Wrapped in a blanket warm
This little one has just been born
We fell in love instantly
Now a family of three
She’s perfect with a button nose
Tiny feet and tiny toes
Little hands and little nails
Never cries and never wails
Lying there against my chest
Cradled in the place that’s best
Eyes closed she gently sleeps
Not a sound, not a peep.
The love I feel is huge and new
I know that she can feel it too
I never want to let her go
But this is goodbye as well as hello
She was born with her eyes forever closed
And this is the last time ill touch her toes
Or kiss her skin and tiny head
The only time I’ll tuck her in bed
Il never be the mummy I planned
Mothering her on this land
And she will never have her chance
To see the sea or learn too dance
As I kissed her head and said goodbye
A part of me broke off inside
And as I left and walked away
I left that piece, with her it stayed
I thought my heart would never heal
But the hole is almost filled
As I left with her heavens key
You see a part of her was left with me
and so …
Even though we are worlds apart
We’ll forever have the others heart.
