Born Asleep
‘Born Asleep‘ .. such a heartfelt phrase
touches me to the core –
The broken cries of a Mother’s heart
when it just can’t take anymore.
I open my heart, one Mom to another
so you never lose your hope –
That although it gets no easier
I promise, you’ll learn to cope.
Remember your Angel is sleeping
in a world much kinder than ours –
And will always be there to hold your hand
even in your darkest hours.
My own little Angel will keep an eye
and play with yours in their park –
But you must find your love and strength
and feed your own little spark.
You’ll never be alone my friend
I will always understand –
If the tides loom up to swallow you
just reach out and grab my hand.
Today it would be wonderful
to see you play or smile –
But heaven lent you to this world
for just a little while.
And in that short but precious time
you brought along much love –
And all that love is with you now
in heaven up above.
Your leaving caused so many tears
and such a lot of pain –
But God needed one more Angel
so he took you back again.
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.
