Visitor From Heaven

I never thought I would have kids. Hero's don't normally get the chance. But as I looked upon my baby girls tiny features, I realised that I could be happy. I'm so happy I could spend a little time with her… too bad that she's gone. My baby didn't make it through the birth.

If only for a while
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile

It's hard to imagine that a child so tiny, so new, could be so beautiful. Small hands, pale, porceline skin. I would have loved to see her grow to be a beautiful young woman, and start a family of her own. But it obviously wasn't meant to be. I guess she's in a better place now, I guess she doesn't have to witness all the horrible things this world has in store. She's in a better place now.

Reminding of a better love
And of a better place

I've been stabbed before, and god almighty, it hurt. But this is worse, a thousand times worse. I don't get to give her hugs, when she's hurt, or upset, or just when I want to give her a hug. Empty arms… empty heart. I am going to call her Angel, because she is one now. She has a name now. She has an identity, that's important. I don't want to let go, but hoping for a miricla isn't going to bring a baby back, is it?

At least I got to see her. My beautiful baby.

With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came

She wasn't meant to stay here with me. But she was a gift, a special one for me. God gave her to me to make me smile. But he took her back, I guess he needed her. I trust him, he sent her to me, he may have taken her, but he'd take care of her, I know he will… he'd better. If she cry's, then he'll hold her, and make it all better, and she'll stop. He'll always be there for her, I can't though, because I travel a lot, and because she isn't here to take care of.

But I am so glad she came, I got to hold her one time, the first and last. I'll necer forget her.

If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it's time to say
We trust you to the Father's love
And to His tender care
Held in the everlasting arms
And we're so glad you're there
We're so glad you're there

I want to let go, but it's so, so hard! You wouldn't understand, I don't think you would. My Angel's an angel, and she's gonna be the best. But why'd she have to go? What did she ever do wrong? She was just a baby… she didn't do anything wrong…

It hurts too much, but I can't hold on forever. I let you go, my baby, and she might be gone, but I know she'll always be with me in spirit.

With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came

I'm so glad she came…

And as I look out the window, and the sky is a clear blue. The wind it blowing gently, I hear the faint sound of a babies laugh. I sigh as my husband holds me close, comforting me in the bast way possible. Forget the world, forget everything else, right now I'm with my husband and my Angel baby… just, let the world be as peaceful as she is now.
