~~~Hush Lil Darling ~~~~===Copyright@shenni bubb2005I hold you tightly in my old arms which be slightly crippled Darlene Gazing down at your dark head of tight curls just like your mamma's Inhaling the sweet baby essence of you and shedding a silent tear Oh Darlene, such sacrifices people make at times for life and love Why your mamma had you knowing her body was not strong enough Tells you so much my dear of her nature and love for you Although you both had never met she knew you Caressed you whilst cocooned within her womb Sang to you of love and happiness compassion and dreams She glowed dear, glowed like a red hot coal as she carried you Her eyes sparkled with the knowledge she carried life and love A combination of two hearts mingled to create the miracle..you Never once regretting her choice to soldier on as the days And your growth weakened her so in body yet not spirit Oh the joy was so evident dear with preparations for your arrival Blanket, toys, dolls, dresses and the usual vast array of baby things She knew..yes knew you were a girl ...and dreamed of silken curls Rose bud lips... rosy cheeks and chubby cheeks Oh the dreams she had for you dear great dreams Dreams we all shall endeavor to make come true Oh darling you stir within in my arms so oblivious to to all You who shall be so deprived of a mother's tender love Oh but darling you shall not be deprived of ours Even old grandpa here shall indeed bestow so much upon you Oh tears do spill so often My daughter Gone Never to return My own little angel Yet here you lay within my arms A replica indeed of her.. It takes me back to another place and time Of when I made such promises then also I feel I failed sweetheart For In your mamma's eyes I could do anything Yet I could not fight cancer.. Why often be the question..why oh why God I guess we shall never know until we too are at heaven's door Yet suffer many must for God does have the answers Darling until my time does come to leave and tend to your mother And your grandmother I shall be here with arms so wide Oh precious one I love you so....
