Grief - it is true and it is real
It doesn't lie, but it sure can steal
It can take your hope, your love and your will
It can strip you of the ability to feel
It may not lie, but can lay heavy on your soul
A crushing weight that can make a hole
The hole can be deep and spread for miles wide
Even your family and friends can get trapped inside
All of this can happen, but don't allow it to remain
You have to find your light that outshines the pain
Look to Him and use His strength if you have none
Keep your eyes on Him and feel the warmth of His Son
You are braver than you feel and stronger than you know
Don't forget the one you lost, but let the loss of them go
Hang on tight to your rope of hope and tie a knot at the end
You may slip and it may burn, but remember this my friend
Love is not what let you down, but instead lifted you up
You wouldn't feel so empty now if they hadn't filled your cup
Cherish their gift and the blessings they bestowed
For the love they gave you is so much more than some will ever know.

Your Tiny One
The tiny life that grew inside
A greater love you'll never find
There are no words to heal your pain
There are no words that can explain
The loss you feel is very real
The weight will lift and you WILL heal
This is no one's fault and don't take the blame
It is God's perfect plan but it hurts just the same
Keep the love but let the loss in
You have to grieve or the pain will win
Don't lose sight of the others you love
Don't give up and keep looking above
For now you have a place being saved just for you
Now you are Mommy no matter what else you do
And your tiny one will wait with family gone before
They will all be there with open arms when you knock on Heaven's door
A greater love you'll never find
There are no words to heal your pain
There are no words that can explain
The loss you feel is very real
The weight will lift and you WILL heal
This is no one's fault and don't take the blame
It is God's perfect plan but it hurts just the same
Keep the love but let the loss in
You have to grieve or the pain will win
Don't lose sight of the others you love
Don't give up and keep looking above
For now you have a place being saved just for you
Now you are Mommy no matter what else you do
And your tiny one will wait with family gone before
They will all be there with open arms when you knock on Heaven's door

This Is Your Race
I cry for you now, but it won't last very long
No time for that - we are way too strong
There is nothing that you can't overcome
Every fight isn't to be won, but the battle has just begun
So you dig in at the start of this race
There is no other you, you can't be replaced
God has given us the sign it will all be OK
Let us open our hearts for He knows the way
Life is so short, we're only here for awhile
So you have to decide "where's my place, what's my style"
But I think you're here to sparkle and glow
I think you're here so others will know
They will see your light, so don't let it dim
They will feel your strength and know it's from Him
So eyes turned to Heaven and heart filled with Grace
We are all here behind you, but this is Your Race.

I Wasn't Sure
I wasn't sure I could watch you go
Would there be pain, would it be slow
The pain I felt can't be put into words
I gave you life, now He was taking yours
I understand now why it had to be
The sacrifice of you was to make a stronger me
I wasn't sure if my heart still worked
I wasn't sure if I liked this Earth
I was afraid that you wouldn't know
You wouldn't feel my love before you had to go
But you knew and finally made me stay
You wanted my arms around you when you passed away
Thank you for the strength and show of bravery
I won't ever give up again because you didn't give up on me.
