Danny Boy

My grandson, I have yet to meet That matters not to me. For, even though I've seen you not My mind and heart can see. I wonder if your like your mom? Do you now have blonde hair? Or are you like your uncle? Once had hair, now none is there? I wonder if you softly cry Or belt cries from your lungs? Do you like hearing lullabies? Just like your mom was sung? I wonder if your smiling back At faces, now you see Though, sadly, I will never know Together, we won't be. I dream of you, and your sweet face In dreams, I watch you sleep. And, in those precious dreams I have Are thoughts I'll always keep. So, though you know me not at all Perhaps, one day we'll know But, meanwhile in my heart you'll stay And, I won't let you go.
