I never had a chance to see your face
to count your fingers
feel your embrace.

I never had a chance to hear your laugh
or cry
before I said goodby

it was over before I knew
but I suspected,
and daddy did too.

Precious to us
Precious to God
life is a gift
- no matter how short lived.

Each day is a gift
this moment is a "present"
Cherish each second
before they're all spent.
