Something on my heart.
As I sleep here in my home, I know that I am safe.
There's nothing that can harm me in this warm and peaceful place.

The rocking and the swaying of your body helps me rest.
And the soothing rhythm calms me with each heartbeat 'neath your breast.

I can not see your face yet, but I know that it is near.
I imagine of its beauty, it will never bring me fear.

I don't know what my purpose is or why you've chosen me,
But I know that my creator has planned my perfect destiny.

I am so thankful for the life I've been given in this world.
I hope I'm everything you wanted in a perfect little girl.

I haven't been here long but I'm already counting down the days.
257 left until I see your face!

Time passes so quickly and each moment I grow more.
I'm so excited now, more than I've ever been before!

I heard you speaking of me and I'm so glad you know I'm here,
But your voice was different this time, full of anguish and fear.

If I could hold you close I know just what I would do.
I would tell you everything is fine, I'd never want to hurt you.

Something's going wrong! I'm not ready to leave!
I've lost you so quickly, without a chance to even grieve.

I heard someone say that we all have a choice,
But when I tried to scream no one could hear my voice.

I'm back with my creator now; he's trying to comfort me,
But it hurts so much to think of all the things I didn't see.

I didn't taste the air; I didn't see the trees,
I didn't smell the flowers or hear the buzzing bees,

But I felt the searing pain as it tore my tiny body apart,
And the agonizing torture as it stopped my beating heart.

My life was cut short but there is one thing I wish for,
I wish I could have known you just a little more.

I wish I could have seen the face I longed to see,
To tell you I forgive you for what you did to me.
