Child of my flesh, spark in my eye
Your soul-fired-fluttered then died
Though eternal your soul, flesh you shall not be,
As your struggle for life failed within me.
To see you smile
The sun on your face
I would have given my life,
To have taken your place.
Was it decreed by God?
This sentence of ours
To never be paired
As mother and child.
The parties, the schooling
Never to be
The graduations, the laughter
That we will never see
The nine months we had together
Were precious beyond belief
How could the time spent waiting?
Have brought so much grief?
Divided in body,
But never the soul
For they yearn for each other,
To touch and to hold.
One day my darling angel,
In heaven you and me,
We will fly back to earth,
And spend the time that was meant to be.
