Precious Child by Karen Taylor Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

Born Still - by Unknown Author

Do you know how hard it is
To hold a baby who doesn’t cry?
Do you know how hard it is
To tell that baby Goodbye?

Do you know how hard it is
To look at an empty bed?
Knowing your child should be there
Resting her sleepy head?

Do you know how hard it is
Feeling you’re to blame?
And no matter what they tell you
You'll always feel the same.

Do you know the heartache
Knowing she's gone for good?
And feeling that you didn't
Do all the things you could.

Do you know how hard it is
To hear that it's Gods will?
Do you know the emptiness
When your child is born still?

Unfortunately we do!

To The Child I'll Never Know - by Gloria Dianne

How can I say Good Bye
When I never said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For the child I'll never know?

You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.

I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.

I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.

I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.

I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.

You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one.
