Song bird sing your song of love

The sweetest of sounds sent from above

Drifting away so pleasantly

To the rhythm of the heartfelt
melody

How I love to hear each note

Soulful melodies that make me
float

Forever I would gladly listen

To the tune that you have
given

There once was a mouse

Who lived in our house

You'd often him hear him sing

Until the cat did gobble him
just a bit a fun haha

I made a mistake
I was not yours to take
I was stupidly unaware
I should not have been there
I was foolish and naive
I should have made to leave
I was crazy to stay
Why could I not gather the strength to push you away

Scared. But silent were my screams
And now you haunt all my dreams

Goodbye my little boy
I never had chance to buy you a toy

I never got to see your smile
Or in a trolley push you down the aisle

I waited for you so long
But before you even got here you were gone

A Mum and Dad bereft
A tiny body was all that was left

Sadness filled all around
As we lay you in the ground

Your older brother in blue
Missing someone he never knew

No comfort to be sought
No memories to bring a happy thought

After all these years
The thought of you still brings tears

You were the one that got away
And in heaven above is where you stay

Until we meet again my son
Stay safe my Callam my littlun

Life spins out of control
Will I ever feel truly whole
Up, down and round and round
Will my feet ever touch the ground

You have stepped on me and over me
A never ending struggle to be free
I have been mentally battered
Lying broken, completely shattered

I tried hard leave, to escape
The chains so heavy they scrape
Entangled in a web of deceit
Do I give in to defeat

You were soft and loving, eyes full of remorse
You broke down my defences with so little force

After years of loving, I had closed the door
I wanted to believe, but didn't want to hurt anymore

My hands gripped so hard, my tears did flow
Scared of being hurt but not wanting to let go

You whispered so gently "don't cry, I love you"
For the sake of my heart, please let your words be true
Love, sometimes its hard
And sometimes it hurts.
But it is, almost, always worth it

If only for today

I'd love to hear you say

The words that mean so much

Loving ones that touch

My soul aches to hear spoken words so true

Please let the words come through
