not posted on BB forums for ages but I literally just heard this song on the radio and wanted to share it with you. It's so beautiful and expresses a Daddy's uncomprehending grief with such dignity and gentleness. It sent a tingle down my spine and a tear down my cheek. check it out on you-tube. Ed Sheeran - Small Bump Lyrics - YouTube
"Small Bump" by Ed Sheeran
[Verse 1:]
You were just a Small Bump unborn, Four months then brought to life,
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes,
I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, and now you're scan of my unmade plans,
Small bump in four months, you'll open your eyes.
[Bridge:]
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If your not inside me, I'll put my future in you
[Chorus:]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
[Verse 2:]
Your just a small bump unknown and you'll grow into your skin.
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin.
(Oh) Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice.
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide a small bump, in Four months you'll open your eyes.
[Bridge:]
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If your not inside me, I'll put my future in you
[Chorus:]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
[Verse 3:]
You can lie with me, with your tiny feet when your half asleep, I'll leave you be.
Right in front of me for a couple weeks.
So I can keep you safe.
[Chorus:]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
[Verse 4:]
Your just a small bump unborn just four months then torn from life.
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still un-aware as why.
This song is one of the rarer one's that more relates to miscarriage. I first heard it when I had my first miscarriage and it stills brings me to tears 6 years later.
My Name
Written by George Canyon and Gordie Sampson
It’s cold in here feels like everything’s upside down
I can feel you talking but I can barley make out the sound
I been kicking around these parts, feels like a year
I’m gonna change this world if I ever get out of here
She wants to dress me in pink, paint my bedroom blue
And I just laugh to myself, because only I know the truth
This love is my only emotion
Haven’t learned any fear any pain
It’s kind of funny with all this commotion
I guess they’ve got me, to blame
And they don’t even know my name
And they don’t even know my name
Well I’ve never felt so ready, think it’s finally time
Cause that big old world is waiting, and it’s mine all mine
Just then everything got real quiet, it got real bright
And a man took my hand said don’t worry, your mommas gonna be alright
Then he opened the gate, & I followed him in
Said you can wait right, here till it’s your turn again
And his love is the one true emotion
Heaven knows no fear no pain
I never got to set my wheels in motion
But they loved me just the same
And they never even knew name
Didn’t even know my name
You loved me just the same
And you didn’t even know my name
