Mommy For A Moment

I was a mommy for a moment
But that moment is gone
Somebody please tell me
What did I do wrong?

I never got to hold you in my arms
or be filled with all your little charms
You both were already very loved
But there were greater plans for you above


I was a mommy for a moment
But that moment is gone
Somebody told me
That I did nothing wrong

So why did God take you away?
That was the most heartbreaking day
We'll never walk hand in hand
We'll never build castles in the sand


I was a mommy for a moment
But that moment is gone
I believe now
I did nothing wrong

God loves you so much, he called you both home
If only I would have known
That I'd never hold you, or call your names
Or even dance with you in the rain


I was mommy for a moment
But that moment is gone
Somebody please tell me
Why is the pain I feel so strong?

When I saw you both, I felt such joy
Wondering if you were both girls or boys?
Maybe one of each
Then our family would be almost complete


I was mommy for a moment
But that moment is gone
Although the pain is great
We try to carry on

In the future, I hope you come back to me
What a joyous day that would be
But for now, we find comfort in God's arms
Knowing you are both safe from pain and harm


I was mommy for a moment
But now that moment is gone
The pain is strong, but God is stronger
We will prevail for now and longer!
