The Gift We Could Not Give Each Other

I was looking online at some stuff and i have been thinking about my sister and brother in law lately as you all know and i came across this and i just had to share it with you guys, its a tear jerker so get ready

The Gift We Could Not Give Each Other Words and Music by Michael Mclean

When she was a little girl she held her dolls like children.
Dreaming of the day when she'd have babies of her own.
Now those dolls lie on a shelf as lifeless as the dreams she dreamed.
It's become the deepest ache her heart has ever known.
There's a man who's trying his best to comfort her with roses.
Telling her he'll find a way to make their dreams come true.
He's been saying this for years,but now his tears reveal the truth.
In his heart he fears there's nothing else that they can do.
Then a gift is given,a phone call straight from heaven.
There's a child that's nearly due that a young girl's giving you.
She gave more than just one life
when she makes of this man and wife a father and a mother.
She gives the gift they could not give each other.
More than we could ever know this couple thanks the heavens.
Every time they hold their child,
they feel they hold the world.
Words will never be enough to share the way the family feels.
From deep inside their hearts they want to tell that girl:
Not a day is ever through till we've thanked the Lord for you.
Your sweetness lingers nearin our hearts and thoughts and prayers.
You gave more than just one life
when you made of this man and wife,
a Father and a Mother.
When you gave the gift we could not give each other.
You have changed our lives forever.
Only you and God above could give this gift of love
we could not give each other.
