I am a mother to a child you can't see.
I can't hold him in my arms yet,
because he's in heaven waiting for me.
I am a mother to a child I never got to hold.
I never got to see his face
or count his fingers and toes.
but I am a mother to a little angel
who waits for me for arrive.
on days like this it's hard
to not have him by my side.
but I am a mother,
and someday my pain will be erased.
I'll get to hold my baby
I'll finally see his face
I'll count his tiny fingers
I'll tickle his tiny toes
I'll see if he got my dimples
I'll see if he has his father's nose.
I am a mother...
but please understand when I say
days like this make me long
for my first mother's day
in a heaven, after this life
has faded far away.
