"Watching Over You"

"Songwriter John Dolan wrote this song "Watching Over You (Brianna's Song)" <--- {click link to listen} in honor of his niece, Brianna. He felt inspired to write this song in 1999 when Brianna was miscarried. Dolan hopes it can bring comfort to families who have suffered a similar loss."

"Watching Over You"

(Brianna's Song)

You never got to dress me up

in ribbons, bows and lace

Never got to hear me laugh

Or see my smiling face

Never got to brush my hair

Or wash between my toes

Why I had to leave so soon

Only Heaven knows

You never got to hear me cry

Or wipe away my tears

You never got to watch me grow

Or silence all my fears

You never got to see me walk

Or fall and scrape my knee

Heaven knows that sometimes

Things aren't meant to be

Chorus:

Heaven knows I love you

Heaven knows you love me too

I know you did everything

There was for you to do

Don't you worry mommy, daddy

We'll be together soon

I'm looking down from Heaven

And I'm watching over you

I'm waiting here in Heaven

And I'm watching over you

Never got to hear me laugh

Never got to hear me cry

Never got to say hello

Never got to say goodbye

Don't you worry mommy, daddy

We'll be together soon

I'm looking down from Heaven

And I'm watching over you

I'm waiting here in Heaven

And I'm watching over you

"A Quiet Love"

This song below is called "A Quiet Love" by Caroline Kay Music. She wrote it about babyloss.

Here is what she said about it on her Facebook page: "I wrote this song for (someone who had a miscarriage) on my flight home to Dublin the other day and sent it to her. It is not my attempt at understanding or explaining what she is going through, but when something moves me, I write. Rebecca has asked me to share it in the hopes that other women might appreciate it too."

It reminds me oh so much of my beautiful Lily girl. 💕 🎶 

"A Quiet Love" Lyrics:

"You'll always be with me

Though I never got to know the person you'd be

Your heart knows my heart

But I've loved you from the start

And me, I will be strong

I'll try to heal, and in time I'll go on

But 'til my dying day

Your memory will never be far away

A quiet love

Forevermore 

A quiet love

I'll always be listening for

And though I wish the world could hear you

Your quiet is enough

Sleep, my quiet love"

Brighter Days

My friend Brook, who I met through local infant loss circles, wrote a beautiful song called "Brighter Day" after her precious son Colby was stillborn in November 2013.

This is what she wrote about it: "The song began as a lullaby for Colby, but evolved into an expression of my hopes and dreams for him, my pain, and ends in a prayer, asking God to give me hope for a brighter day. As you can imagine, this song is very dear to me. It became a tool for me on days when I needed to cry, but couldn't because I was fighting the grief. For quite a while, I couldn't make it through this song without melting into tears, healing tears. I'm so thankful for the gift of these words because by sharing, many have also been able to heal a bit more. Please share this song with others who you think may benefit from hearing this song. There are brighter days ahead."

I've had the blessing of hearing Brook sing this song in person and both her voice, as well as the lyrics, are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift with others, Brook!
