Darling baby daughter, you died, but first you saved my life
Amazing little fighter, all you knew was pain and strife
New tiny bundle, with no hope for life, grave for a bed
A baby loved, abnormal, as abysmal tears were shed

Empty yearning arms, the endless longing for my newborn
Loving you, a still living you, oh, how my heart did mourn
I was so young, your soul so old, intelligence apparent
Zygote's fateful genetic code---a foreordained event
Assured the demise of the little Angel God had sent
Brittle bones were broken with each and every movement...
Endless nights of worry brought you no strength or improvement
The medical professionals all smiled their knowing smiles
Honestly assuring me you were fine, with their denials

Had it not been for you, my days on earth were numbered
Ultimately, the price you paid left me wise---unencumbered
Ransom high and unrevealing, in hopeless hope we prayed
Then tearfully laid you beneath the tombstone we displayed
