My Little Angel Was Born Sleeping

O’ my little Angel
Hope you’re in a better place
Every passing second I think of you
For this moment, is indeed, a disgrace.

I carried you for 9 months, there was no pain
Full of love, hopes and dreams, but all in vain
You were snatched from me before you were born
In your thoughts my child, I deeply mourn.

The day I was pregnant there was nothing in this world I wouldn’t give
Today I wish my baby boy could somehow live
I loved you the moment you were inside me
For you, my child, are precious and will always be.

Those precious dreams your dad and I held
Can never be fulfilled as we had planned
We longed to see how handsome you would be
Now we shed tears in melancholy.

We were eager to see you, hear your first cry
Why, my baby, did you have to die?
Wish we had a chance to hold your tiny hand
All we see is the void you’ve left behind.

You were born sleeping for it’s the way that was meant
Like they say, Angels from Heaven are occasionally sent
Love you my Angel, love you my child
My smile for you is hard to hide.

Sleep my baby, sleep in peace
These are your mummy’s whispers that would never cease.
