For a woman, there is an intrinsic desire for motherhood. That innate, deep-rooted yearning to bear their own child and provide love, nurture and protection, for many, will climb to the highest degree of importance beyond anything else in life.
When this desire seems to be an impossibility, there is no greater pain.
For those fortunate enough to have never felt the burden of infertility or miscarriage, it is simply another world of devastation and despair that you will never understand to the fullest. This is a song that goes out to my Wife and all the Mother’s and Father’s who have endured the grief of infertility, miscarriages, or even both. It also goes out to all of the hopeful Mother’s and Father’s; praying day and night for a miracle in giving birth to a child.
Though most importantly, this song is dedicated to one who has stood and fought tirelessly, year after year, to break this seemingly never-ending cycle of broken dreams. For countless parents around the world, he has made a path for new life when it seemed there was no way.
This is my tribute to a true gift to humanity ~ Dr. Christo Zouves.
This tells of our story in losing our Daughter due to miscarriage after an already very long road to conception. We are ever so grateful to Dr. Zouves who made a way for us to feel, after all, as though she is here with us in the birth of our new baby girl.
She shares the name we originally chose for the baby we lost: Aisling ~ which means ‘Dream’.
Dr. Zouves’ vision for us held true through the very end just as the song states – representing him saying:
Take my hand
Take my heart
I am here
Though you’re torn
I will stand and fight for you
It’s my prayer through this song that those who are in the middle of the same fight will also hold onto their dreams and never give up.
Lyrics:
I’ve never felt pain like today
The angel flies away
Returning home
With everything I have ever loved
I only wanted one embrace
to feel your warmth
to touch your precious face
And now that you have gone away
Part of me will die today
Take my hand
Take my heart
Though you’re weak
And torn apart
I’m here
& I’ll stand by you
Just take these recurring dreams
On this broken path
Of endless agony
& now that I have lost all faith
Be His hands outstretched to me
It’s been two years to the day
And this pain won’t go away
The world moves on
& I still wonder what I ever did wrong
I only wanted one embrace
but we must be strong
we must carry on
I know that’s what they all say
& though I try
I’m still fading
Take my hand
Take my heart
I am here
Though we’re torn
We will stand and fight again
Just take these recurring dreams
On this broken path
Of endless agony
And when I have lost all faith
Will you be God’s hands outstretched to me
I’ve never felt her like I do today
as we walk these halls
I’m all out of faith
though I am here in memory of her
Take my hand
Take my heart
I am here
Though you’re torn
I will stand and fight for you
Through all these broken dreams
You made a path so that I can see
And when I had lost all faith
You were God’s hands outstretched to me
I can’t thank you enough
You made a path for us
& I see her
In your eyes
