Child...
So small
Perfect little thing
Beautiful and soft; so pretty
Touching you is like touching a rose
Your skin so tender
Your little smile so bright
Keeping you warm and feeding you
Everything wells inside of me
Threatening to spill love
Overpowering
Then you were gone
The treachery of it all destroying
Tearing the security away
Your little cry gone and never to return
My ears haunted by the echo
Each small tear you cried
I long to touch on my fingertips
To feel your sadness
You left me
And I'm alone now
I want you back so badly
To hold you and rock you to feel your warm baby breath
Lay next to me my hand on your tiny chest
Each heartbeat tapped into my palm
They took you away
Hidden forever
Not allowed to know you
Nor you me
I pray to God one day a small me will be
Live my baby and remember the smell of me
Remember my lips on your soft little head
The blood in your veins mine always
No matter what they do
They can never take you away from me
You're in my heart
Burned into my soul
Forever
Dedicated to the nameless beauty of Ellen's child
