The world may never notice

if a snowdrop doesn't bloom,

or even pause to wonder

if the petals will fall too soon.



But every life that ever forms

or ever comes to be

touches the world in some small way

for all eternity.



The little one we long for

was swiftly here and gone.

But the love that was then plated

is a light that still shines on.



And although our arms are empty

our hearts know what to do.

Every beating of our heart

says that we love you
