1. My Child Did Exist

I’ve lost a child, I hear myself say,
And the person I’m talking to just turns away.
Now, why did I tell them, I don’t understand.
It wasn’t for sympathy or to get a helping hand.

I just want them to know I’ve lost something dear.
I want them to know that my child was here.
My child left something behind which no one can see.
My child made just one person into a family.

So, if I’ve upset you, I’m sorry as can be.
You’ll have to forgive me, I could not resist.
I just want you to know that my child did exist.

2. My Dear Baby

There will never be a day that goes by, where I do not think of you.
I will always think about what you would have looked like
I will always wonder how it would have felt to hold you in my arms
I will always miss not having the chance to comfort you, soothe you and nurse you
I will always wonder what it would have been like to have you here with us.

My beautiful child,
I know your passing will teach me to be stronger
I know your passing will teach me to be more anchored in my faith
I know your passing will teach me to be more grateful for all that I have been blessed with.

For you my baby,
I will try and hold my head high and be strong because I was privileged enough to nurture you for those few precious weeks
I will always feel honored to have had experienced the miracle of carrying you in my womb.
I will never forget you
I love you
And I pray that I will be able to hold you, my beautiful baby when it comes my time to leave this world.

3. I Thought of You

I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother, and I know I heard him say.
A Mother has a baby; this we know is true.
But God, can you be a Mother when your baby’s not with you?

Yes, you can, he replied, with confidence in his voice,
I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime, and others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb, but there’s no need to stay.

I just don’t understand this God; I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his thought, and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you, what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile, with other children and say…

“We go to earth to learn our lessons, of love and life and fear.
My Mummy loved me so much; I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mum, who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly; my Mummy set me free.

I miss my Mummy oh so much, but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep, on her pillows where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek, and whisper in her ear,
Mummy don’t be sad today, I’m your baby, and I’m here.”

So you see dear sweet one, your children are okay.
Your babies are here in my home, and this is where they’ll stay.
They’ll wait for you with me until your lessons are through.
And on the day that you come home, they’ll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother, it’s the feeling in your heart.
It’s the love you had so much of, right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize until their time is done.
Remember all the love you have and know that you are a special Mum.

4. Angel of My Tears

How do you love a person
who never got to be,
or try to envision a face
you never got to see?

How do you mourn the death of one
who never got to live.
When there’s nothing to feel good about
and nothing to forgive?

I love you, my little baby,
my companion of the night.
Wandering through my lonely hours,
beautiful and bright.

What does it mean to die before
you ever were born,
to live the lovely night of life
and never see the dawn?

Ah! My little baby,
you lived like anyone!
Life’s a burst of joy and pain.
And then like yours, it’s done.

I love you, my little baby,
just as if you’d lived for years.
No more, no less, I think of you,
the Angel of my tears.

5. I Did Not Expect This

This is natural, they say
It is all for the best
I cannot move past this heartache
This pain in my chest

Those days were surreal
Did this truly just occur
Happiness turned to sorrow
My life now a blur

This is natural, they say
I knew I was going to lose you
The most difficult emotion
There was nothing I could do

I am given no explanation
This is natural, they say
Were you pink or were you blue
My complexion is now grey

Trying to move on
A forward step every day
I will always remember you
This is natural, they say

6. An Angel Never Dies

Don’t let them say, I wasn’t born
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave
I’ve loved you from the start.

Although my body you can’t hold,
It doesn’t mean I’m gone.
This world was worthy, not, of me
God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face.
You have my word, I’ll fill your arms
Someday we will embrace.

You’ll hear that it was “meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes.”
But that won’t soften your worst blow.
Or make your heart not ache.

I’m watching over all you do,
Another child you’ll bear.
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.

There will come a time, I promise you
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you’ll understand.

Although, I’ve never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes.
That doesn’t mean I never “was.”
An angel never dies.

7. They Say Love Is Blind

They say love is blind, and you made this true
I never got to place you in an outfit either pink or blue
Never rocked you in my arms as you quietly slept
Not one tear did I get to dry as you sadly wept

I loved you nonetheless with all of my heart
My world crashing down when we were torn apart
I dream of you wrapped in a blanket of a white angel wing
The Lullaby you hear is the comfort I wanted to bring

I still hold you every day the only way I know-how
God doesn’t take my love for you this much he does allow
It is as strong as it would have been if I would have seen you
After my journey in life is done, I will carry my love through

It will carry me straight to you, you will never be hard to find
We will be together, and I will hold the love that was blind
Looking into eyes that are mine that shows a soul I made
I will place you on my chest where you always should have laid

They say love is blind, and you made this come true
I will place you in an outfit either pink or blue
I will rock you in my arms as you quietly sleep
I will dry your tears as you happily weep

8. The Missing Piece

Your first Christmas came without you.
You’re the unopened secret screams.

We carry you in our broken hearts all-day
And unwrap you in our dreams.

I see you in every bulging belly,
In every mother’s thoughtless kiss.

I see you in empty baby shoes.
I see you in that, I see you in this.

You’re in every “why can’t that be me?”
And the tears hidden in my car.

You’re the missing piece of every minute
…I wonder where you are.

You were here before you weren’t.
There was a future with you in it.

Now you’re the broken parts of us
And the missing piece of every minute.

9. Precious Little One

I’m just a precious little one who
didn’t make it there.
I went straight to be with Jesus,
but I’m waiting for you here.

Many dwelling here where I live
waited years to enter in.
Struggled through a world of sorrow,
a world marred with pain and sin.

Thank you for the life you gave me,
it was brief but don’t complain.
I have all Heaven’s Glory,
suffered none of earth’s great pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me.
I’d have loved to bring it fame.
But if I’d lingered in earth’s shadows,
I would have suffered just the same.

So sweet family – don’t you sorrow.
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.
I went straight to Jesus` arms
from my loving Mother’s womb.

10. Lullabies

Daddy, please don’t look so sad,
Mommy, please don’t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.

Please do not try to question God,
don’t think He is unkind.
Don’t think He sent me to you and that
He changed His mind.

You see, I am special
and I’m needed up above.
I’m the special child you gave Him,
the product of your love.

I’ll always be there with you.
So watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that`s gleaming.
That`s my halo’s brilliant light.

So Daddy please don’t look so sad.
Mommy, please don’t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus.
And He sings me lullabies.

11. The Tiny Rosebud

The Master Gardener from Heaven above
Planted a seed in the garden of love

And from it grew a rosebud small
That never had time to open at all

For God in His perfect and all-wise way
Chose this rose for his heavenly bouquet

So think of your darling with the angels above
Secure and contented and surrounded by love

And remember that God blessed and enriched your lives too
For in dying, your darling brought Heaven closer to you.

12. My Little Bean

You were my little bean,
that was created in my womb.
I laid in bed at night excited,
and now I’m full of gloom.

I never understood how much
you could miss someone you never met.
And now my heart aches so bad,
that it fills me with regret.

Was there something I did wrong?
How could this come to be?
Your little face, your hands, your feet,
is something I’ll never see.

I loved you oh so much,
its something that cannot be explained.
Now, these feelings of anger and jealousy,
make me feel ashamed.

You are my angel baby,
and that I know is true.
God is holding you now,
and listening to your cue.

You are in Heaven looking down,
watching mommy cry.
I wish you were here,
but then I know that this is not goodbye.

13. Image of the Angels

You were made in the image of the angels,
and all that was good up above.
A precious little star in the dark night,
Made with God’s care, and with his love.

The day you were born he couldn’t lose you,
For you were far too beautiful for earth.
He made a home by his side up in heaven,
You were taken by the hand before birth.

You said, “I must not go and leave my Mommy!”
God said, “There is something that I must let you see.
Can You See that light shining down upon your mother?
She now has a part of you for all eternity.

She will soon be in heaven here with you,
Come now let’s go prepare her home.
For when the time comes for her to see you again,
She will realize that she was never left alone.”

14. Our Baby

A space where life once stirred
My eyes were not yet seeing
Where once my heartbeat shared a tone
with a small and fragile being

So scarcely formed yet still a life
A dream, a hope, a promise
Our plans were changed to now include
This new life thrust upon us

Then just as quickly as it came
Our dreams were gone away
The deepest pain I’ve ever felt
Our baby died today

With footprints left upon our hearts
She gently took her leave
We’re left with nothing but regret
And the only time to grieve

There was no service to be held
No mourning time required
No songs of longing and despair
No words to be inspired

We’re simply told to bear the pain
“It’s nature’s way,” they say
I can’t forget our baby moved
inside me yesterday

And with each word of sorrow
my teardrops fall like rain
The anger and resentment
are mixed with guilt and pain

I look to heaven for a sign
to help search out a course
Where love can teach acceptance
and eliminate remorse

My body will accept the truth
that now our baby’s gone
But in our hearts, our Angel
everlastingly lives on!

15. My Little Angel

I felt your presence there inside of me,
nestled soft and warm;
Sweet scent of baby’s breath,
precious words left unadorned.

I saw your tiny heartbeat,
then I knew that you were fine;
A perfect baby we created,
one that would be mine.

Then that tragic day it came
there was nothing I could do,
Only wait and hope
for the precious life of you.

Yes in the beginning
your daddy was afraid;
Only he would love you unconditional
and never run away.

He loved you more this I do know,
as he cried for you that day,
When the doctor said that you were gone,
daddy wanted you to stay.

He would have held you close to him,
and see your perfect form,
A gift of daddy’s love,
would have kept you safe and warm.

Only now you are an angel over me
beautiful and bare,
My heart would hurt if you cried for me
and mommy was not there.

Still, we are together in my heart and memories,
You are still a part of my memory.
Rest gentle now ‘sweet baby’ there is no pain
you are never alone,

I know you are with the guiding angels
in your peaceful home.
I will come with you someday
only now is not my time,

Then we will be together again
again you will be mine.

16. For My Little One

17. My Little Angel

I never got to hold you,
Or kiss your little head
Or watch you sleeping soundly,
All snuggled in your bed.

I can’t count your tiny fingers,
Or you even smaller toes
I won’t see your smile,
Or your cute little button nose.

You’re gone too soon – we don’t even know
If you’re a girl or boy,
Our hearts are filled with sorrow
When they should be full of joy.

I know you are in heaven,
Where there is no pain or tears.
You’ll never get hurt or sick,
In heaven, there are no fears

And though I’m sad you’re not here right now
For us to hold today
I know we’ll hold you in our arms
When we’re in heaven with you someday

– April Westlake
