I went to a memorial service today for babies at our hospital.My second daughter Philippa was stillborn at 25 weeks in April this year.
At the service I heard a song that I have never come across before.I looked it up and it was written by the father of Robert who was also stillborn.I am including the words here as they were very comforting and I hope that they offer those who have lossed some comfort.xx
Sweet Little Child Of Mine?
Written and performed by Andrew Scott (Copyright Control) for Robert
Sweet little child of mine
Why did you have to go?
Never thought I would say goodbye
Before I said hello
Sweet little child of mine
Keep asking why it was so
I?ve asked the question a thousand times
But the answer?s I don?t know
You?ve gone with all the other children
Who left this world too soon
And God knows why
Only wish that I knew too
Sweet little child of mine
I?ve found it so hard to pray
I was angry with God and I shouted out loud
Why did you take my son away?
Sweet little child of mine
I?ve doubted my faith that?s true
But deep down inside something I can?t deny
I know my brother?s watching over you
God you have your own reasons
For doing the things that you do
I don?t understand why
But in my heart I hope it?s true
Sweet little child of mine
Keep asking why you can?t stay
As time goes by I get no reply
But I know we?ll meet again one day
Sweet little child of mine
Still hurts that we had to part
But over the years there are fewer tears
Because you?re living in my heart
Over the years there are fewer tears
Because you?re living in my heart
