Born before their time was due
Petite, yet perfect nonetheless
A premature babe so delicate
A gift which Heaven blessed

A brand new life in miniature
Every feature perfectly formed
Like a budding flower just opening
It’s full beauty waiting to adorn

Many weeks and months follow
Each day a mountain to climb
Always praying that tomorrow
No more mountains you will find

Some will live for years and years
Others, sadly, far, far less
Their time to be, too early
Yet still their life was blessed

Those that leave, will be born again
Perfect in every way
Blessed once more from Heaven above
This time they will stay

So treasure every precious moment
Before their time on earth is spent
Know that you’ve been truly blessed
With a gift which Heaven sent
