lil' bit, was born today..
she was not here to stay..
she cried for just a lil bit...
before she went away..

her parents knew that this was due..
they didn't know what else to do..
they just wanted the chance..
to hold a lil bit of heaven...

so tiny and so helpless..
as i cradled her in my arms..
i had to swaddle her in a blanket...
and present her to her mom...

i could not hide the tears that i shed..
my heart for them it bleed..
i tried hard to hold these tears back as they told me..
tomorrow she will be laid to rest..

"for all the lil bits of heaven..
that are born today & every tomorrow...
you touch a lot of lifes as you enter and depart this world...."
