"Angel Unaware"

"Oh the longing we both had
To be a mommy and a dad
We put our hopes and dreams in you
He hoped for pink, I dreamed of blue
But for you God had a different plan
One we may never understand

We were visited by an angel
Though we didn't know it then
You were the answer to our prayer
Our Angel Unaware

We hardly got to say hello
Before we had to let you go
God breathed your name and called you home
So briefly here, so quickly gone
But in the stillness of the night
My empty arms still hold you tight

In my mind I see you running
Chasing bees and butterflies
Soft hair gently blowing
Healthy cheeks, laughing eyes
In the quietness of the morning
When the mist hangs in the air
I hold you close within my heart
My Angel Unaware

How can I miss someone so much
I didn't have the chance to touch
Yet as you grew inside of me
I learned how strong a love can be
I knew you for a lifetime
I'll love you all of mine."


I knew you for a lifetime, I'll love you all of mine.
