I held him safe within my womb  And kissed him in the birthing room  I held his hand in sickness too  And now I don't know what to do  My son, my child, my flesh and bone  Has died and left me all alone  And in the night when no one sees  I cry and end up on my knees  I cry to God and ask Him why  My precious son he had to die  And when the morning light appears  That's one more night I've spent in tears  And as the years they slip away  I learn to live just day by day  I turn to God who was so far  I look to where the answers are  I put my hand into His hand  He pulls me up and now I stand  I hear my Father say to me  'My Son He died upon a tree  I know the pain that mothers feel  When life turns black and robs and steals  And takes a portion of your heart  And tears your very soul apart'  Oh Lord I pray, please make me whole  Replace the joy that life has stole  This pain, this loss, is part of me  But still I'm longing to be free  I choose to walk out through the door  And melancholy reigns no more  I leave behind the shades of grey  To walk in light, to kneel and pray  ' Come to me child, I've heard your cry  I saw your tears when your child died  Rest in me and find your peace  Replace your pain and find release'  Despite the fact we had to part  You still live on within my heart  There'll never be a day go by  A tear wont fall from your mother's eye.
