For Ever a Child

You came in to this world... 
Bloody and wet 
A screwed up face 
Our eyes met 

Your birth... 
What I was waiting for... 
On this earth 

Your first smile 
Your first tooth 
I held you for a while 

The faltering steps you took 
The outside world 
Your garden 
A second look 

The child inside you 
Changing too 
Becoming an adult too 

You came into this world 
I smiled 
For a while I was with you 
Then it was gone 
You left... 
Making your way too 

You came in to this world 
You never left 
Where ever you are 
You are never far 
You are forever a child... 
In my heart
