I gave birth to you
I felt your warmth
I counted ten fingers, ten toes
I held your perfect little hands
I cradled you in the palm of my hands
I wanted to hold you closer
I was afraid I would damage your delicate skin
I didn’t want to cause you any more pain
I know you were sleeping, gone
But you felt so close
I kissed your hands, your face
My tears fell all over your tiny body
You had your daddy’s long toes
You had your mommy’s wide smile
I find comfort knowing I held you your whole life
I want you to know that if I had had it my way
I would never have let you go
