Born into innocence

Born into innocence

Never to be

Fingers stolen from touch

Eyes sightless to see

A childhood forsaken

Before it's begun

Never wondering daybreak

Never basking in sun

A laugh that's been silenced

A voice, never to hear

A void spilling over

With torment and tear

Never to contemplate

Never to sigh

An embittered welcome

An eternal goodbye

Not knowing your views

On this world

That you've left

No, living within it

All reason bereft

Deprived of a birthday

And Christmases too

A longed for embrace

A symbol of you

A memory to treasure

Quelling, anger and pain

To watch you climb trees

Dance in puddles

Feel rain

To marvel a smile

As it lights up your face

To console and protect you

A lasting embrace

All these things that I wish for

Will never become

But, when my life's over

When destinies done

We'll, have forever

To share, you and I

No longer divided

By deaths cruel goodbye
