A Touch of Irony

Through blurred, teary eyes I could barely see

your tiny little body when they brought you to me

I stared at your face and those big brown eyes

I smothered you with kisses as I quietly cried

I stole precious moments to breathe you in

Your vanilla musky scent was intoxicating

Your feather soft skin like heavenly clouds

We will meet again one day I silently vowed

I held your sweet little body so close to mine

My precious baby boy, it was almost time

We were sewn together as one never truly apart

Our souls intertwined sealed our two hearts

Only a few minutes left before they’d take you away

I will never, ever forget the moment, the day

when I gave you to others when you were born

My life forever broken; my heart forever torn

The irony is that this story’s not over

When you got older, you wanted some closure

You decided to meet me when you’d turn twenty-one

I couldn’t believe I’d meet my long-lost son

How sad life can be to some people sometimes

It just makes no sense with no reason or rhyme

With absolutely no warning, just out of the blue

Horrible, horrific things can happen to you

Just after your birthday while making you plans

You were driving to the store in the rain, in a van

Something happened and you lost all control

You were killed that day leaving a great big hole

A dreadful loss for them and for me

They lost a son while I would never meet

The tiny little baby that I held so tight

The day they brought you to me in the middle of the night
