Bright Day's Gone Dark…


Mother Nature worked it well,
I was happy, she could tell,
For there inside me a baby bright,
The brightest star ever in the night!

Growing and thriving in a warm cocoon,
Feelings all alien, making me swoon.
Tummy a jitter, nerves to the fore,
As once more I pass out and hit the floor.

As ill as I was, I was very happy and gay,
The baby I longed for to be born one bright day!
But the sun went in and I was distraught,
Solace for me just couldn't be sought!

For there was a baby - not in full bloom,
Was only just growing, in a loving cocoon!
I took great care, I stayed so calm,
So my baby wouldn't come to harm.

But one bright day the sky went grey…
God took my baby on that saddened day!
My heart was broken, can't be repaired,
Who was this God, who hadn't heard?

I prayed and prayed for this happy day,
That I would have a baby who would come to stay!
But the warm cocoon wasn't strong…
Couldn't house my baby for too long!

So my days became dark and miserable too,
I was devastated, didn't know what to do?
I asked this God above, 'why me?'
I can't understand the logic you see!

This baby didn't have a chance at life,
Did I do anything to cause this strife?
Was I being judged for my ways?
And was I to live in the blackest days?

Time went by, my heart didn't heal,
Over the baby, the baby God did steal!
He said ‘suffer not little children, come unto me!'
So why do they suffer, for I really can't see…

I can't see why things happen so sad!
I asked God, 'What did I do that was so very bad?'
'Was it in punishment for my ways?'
'And was I to suffer for the rest of my days?'

'No, No! My child!' My God did tell!
'There is no such thing as a damning hell!'
'Things happen in life for reason we can't see!'
'It's not because of you...and not because of me!'

What did He mean then?  For I can't see...!
The reasons why - He took my baby from me...!
I don't understand why it happens at all...
Who's decision is it to give that call!

So my child that had no chance of life that day…
For that's basically...what He did say!
No matter how hard it was that I'd pray!
My baby was taken from me, that very day...

Did God not listen?  Did He not hear my plea?
He mustn't have, for He took my baby from me!
