A little life
so small
so fragile
gone
lost
left behind
never growing up
never being married
never going through the ups
or downs of life
never saw the real world
just a hospital bed
never saw the good things
just the hospital walls
month after month
he struggled to live
getting better
then worse
then dead
i never got to talk to him
to say to him i loved him
he never got to be welcomed
into our family's arms
we just got to look at him
through those glass walls
watching him
this poor child
praying he'll be alright
hoping he would
i guess god didn't listen this time
had his back turned
or maybe there is no god
just fate to take, and chance to kill
for chance made him
chance killed him
fate brought him to us
fate took him away
what a horrible game this is to play
life so precious
yet taken for granted
then you see them die
leave this place
never returning
never finishing their life
what a poor child
lived less then a year
left us
imprinted our minds
our souls
with his presence
in such a short time
he made himself know en to us all
without a word
he gave us hope
courage
his fragile body
lying there
so small
so helpless
so still
i loved him like i knew him
i felt him in my heart
and now he's gone
and i watch the consequences of his death
why did he leave?
i wish he could have stayed
but
fate
and
chance
are horrible things
that pull love away
