Take care of our little child,
Someone who means so much to us,
So beautiful, so gentle, so mild.

A battle fought when tiny,
To stay upon this earth,

From the moment of the birth.

Our prayers were sent for healing,
We gave thanks every day,
For the time the child was amongst us,
But alas, still was taken away.

To your home in heaven above,
I am sure you had your reasons,
For taking someone we love.
