"Angel Baby"
Memorial Song
By Shekinah King
"Angel Baby" is a special memorial song written, composed, and performed by Shekinah King and recorded and produced by Corey Whitmore of Media 22 to help raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss. The song premiered at the 3rd Annual Butterfly Ball a free online event hosted by the Alana Rose Foundation on February 26, 2022.
Shekinah describes the meaning of this special song by saying, "Although I haven’t personally experienced this, I have several close friends that I’ve grieved with over losing their babies. With their inspiration, I wanted to write this song in hopes that someone going through a similar situation may find some peace and healing through music. Grieving memories that never existed and wondering what that child would have been like, what they would have become. Instead of growing older, they’ll be frozen in time, forever, my angel baby.”
The song will be available to download with a $5 donation to the Alana Rose Foundation through May 1st (Bereaved Mothers' Day).

My arms they ache to hold you
My heart can never know
Imagining what you would have been
And how you’d grow
Memories that never existed
I couldn’t have predicted
That your name would be written on my heart
Thinking about what you might have been
Thinking about what you could have been
All of these questions, wondering why
Forever you're frozen in my mind
My angel baby
You grew under my heart for such a little time
There you’ll be
When I think of you joy and sadness
Flow out of me
Sweet child sweet angel lovely
I am changed
You took a piece of me with you
Until we meet again
Thinking about what you might have been
Thinking about what you could have been
All of these questions, wondering why
Forever you're frozen in my mind
My angel baby
You left footprints on my heart and handprints on my soul
My little baby, my little love
You left footprints on my heart and handprints on my soul
My little baby, my little love
You’re my little love
Thinking about what you might have been
Thinking about what you could have been
All of these questions, wondering why
Forever you're frozen in my mind
Trapped in a moment for all time
My angel baby
My angel baby
