Your life was but a moment
like the twinkling of an eye
With hardly time to say 'hello'
before we had to let you go
and say a sad goodbye

The Angels came
and took your hand
leading you to their promised land
But not before
you'd touched our heart
and let us know we'd never part

You're just around a hidden bend
where angel cuddles never end
Safely in God's loving care
As we whisper your name 
In our every prayer

Lots of love mummy & daddy

If Roses Grow in Heaven
Lord pick a bunch for us
Place them in our baby's arms
And tell her they're from us

Tell her we love and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for a while

Because remembering her is easy
We do it every day
But there's an ache within our hearts
That will never go away

Don't let them say i wasn't born, that something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave, I 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 never breathed your air, or gazed into your eyes
That doesn't mean i  never 'was'... An Angel Never Dies

It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief
Since 'men don't cry' & 'men are strong
No tears can bring relief

It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field all calls & visitors
So she can get some rest

They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through
But seldom take his hand & ask
'My friend, but how are you?'

He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break
He dries her tears and comforts her
But 'stays strong' for her sake

It must be difficult
To start each day anew
And try to be so very brave...
He lost his baby too
