Whisper of an Angel

The whisper of an angel 
Can open Heaven's gate,
A glimpse of faith and courage 
A love strong enough to wait,
Whisper you are safe 
Whisper softly, angel love, 
My heart is aching so 
Needing comfort from above,
Tell me you are with me 
Whisper gently in my ear,
"You will always be my mummy" 
In the quiet I will hear,
My heart still aches to hold you
I close my eyes and see,
Your beautiful face now 
And who you were to be,
Through dreams I once held close 
In the distance now, so far
Still you're more than just my child
You're the twinkle in the stars,
So I'll hear your angel whispers 
"You never need to let me go,
Hold me, mummy, close within" 
Though the pain and sorrow flow,
One day we shall reunite 
Angel, whisper words of grace,
And I promise I will hold you 
In another time and place

Angel wings with golden threads,
Shining silk adorns their heads,
Fingers like the age of time,
Cradling baby which is still mine.

Angelic movement full of grace,
Light and life upon their face.
A beautiful silence they all will keep,
While rocking my baby fast asleep.

Angel wings with golden threads,
Shining silk adorns their heads,
Mummy’s never far away,
Until she’s here with us you’ll stay.

Angelic movement full of grace,
Light and life upon their face.
The brightest star I’ll ever see,
Is my baby in eternity.....

If I could take a minute out of each and every day.
To hold my child close to my heart and kiss his fears away.

If I could take a minute out of each and every week.
To play with blocks and peek-a-boo, tag or hide and seek.

If I could take a minute out of any span of time.
I'd never waste a second of the pleasures that were mine.

If he could crawl upon my knee and lay his sleepy head,
Upon my shoulder tenderly and dream of gingerbread.

I'd spend my time in total bliss and watch my small son grow,
from babyhood to childhood, knowing all there is to know.

If I could stop my aching heart and put my mind asleep,
If I could stop the flow of tears that are always on my cheek.

I only need a minute, Lord; I know he's safe with you.
But there's something real important that I had no time to do.

If you could do it for me, Lord here's a message he should know,
Tell him that I Love him, and that I'll never let him go...

You don't know how I feel, please don't tell me that you do.
There's just one way to know, have you lost a child too?
"You'll have another baby", must I hear this every day?
Can I get another mother, too, if mine should pass away?
Don't say it was "God's will", for that is not the God I know.
Would God on purpose break my heart, then watch as my tears flow? "You have an angel now, in heaven, a precious child above."
But, tell me, to whom here on earth shall I give this love? "
Aren't you better yet?" Is that what I heard you say?
No! A part of me has gone, and I will always feel this way.
Perhaps you think your silence will help to ease my pain?
But I want to talk about the child I'll never hold again.
Don't say these things to me, although I know you do mean well.
They do not take my pain away; I must go through this hell.
I will get better sure, yet slow, and it helps to have you near,
But "I'm sorry that you lost a child" is all I need to hear.
