Things should have been so different.
This wasn’t meant to be.
You’re my longed for, cherished baby Son,
and you should be here with me.

You were all i’d ever wanted.
You made the world make sense.
But now you’re gone, and for losing you,
there is no recompense.

I’ll always be your Mummy.
You’ll always be my Son.
But I’m only left to wonder on,
the things we would have done.

I wanted to raise and care for you,
do things to make you proud.
I’ll live my life in honour of you,
My baby, that I’ve vowed.

Our pregnancy was wonderful,
right up until the end.
I know I’ve lost my heart to you,
and it will never, truly mend.

Your little heart stopped beating.
Your smile, i’ll never know.
Because we were forced to say goodbye,
before we’d even said hello.

When you were born so silently,
I longed to hear you cry,
To see your eyes, to wake you up.
You weren’t supposed to die.

Death, it sounds so final,
and your death filled me with fear.
I couldn’t bear to have to
live my life without you near.

But finally I’ve realised,
that we’ll never be apart.
You took a piece of me with you,
and left your footprints on my heart
