Six months gone

She came into this world, a tiny light in my arms

Three months old, she owned my heart with all her little charms

We painted dreams on nursery walls, sang lullabies at night

But heaven must’ve needed angels, ‘cause they took her from my life

Now the crib’s still by the window, the blankets still there too

But the silence in this house feels colder than the truth

I held her hand ‘til her last breath, then held on to her name

And six months gone, my world’s undone — I’ll never be the same

Her mama wore a broken smile, tears she’d try to hide

But I saw the storm behind her eyes every single night

She kissed our girl’s old photograph and whispered soft goodbyes

Three months later, she gave in and took her final flight

Now the crib’s still by the window, her dress still on the floor

The laughter's just a memory behind a closing door

I screamed into the shadows, begged God to explain

Why six months gone, I lost them both — drowning in the rain

Some say time heals all things, but time just makes it worse

When you’re counting down the days in memories and hurt

I light two candles every night, and talk into the sky

A father’s heart, a broken man — just learning how to cry

That crib still by the window, untouched and filled with grace

I see her smile in every star, and her mother’s in her face

Though they’re gone, I keep them close through every tear-stained prayer

Six months gone, two angels flown — but love still lingers there

Yeah, six months gone, but in my soul…

They’re everywhere.
