As you were born
the silence 'echoed' around the room
For our beautiful child
had been taken away to soon
You did not make a sound
Your eyes they did not open
We looked at you with love and pride
But inside our hearts were broken
Your tiny hands, and tiny feet
Your skin so soft to touch
You looked just like your daddy
and we love you oh so much
Your tiny heart had ceased to beat
Your lungs refused to scream
We hoped we would wake up soon
as surely this was a bad dream
And still,
The silence 'echoed' around the room
and reality began to take hold
You were never to come home with us
our world now seemed dark and cold
but you, our baby, you were born an angel
This cruel world you will not endure
and as we try to mend our broken hearts
remember we love you forever more
