My Little Boy

The only thing I have of you,

Is tiny footprints on a page,

The only proof that you were here,

The little blanket I had made.

They couldn't find your heartbeat,

They tried again, and again...

All that was heard was awful silence,

Where your heartbeat should have been.

I never felt you move,

I never heard you cry,

But I did hold you in my arms,

Said, "I love you," said, "Goodbye."

You'll never have a birthday,

Nor any Christmas toys,

And there will always be one missing,

My precious little boy.
