You loved me from the very first moment,
Before you even knew you could.
You even dared to love me
When you didn't know if you should.
I didn't want to leave you.
I tried so hard to fight.
I wanted so badly to be born;
To be held by you and Daddy at night.
You took care of me everyday
Before it even mattered.
You continued to nurture me
Even after your heart was shattered.
I want to thank you for comforting me;
For keeping me safe the entire time.
I want you know this is not your fault;
It's no one's, not even mine.
You gave me a chance at life
When I hand nothing left to give.
You even called me your precious baby
When you knew there was no chance I'd live.
I knew that one day you'd accept
That there would be no life for me.
I just wanted you to get a chance to feel me inside,
And to take pictures for Daddy to see.
You are such an incredibly strong woman
And one day you will be
The most amazing Mommy any child could have;
You just wait and see!
I will always watch over you,
Up here, way above, where I can see.
The moment you give me a little brother or sister.
Oh, how I wish it could've been me!
