My little one, so little time we had.
Fleeting moments, once here, now past.
My little one, I miss you so much,
Fleeting moments that I never had.

I never got to feel you kick
Deep within my womb.
I never got to hear you cry,
You left this world too soon.

I never got to hold your hand
As you began to walk.
I never got to hear your words
As you began to talk.

I never got to see your eyes
Light up in suprise
As you discovered each new thing;
The world to realize.

I never got to pack a lunch
On your first day of school.
I never got to scold you
When you slipped and broke the rules.

I never got to buy a tux
For you to go to prom.
I never got to meet the girl
Who would be on your arm.

I never got to rub your back
To mend a broken heart.
I never got to celebrate
With you a brand new start.

I never got to wave goodbye
As you set off in your life.
I never got to hug the woman
Who would become your wife.

I never got to hold your son
The day that he was born
Because, little one, it's still your death
That I have got to mourn.

Baby boy, I love you so much,
But this is what I know:
I never got to say goodbye
Because I couldn't say hello.
