No-one knew that morning, and
No one knew a thing
The heartbreak that was coming
And no one could do a thing
The baby we were all waiting for.
The baby we could feel near
The baby coming into our family
The only one this year
The expected family celebrations
And the expected family cheer
Has been replaced by grief and fear
Especially for Chris and Debs whom we love so dear
Christmas is so near now, and met with deep regret
For the little girl with laughing eyes that I once knew
Is replaced by a woman with such sadness in her eyes,
That I know she and her husband are dying inside,
And there is nothing we can do.
We put our arms around you both
And fill you with our love
Because I had a dream last night
Of the land above
I heard a quior of angels
Singing up above
Lighting up they sky
And talking of the boy they love
They were thanking god for bringing him,
But they asked the question why?
And God said that he was too good for this earth
And he is sorry he made you cry.
The angels called the baby Jacob,
And looked at him with such love
Jacob looked at me without any fear
Whilst the angel kissed his face
The angel that held him
Said do not fear
Tell his Mummy and Daddy
That Jacob is always near
She told me to tell you that when you sleep
Jacob lies with you
And knows the memories you keep
He will love you forever,
And he hopes you both stay strong
And he will be back in your arms soon
Where he belongs
Sweet dreams baby Jacob in heaven above,
As we send you our love
Love Auntie Jo xx
