my precious child

My precious child

There's not a day that passes,

That i do not sit and cry.

I look up to heaven,

But still i don't know why.

Couldn't he have waited,

Another year or two.

Til you were a little older,

And i had more time with you.

I sometimes hear your voice,

That darling little giggle.

And i still remember clearly,

Those first toe wiggles.

Your sister is still growing,

She looks so much like you.

I often sit and wonder,

How alike you would be too.

My arm has not forgotten,

The weight of you apon it.

My leg still remembers,

That's where you used to sit.

I still sing your song every night,

In hope you will appear.

Maybe you are coming through,

Just maybe its not clear.

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,

And you are sat right there.

I lean in to pull you close to me,

But then you disappear.

I don't know if you can visit,

I don't know if you can see,

But baby when i dream tonight,

I know that's where you'll be.
