Some Stillborn Child

Some Stillborn Child

Always seemed to be so sad
About  someone I never had
Before and not here anymore;
Now can't open or shut a door.

Where could my child have gone;
Why did God bring this upon?
Me and would have to suffer so;
Not see a face that likes to glow.

Child once had been a part of me;
Soul floating in air finally free;
Will miss him or her very much;
Only for second I wanted to touch.

No! Child forever is incomplete,
From head's top to bottom of feet;
Outside day's weather is kind of fair;
Child's in heaven now high up there.

Could that be a boyfriend instead
He was in an accident and is dead,
To forget there is never any way
Another prayer for him started to say.
