We dreamt of you for years it seemed,
and then you were real,
it was no longer just a dream

We smiled and wondered and watched you grow,
what you would look like, we couldn't wait to know
We prepared your room, our bags and our lives
for that special day you were to arrive

We knew you would teach us what's important in life
little did we know, that was to be your purpose in life
We were not prepared for what we heard that day,
something horrible had happened, you could not stay

We cried and prayed forever it seemed,
we didn't understand what happened to our dreams
We will forever remember the moment you were born,
you were so beautiful, our hearts were torn

We went home without you, not as we had planned
why you were not with us, we may never understand
We are left to continue, it's impossible it seems
but we know in our hearts, you were more than just a dream
