Rock a bye
baby
I'm holding you for the very first time
Unfortunately it will be the last
Unforeseen circumstances
Of the worst kind
So much hope
So many dreams
Its almost as if
You were already here
I had dreamed of watching
You grow up
Watching you grow big
But that will never come to be
A life in a womb
You had seven months
Did you hear my words
Or hear my songs
I would listen to your heart
Beating like a drum
I couldn't wait
For the day you'd come
I was so proud of you
Before you were born
And now that you have
I am in pieces all torn
Never did I think
That this was even possible
Took for granted
That you'd be incredible
So here we are as I rock you
For the first and last time
Overwhelming emotions
As I look at you crying
Little did I know
The day you were born
Would be the day you were dying
