As I watched your tiny body shake
And held your little hand
You had such perfect features
You would of been a man.
We gave to you the gift of life
And all our love within
But for an unknown reason
God called you back to him.
We never got to hold you near
Or kiss your tiny face
But God knows of the burden
The hurt, the loss, we'll face.
Although we never held you
Our baby you shall stay
For with you lives a part of us
You'll never be away.
Our heart's cannot be mended
Our tears will ever flow
For often we will think
Of our beautiful little boy.
We know you won't forget us
Although you couldn't stay
We pray God grant us strength
To get us through each day.
So when we cry or shed a tear
Or say a silent prayer
Remember always darling
We will always be there.
We cannot touch you physically
But in our hearts and minds
We'll hold the love from deep within
Through eternity and time.
So sleep my son and rest in peace
Your suffering is finally passed
God be with you in every way
For so is your mom and dad.
