Miscarriage is a common but rarely discussed sorrow of marriage; in working out that grief, Polly wrote this song.

Lyrics

I see the glitter of sunlight through leaves,
feel the warmth of the sun, a cool morning breeze
But such earthly joys were not yours to receive
You've already gone on to greater glories than these

I know the laughter of friendship so deep,
the thrill of new love growing stronger and sweet
But they can't compare with a bliss so complete
You've already gone on to greater glories than these

I thought that I would be holding your hand
showing the way, helping you understand
But God in His wisdom sent you on ahead
So, my child, I will follow instead.

I know the hope of what's promised to be,
A faith that can tell me of joy and of peace.
But these are just shadows of the reality
You've already gone on to greater glories than these

I thought that I would be holding your hand
showing the way, helping you understand
But God in His wisdom sent you on ahead
So, my child, I will follow instead
