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


— The End —
