded with fear You suddenly stopped your activity and I cannot feel you near. The doctors tell me it is nothing just go home and rest But the more I wait for you breath I only believe them less. But the next day I do back again I know something is wrong I felt my baby move last week, please tell me he's not gone! Four doctors tried and couldn't find the beating of your heart So terrified I closed my eyes and hoped we'd never part. Finally a doctor found a beat and sent me on my way Despite relief I was still concerned but what could I do or say? But something still is not right why can they not see Where is your breath I cannot feel deep inside of me? They do not listen - what do I know? they're experts in the field But I still know that part of me something is wrong, I feel. An emptiness washed over me as I looked deep inside Where are you, my little one? your life is not denied! Ans so amdist all my concerns the day is finally here When I beathe life in you and your gentle sigh I hear. But my fears are soon realised when I do not hear you cry Where's my baby - oh please God no! why did he have to die? Cooper, my dear little one I wanted you so much The beauty of the gift of life in your gentle touch. I still feel you in my soul where you'll always be Close to my heart of hearts a special part of me. Copyright Christina 20th April, 2001 |
