IT'S YOUR AS WELL.
THERE IS SO MUCH I'D LIKE TO SAY,
SO MUCH TO TELL
THE DAY'S, MONTHS, AND NOW A YEAR HAVE PAST.
I OFTEN WONDER HOW LONG THIS GRIEF WILL LAST.
I'LL NEVER SEE YOU WALK ACROSS THE FLOOR.
I WISH I COULD HAVE HELD YOU JUST ONCE MORE.
MY CRIES HAVEN'T STOPPED, THEY GO ON AND ON.
THERE ARE TIMES, I FEEL SO ALONE.
EVERYDAY, I GET UP, TRY TO PUT ON A HAPPY FACE.
THEN I START TO CRY AGAIN, WONDERING IF I'LL EVER WIN THIS RACE.
I GO TO SEE YOU ONCE A WEEK
SOMETIMES I PUT FLOWERS AT YOUR FEET.
YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED SO MUCH.
I I KNOW IT'S MY HEART YOU'VE TRUELY TOUCHED.
THERE WILL BE A DAY WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN.
AS LONG AS I HAVE FAITH IN GOD, MY FRIEND.
MICHAEL, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE OUR SPECIAL ANGEL!
LOVE AWLAYS, MOMMY
I ASKED WHAT MAKES A MOTHER AND I KNOW I HEARD HIM SAY....
A MOTHER HAS A BABY, THIS WE KNOW IS TRUE.
BUT GOD, CAN YOU BE A MOTHER, WHEN YOUR BABY'S NOT WITH YOU?
YES, YOU CAN, HE REPLIED WITH CONFIDENCE IN HIS VOICE.
I GIVE MANY WOMEN BABIES, WHEN THEY LEAVE IS NOT THEIR CHOICE.
SOME I SEND FOR A LIFETIME; AND OTHERS FOR A DAY
AND SOME I SEND TO FEEL YOUR WOMB; BUT THERE'S NO NEED TO STAY.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, GOD, I WANT MY BABY HERE.
HE TOOK A BREATH AND CLEARED HIS THROAT; AND THEN, I SAW A TEAR.
I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU, WHAT YOUR CHILD IS DOING TODAY.
IF YOU COULD SEE YOUR CHILD SMILE WITH OTHER CHILDREN AND SAY.
"WE GO TO EARTH TO LEARN OUR LESSON'S OF LOVE AND LIFE AND FEAR,
MY MOMMY LOVED ME OH SO MUCH, I GOT TO COME STRAIGHT HERE...
I FELL SO LUCKY TO HAVE A MOM, WHO HAD SO MUCH LOVE FOR ME
I LEARNED MY LESSON VERY QUICKLY, MY MOMMY SET ME FREE.
I MISS MY MOMMY OH SO MUCH; BUT I VISIT HER EACH DAY.
WHEN SHE GOES TO SLEEP, ON HER PILLOW IS WHERE I LAY
I STROKE HER HAIR AND KISS HER CHEEK, AND WHISPER IN HER EAR.
MOMMY, DON'T BE SAD TODAY, I'M YOUR BABY AND I'M HERE."
SO, YOU SEE, MY DEAR SWEET ONE, YOUR CHILDREN ARE OKAY
YOUR BABIES ARE HERE IN MY HOME; AND THIS IS WHERE THEY'LL STAY.
THEY'LL WAIT FOR YOU WITH ME, UNTIL YOUR LESSON IS THROUGH
AND ON THE DAY THAT YOU COME HOME; THEY'LL BE AT THE GATES FOR YOU.
SO, NOW YOU SEE WHAT MAKES A MOTHER, IT'S THE FEELING IN YOUR HEART
IT'S THE LOVE YOU HAD SO MUCH OF; RIGHT FROM THE VERY START.
THOUGH SOME ON EARTH MY NOT REALIZE YOU ARE A MOTHER
THEY'LL BE UP WITH ME ONE DAY; AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE BEST ONE.
I LISTENED SO CLOSELY AS THE DOCTORS DREW NEAR, THROUGH THE DEVICE YOUR HEARTBEAT ECHOED IN MY EARS.
THEN ON THE MONITOR, THERE YOU WERE. MY PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL, A BOY I WAS SURE.
THE DAYS OF WAITING FOR YOU TO ARRIVE, THINKING ABOUT THEM BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES.
THE DAYS TURNED TO WEEKS, AND I TRIED REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE READY. THE DATE WASN'T FAR.
MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, MY SWEET LITTLE CHILD. THE NIGHT YOU HAD HICCUPS, I LAUGHED 'TIL I CRIED.
THE NIGHT CAME QUICKER THAN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW. IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF APRIL AND STILL VERY COLD.
THERE I WAS ALONE AND AFRAID, AND YOU MY BOY WEREN'T GOING TO WAIT.
I HEARD YOU CRY FOR A SECOND OR TWO, THEN QUITE. WHAT WAS WRONG? I COULDN'T SEE YOU.
THE DREAD, THE TERROR, EVERY MOTHERS FEAR, I WILL NEVER HOLD MY BABY NEAR.
I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, YOUR HIS ANGEL THERE, BUT MOMMY STILL LOVES YOU AND ALWAYS WILL CARE.
JESUS, PLEASE HUG MY SWEET LITTLE BOY AND LET HIM KNOW HE'S MOMMY'S PRIDE AND JOY.

AND MEMORIES WERE A LANE
I WOULD WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN
TO BRING YOU HOME AGAIN
NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN
NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY
MY HEART STILL ACHES WITH SADNESS
AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE YOU
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
