Our Gift From God

You are my gift from God, little one
From Mommy and daddy’s first vows to God
Awaiting our fondest wish and prayers to be answered
Our happiest day, the beginning of a new family
God had given us a baby when all hope was lost
Mommy is beside me with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
Mommy and daddy can’t wait to meet you
You are growing inside me so quickly
I can feel your little feet and hands move smoothly
We will name you after your Grandma
Who is beside me with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
Yes, something is happening but don’t be scared my little baby
There in my womb is where you need to be
I will keep you there even if it kills me
Until you are ready my little baby, Mommy will hang on
Mommy is beside me with God by her side

You are my gift form God, little one
God said it is time but don’t be afraid my little baby
Daddy is there to take my place until mommy is safe
He says you’re beautiful and you stole his heart
When you opened your eyes and met his for the first time
Mommy is beside me with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
You are so incredibly small
Just a pound and a half, at 11 inches’ tall
The doctors say you’re alright but any thing could happen
So just sit tight little baby every thing is going to be alright
Mommy is beside you with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
Something does not feel right my little baby
Don’t you ever give up, you have to hang on
Surgery and life support will help you fight
I know it’s so scary and it seems like there is no end
Mommy is beside you with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
It’s been a few months and we are almost there
You fought so long and hard, you gave us so many scares
Just a few more pounds my little baby and home is near
Soon this will be just a memory of our heart ace and tears
Mommy is beside you with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
It’s been three months; we finally get to take you home
You are still sick my little baby but home is where you need to be
I will hold and love you every minute of every day
Love and nourishment will bring you along your way
Mommy is beside you with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
Wow, you are getting so strong
It’s been six months and you are moving right along
Smiles and giggles, laughs and coos
Doing all the things I thought I would never see you do
Mommy is beside you with God by her side

You are my gift from God, little one
Oh my…it’s a year! So beautiful, smart and strong
You steal every ones heart one by one
That’s it little baby you can do it….you can crawl
Mommy never left your side little baby
Mommy is beside you forever with God by her side
