~~~Hush Lil Darling ~~~~===Copyright@shenni bubb2005


I 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....
