My Precious One
Curled up in my arms,
You're so small,
So precious,
So vulnerable,
So right.
I would die for you.
I would live for you.
I would go to the ends,
Of the earth for you.
You were made for me,
And I for you.
To bring out the best,
To see the world anew.
To fly like the birds,
To swim like the fish.
To run like the wind,
To smile like the sun.
Who cares who stares,
Or thinks we're queer.
They don't know you.
They don't know me.
Your smile makes me smile,
Your laugh makes me laugh.
Always happy,
Consumed by bliss.
You were made for me,
And I for you.
To bring out the best,
To see the world anew.
To fly like the birds,
To swim like the fish.
To run like the wind,
To smile like the sun.
Then sickness comes,
Your skin goes grey.
Your mouth doesn't smile,
Your eyes spill tears.
Tubes and wires,
Come out from you.
So weak, so frail,
So vulnerable,
So precious.
You were made for me,
And I for you.
To bring out the best,
To see the world anew.
To fly like the birds,
To swim like the fish.
To run like the wind,
To smile like the sun.
It's over too early.
It happened too fast.
You were so young.
So innocent.
Now you're gone.
I am alone.
My precious child,
May the heavens be good to you.
You were made for me,
And I for you.
To bring out the best,
To see the world anew.
To fly like the birds,
To swim like the fish.
To run like the wind,
To smile like the sun.
To fly like the birds,
To swim like the fish.
To run like the wind,
To smile like the sun.
To run like the wind,
To smile like the sun.
To smile like the sun,
My precious one.
