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.
