Child So Sweet

"You're gone before we even met
No chance to hold you, to kiss you
Or get your room all set.
We wondered who you might be.
Your eyes, your nose,
Your personality.
Called home before your journey even started.
We can only wonder,
And be brokenhearted.
You changed those lives you briefly touched.
We only wish that your time,
It wasn't so horribly rushed.
So many waited simply to greet you.
Look into your eyes, smile and meet you.
Hearts broken and dreams all shattered
We cling to the hopes and the love that mattered.
You'll always be remembered,
Never lost nor forgotten.
This is a promise from our broken hearts' bottom.
Until the day we finally meet,
Know that you are loved and missed,
Child so sweet!"
