We went to our friends house for dinner tonight and afterwards sat in the back yard around a fire pit with the kids and his guitar. Then he asked me if he could share a song with us. It was a song he wrote for my baby, Abby, and their baby, Jesse, who they lost to miscarriage at 12 weeks four years ago. It is so beautiful and touched me so deeply. I just wanted to share it with you ...
"Moments With You"
Written for Abby & Jesse
By Lawrence Herlinger II
There's sweetness in the air
And a glow on her face
O there's nothingthat could darken this day
Cause the positive test
Brought joy to her soul as she thoughtabout the baby
That she would soon hold
But as time moved on
The fears did surround
Something was wrong
No heartbeat could be found
And her world crashed down
and she fell apart
And I can hear these words
bleeding from her heart
Why were you put in my life
For these momentsto just slip away?
I'm torn and broken inside
So many moments
I just hide away
A pink room was waiting
For a miracle to see
Butterflies and birds, flowers and bees
Every kick she felt
From her little girl made her think
About the moment
She was waiting for
And she prayed to God
The nurse was wrong
But the doctor said
I'm sorryYour baby is gone
And her world crashed down
and she fell apart
And I can hear these words
bleeding from her heart
Why were you put in my life
For these momentsto just slip away?
I'm torn and broken inside
So many moments
I just hide away
And I don't understand
as I'm walking through this pain
Why you left this world
before I even saw your face
But I'll look forward
till the day when we meet
But for now...play at Jesus' feet
And I don't know
Why you were put in my life
For these moments
To just slip away
But I'll cherish these moments I had
Every heartbeat and kick, every day
And I don't know
Why you were put in my life
For these momentsto just slip away
But I'll cherish these moments I had
Every heartbeat
Every kick
Every day
