Dear God How I Miss my Darling Baby Boy

I was holding you one minute, feeling your breath on my face,

watching you smile and grow; how my heart would race.

Your eyes were bright, your laughter a joy,

Dear God how I miss my darling baby boy.

The next time I held you I felt your breath no more,

My heart stopped racing and left me sore.

Your eyes had no shine, your smile removed,

Pink, turned gray, was the skin I once soothed.

The energy and spirit that once made you, you, had vanished....

Time had stood still a face so precious and new.

Sometimes I awake and how my arms still ache,

To quiet your cries, and wipe the tears from your eyes.

To hold you close and never let you go,

To dream of the future and watch you grow.

But, something happened which can't be explained,

My arms are empty, my heart in pain.

All's I have left is just your small toy,

Dear God how I miss my darling baby boy...
