Dear Mom it's me-I just wanted to say hi
I'm really sad our entire relationship was based on a goodbye.
It's okay though Mommy, I guess I have to understand
I heard you say over and over, I was just not what you had planned.

Although it really breaks my heart I never got to held by you,
To be tucked in your arms nice and snug, just to know you love me too.
I didn’t even get the chance to see you smile, or for you to meet my eyes
And you'll never get to hear the way I sounded when I cried.
You never got to see my tiny fingers or my long toes
And you never got the chance to meet this crinkly wrinkle on my nose.

I wished I could have rubbed my soft little fingers across your cheek,
Or that you could’ve been there for me when I was sick, when I was weak.
But don’t worry I'm okay now mommy, its like I'm all brand new.
I just wanted to remind you of how much I love you.

Hey Mom it’s me- I just wanted to check in.
I know I never grew enough to have any skin
But just to let you know, I have a soul and heart,
And I really wish you hadn’t chosen for us to be apart.

Six years have gone by now, time has gone by pretty fast
But I hope the memory you have of me in your heart will forever last.
I see that I have brand-new little brother, you chose to call him Lee
And it made me wonder Mommy, what would you have named me?
Tell my little brother that I love and him and that I wish I could give him a kiss
And that I'm sorry growing up together is something we will have to miss.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you that my favorite color is red,
And I have exactly 3 freckles I counted on my forehead.
My favorite thing to do is play dress up and run around,
Also, I always like to pick flowers, you have a big collection from what I've found.

I think you would have thought I was the world's greatest dancer
Oh and I have one best friend, when she was two she was diagnosed with cancer.
So last year she moved up here to permanently stay
I hope you'll be able to meet us both one day.
That’s all I wanted, just to tell you about me,
If we were together you would have loved me, I guarantee.

Goodbye for now mommy, tell Lee I said bye too.
And don’t forget, I will always love you.
