Fingerprints

Your fingerprints are on my heart.
Even though you never held my hand
you touched me.
Even though I never heard you speak
you taught me.
You taught me about love.
You taught me about caring.
You taught me about courage.
You taught me about faith.
You taught me about happiness.
You taught me about sorrow.
You brought me closer to myself.
In the time I cared for you,
how my life changed.
Never to be the same again.
Because of you
I know I will somehow be stronger
Because of you
I know I will be more prepared for life
All this from tiny fingerprints
that touched my heart
Because of this
You will live forever in my soul
never to be forgotten
I will always love you.
You are my child.
Born Still
But Still Born

Footprints

These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints,
Never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have my wings.
These tiny footprints were meant,
for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me a chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all,
these tiny footprints,
are found on mommy's heart.
Cause even though I'm gone now,
we'll NEVER truly part.
