Why God takes the little ones
I swear I'll never know
You had so much life to live
It just wasn't time to go.
For comfort now, I think of you
With tiny little wings
Up above, in a Beautiful Place,
Listening to angels sing.
You'll never know the pain I feel
The hurt you left behind.
Oh, what I wouldn't give
to hold you one more time.
I carried you in my womb,
Then I carried you in my arms
And now, until it no longer beats
I'll carry you in my heart.
