 The Memories I Keep

RACHEL


From the very moment you were born,
I knew this fact to be true.
If we were to be together,
I would have to pray for you.
You were born two months early,
something doctors called premature.
Because you were so little,
there were no guarantees for sure.
A chance that you may not be healthy,
even a chance that you could die.
When I realized all of this,
to God this is what I cried...
"Father in heaven please hear my plea,
I have a special need for my baby,
I need a blessing for I am sad,
a man needs his daughter,a girl needs her dad".

God answered and finally brought you home.
I was so thankful I must say.
Unfortunately it was for to short of a time,
our family broke up and you moved far away.
Now it seems that there are endless miles,
that has come between you and I.
But your still near, here in my heart,
and to God, this is what I cry.
"Father in heaven please hear my plea.
I have a special need for my baby,
I need a blessing for I am sad,
A man loves his daughter, a girl loves her dad".
