Unknown By a Crying Soul
Little fingers, little toes
Little tiny button nose
Your body and mine will never touch
Upon this earth I miss you much
I’ll never smell your little head
I’ll never tuck you in your bed
I’ll never nurse you at my breast
Never dress you in your Sunday best
You’ll never see the light of day
You’ll never walk or run or play
To hold you now is my true wish
To press our lips into a kiss
To gaze into each other’s eyes
What color they are remain a surprise
First day of school will never be
You’ll never get to climb a tree
No first job and no first pay
No kiss, no date, no wedding day
All of this you’ve been denied
I can’t go back oh how I’ve tried
Little baby that I never knew
My heart stays broken longing for you
