I'm sorry I'll never be there to wipe your tears,

Hug you, vanquish your fears.

I'm sorry I'll never heal your wounds or see you grow,

Meet your friends, hate your foes.

I'm sorry I'll never hear your secrets or share my own,

I'm so sorry I left you all alone.

But please know I'll always love you,

I'll be proud of whatever you do,

I'll be there, watching, guiding you through.

My baby, my little boy,

You have given me so much life, so much joy.

I didn't get to see your first day at school,

Embarrass you by beginning to cry,

Laugh at you jokes or even get to say goodbye…

But know I was always with you, every minute, every hour,

Holding you hand, soothing you when you were sour.

Know I was with you and always will be, forever, right until the end,

Until we're reunited once again.

Lily's one regret... Never being there for her son, never being the mother she wished to be for him. Let me know what you think! And thank you for reading!
