A beautiful little boy was a gift from God Such an unexpected joy Not long after the doctors came and said To prepare our hearts and our heads Our angel would soon be going away I cried and beg the Lord to let you stay A little heart so fragile and weak There were no words of comfort that anyone could speak I just held you tight There was nothing that they could do the damage was already done and we had to say goodbye to you I closed my eyes in denial and told myself that you would be alright Your father didnt know what to say Like me he desperatly wanted his little man to stay Now I hold you in my arms and pray Caress your small little cheeks and these are the words that I had to say Hush my precious child Its time for you to sleep No more tears will your pretty brown eyes weep I’ll cuddle you tightly in my arms Kiss your sweet little forehead and protect you from harm Your sweet scent I will always remember Precious little moments we had together hush my dear sweet child for the pain will be no longer Ill sing you a lullaby hold you in my arms and wonder why So little time have you lived here with me My only son my little baby But its not meant for you to be here God as called you up to heaven He needs you there His little angel will feel better in his arms only he alone can protect your from pain and harm No more crying my little prince Much better place you’ll be flying with the angels just above daddy and mommy No more pain or suffering only happiness and laughter Heartache and tears we can only cry here after You’ll fly to heaven with the angels and the emptiness of your prescence will fill my heart When you take your last little breath and our two worlds part Your smile and your tender love Share them with the angels in heaven up above One day we shall walk hand and hand together as one I’ll miss you my baby my precious little son Even though my heart is broke These are the kind words that the Lord had spoke Although my child your heart is hurting and full of sorrow I promise I will keep your precious joy safe until you can be together tomorrow
