Dust Covered Dreams

'Dust Covered Dreams'

Your life was but a miracle
You touched our lives and made us whole
We didn't even know it yet
But you were two and life was great

You both grew and grew before our eyes
And then we learned the big surprise
Looking forward knowing we
The happiest parents soon to be

But sometimes dreams turn into dust
All you can do is cry sad tears
Those future moments should have been years
But now we're dying inside
How do you stay alive?

We knew some risks could be ahead
The joys of your lives filled our heads
Seeing you both made us cry happy tears
It rested all our worried fears

First two circles that you were
Flickers of heartbeats, yes you were
From circles to our little beans
Then little aliens with buds of arms and feet

Then sometimes dreams turn into dust
All you can do is cry sad tears
Those future moments should have been years
But now we're dying inside
How do you stay alive?

You should have been our first born babes
But now you're gone and here we stay
It should have been a different way
We cry because your lives were taken away
Sad tears streaming down our faces
Wondering how to repair these broken hearts

Increased moments we saw you both grow and grow
From babies with buds to arms and legs
Looking more and more like our beautiful little babes
You brought so much joy to us seeing you wave

Disbelief how something so small could grow so fast
Every moment we could we listened to your heart beats, so fast
Our little dancer and our shy little babe
Dreams of parenthood sang in our heads each day

But sometimes dreams turn into dust
All you can do is cry sad tears
Those future moments should have been years
But now we're dying inside
How do you stay alive?

Then the fears were there when we learned of the concern
But hopes things would be ok, the ground it did shake
We knew the risks, we'd do whatever it would take
The future unclear but hopes kept us going through the days

Then we knew what we had to do
Formed a plan to save and rescue you two
The wait was long, surgery the only way
Dreams were dashing away but hope still there to stay

But sometimes dreams turn into dust
All you can do is scream through your fears
And when all your future dreams get washed away
Still crying, holding onto life to stay
But now tears just remain
Hearts broken on that day

Why oh why? These questions repeating every day
No answers till the moment you see them after pain
Worries of what awaits, blurry yesterday's
Not knowing when your life will feel ok

Dashed, torn away, dreams should have come true
Our little babes were taken from us way to soon
Still carrying the bodies that were you
Kicks on the last day, then nothing, our hearts broken in two

Why did our dreams turn into dust?
All you can do is cry sad tears
Those future moments should have been years
Why oh why? Now we're dying inside
How do you stay alive?

Dreams gone, heartbroken, our futures unspoken
We wish that you were here with us
Your Mommy and Daddy, do you miss us?
Your kicks made you feel so real
But now you're gone and all is still
I know we must live on
We miss you our babes
Heartbroken you're gone

We will always love you
