Little One

little one, little one
where did you come from?
where have you gone?
flitting, fleeting so happily away

too soon little one,
unknown by all but me and God
knit so carefully within my body
carved to perfectly into my heart

unexpected joy,
unanticipated pain
loss and gain all in a moment leaving
eternity sliding through my fingers

from my Father you came,
and to Him you have to return
oh, little one, little one
i will hold you again soon
