about

The hope of pregnancy and the heartache of miscarriage

lyrics

Mothers Day

I don’t think I’m asking much, just one small thing everybody has but me
Just one natural thing, it’s been happening from the start to eternity
A blessing from above, a miracle of love, yet I can’t seem to reach the finish line
Cos all I’m asking for is one miracle of mine

It seems unfair and cruel, the very thing I want is someone else’s burden to reject
I want to slap that girl, outside the ward smoking her second cigarette
Cos here I go again, another no, another bloodstain, why can I not see this through?
I can carry a ton of heartache but baby I can’t carry you

I want another mouth to feed, the patter of tiny feet
I want to feel a new heart beating next to mine
I want to know all about that pain, it’s a small price to pay
I will plead with all the saints to be kind
To let me keep this child in time I pray for Mothers Day

So it’s been a little while, I’ve done the tests and there are two lines showing
But I’ve been here before, emotions all a mess but still I’m hoping
Please my little one, now you’ve come just hold on strong, I so want to say hello
I’ll be waiting here for you, I just wanted you to know
