My heart still remembers

My heart still remembers 

A time in the past

My heart still remembers 

What I thought would last 

A child so precious 

So perfect and sweet 

A soul bright and new

With tiny smooth feet

My heart still remembers 

The wonder and love

My heart still remembers 

Those gifts from above

Days we expected 

That they’d never end

Greeting each child

That heaven would send

My heart still remembers 

Our sorrow and pain

My heart still remembers 

And my soul bears the stain 

The news was then broken 

Of my family’s end

Holding his hand

My chest felt it would rend

My heart still remembers 

The darkest of time

My heart still remembers 

Those who were kind

Then heaven showed us

Another sweet road

Where children were lost

Bearing heavier loads

My heart still remembers 

Learning to love

My heart still remembers 

Children sent from above 

Though born of another 

They're children still 

And I have a home 

And a heart, and a will
