The Unborn Child

Where is my darling 
I never got to see
Was it a boy or a girl
Did he/she look like dad or me

I know my baby
If living today
Would be fourteen years old
And having a birthday

This little blessing
Would have made our family of nine
I truly wish every day
I could turn back time

Dad is gone also
I have a memory of the two
If the child was born
I'd still be with you
