A precious baby

I saw a little boy
Just the other day
His head was bald
And his eyes were grey

He could have been six
Maybe even closer to seven
But I knew in my heart
He would never see eleven

He looked so happy
But deep inside I knew he was sad
This poor little boy was suffering
And it makes me so mad

In a white hospital gown
He was so fragile and small
He looked like an angel
That God would soon call

His mother was sad
Tears stained on her face
Made my heart fall to pieces
Thinking of the nights she must pace

Wondering when her child
So young and brave
Would be taken to heaven
One last hug she must crave

Knowing each kiss she gave him
Might be her last
Hoping when it was time no pain would come
It would be sudden and fast

I could feel in my heart
A pain hard and deep
Each time I stole a glance
I was afraid I would weep

A beautiful head of blond curly hair
And eyes deep and blue
A child made by God
And a mother that deeply loves you

I can only imagine
The pain she must feel
And after this precious baby is gone
Dear God please help her heal
