For Our Baby
The happiness we felt knowing you were on the way
Quickly turned to despair on that fateful day
The doctor didn’t want to say the words she had to say
We didn’t want to hear them but we couldn’t run away
And so we sat and listened as our worst fears were confirmed
Our desperately wanted baby would never be full termed
They pumped me full of drugs not once but twice I fear
I didn’t want to do it but the pain was too severe
Then came the operation and as I drifted off to sleep
I promised you my baby that your memory id keep
You should be here today my love and it just isn’t right
You need to know we love you and dream of you at night
We wanted you so much to be in the right place
But life decided to be cruel and slap us in the face
The awful way in which we had to let you go
Will haunt my dreams forever as only I will know
So sleep well my little one wherever you may be
And don’t forget we love you your daddy and mummy
