Sweet baby boy

by orange_4_m - Sagittarius

I take you home,
Wrap you up in baby blue.
Sit down in the rocker
and sing a lullaby to you.

Finally you close your eyes,
and gently go to sleep.
Smiling I stand up,
And to your bassinet I creep.

I lay you down with amazement,
how can such beauty be contained in a child?
I kiss your rosey cheeks,
and listen to you sleep for a while.

But then I wake up,
my stomach flat and empty.
I creep quietly to your bassinet,
but no you do I see.

It's now that I remember,
you never made it home.
You never had the chance,
To have a life all of your own.

You were one of the innocent,
Taken all too soon.
But no matter how short our time was together,
Sweet baby boy, Ill ALWAYS love you.
