While the trees sleep,
I lie awake. Eyes wide open.
My body is whole,
My soul is broken.

My precious son
that I prayed be born,
Is now gone;
I feel cheated…forlorn.

Good memories race through my mind;
His smile, his embrace;
He was so kind!
God took him away,
Was it really time?

He’s happy in heaven,
but I’m not fine.
Here on earth my heart still breaks
for my only son and his loving embrace.

God give me strength to live through this,
And for others who’ve lost children,
Please give them bliss.
No parent should have to endure this.
