For nine long months I carried life, safe underneath my heart
With days to go, her spark winked out, before her life could start
My name for her was Terra Lynne, my first and only girl
To have her taken way too soon just set my life awhirl
I lost myself for quite a while, my way I couldn't find
And darker thoughts I'd never had, festering in my mind
Love of my heart, sweet little child, she never took a breath
Her quiet birth was shadowed by her still and perfect death
My Terra Lynne, born in despair, from life you did depart
Though I can't hold you in my arms...I'll hold you in my heart
