I went to the Doctors,” Pregnant” he said
“Are you keeping the baby?” No doubts in my head
I wanted my baby, “but you’re only sixteen”
I told both my parents, they weren’t all that keen
It was really amazing, feeling you grow
You kicking inside me, the towing and fro
The labour was early, the baby was fine
I’d watch you for hours, couldn’t believe you were mine
The perfect baby, you’d feed and you’d sleep
For hours and hours with never a peep
Your smile was contagious, and a smell of your own
Your laugh was infectious; I was proud how you’d grown
One day you were sleeping, and got stolen you away
I tried to revive you, “come on son please stay”
I’m sorry I failed you, I couldn’t I tried
I did all I could, not enough though, you died.
My Little boy, what can I say?
I’m incomplete, since you went away.
I miss your smile, your laugh, your smell.
I hope someday, to get to know you well.
