They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way we feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to live without.

The world may never notice if a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,

Or even pause to wonder if the petals 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 ones we longed for were swiftly here and gone,

But the love that was then planted is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty, our hearts know what to do,

Every beating of our hearts says that we love you.
