From Miracles to Memories
The way has not been long. What should have taken years to build Suddenly is all gone. We don’t understand it, Can someone tell us why? We just got to know you, How can we say good-bye? We softly tough your little cheek And then your tiny chin. Why must you be leaving Just as we begin. We have no time for talking, No time for first school days. We just wanted to know you In oh so many ways. We cry for all the moments That we will never see. So now we’ll make our memories For that which cannot be. We’ll pack your bracelet and tiny gown In very special places. So when we ache to hold you near We can touch them to our faces. The smell of you will linger there And bring you back to mind. We’ll save each baby treasure, So you won’t be hard to find. We’ll print your tiny feet And save a lock of your hair, So we’ll have a part of you When you’re no longer there. We’ll take a picture of your face, So everyone will know That you were someone special Even though you had to go. We’ll place your name on the family tree And pass it through the years. With pride we’ll always speak of you As we brush away our tears. From Miracles to Memories The way has not been long. We’ve lived your life in these short hours, And now our time is gone. Someday, perhaps, we’ll understand And maybe we’ll know why For now the memories we have made Will help us say goodbye. From Miracles to Memories Will help us say goodbye |
