Born asleep, never to dream Never to laugh or love or scream Never to see the stars at night Never to see the sun so bright. I watched in case you took a breath, I Held my own in case that helped It didn’t though, you stayed asleep In my arms with no heartbeat. I held you close to keep you warm So did Daddy, our hearts were torn I can’t believe it’s almost a year, Since that sunny day last May We’ve planted a tree now, It’s for you and Simon Where we can go and meditate I’ll watch it grow and think of you My pretty flower that couldn’t bloom I miss you now, as I did then I think about what could have been Would you be walking, talking or crawling? Would you like apples grapes or pears? All my questions are left unanswered, I’ll have to imagine what you would like Just now you have granny, granddad and Simon They’ll look after you till we meet again. I Love you my darling, Now and forever, Although you’re gone, you’re not forgotten. I’ll tell Nathan he had a wee sister, An angel called Eve, who’s in heaven now
