So Long

So long I waited
To hold you in my arms
But 40 weeks I had to wait
For that precious moment.

Soon a bump
Yes that was you
My precious little one
My love for you was true

Over time i felt you move
And you would play your silly little game,
Now it was time for me to pick
An appropriate name.

But what were you a boy or girl Only one way to be sure
But as fate decided it was not to be
As God needed you more.

At 6 months you arrived
Way to early they say,
Unfortunately for me nothing
Could have saved you that day.

And so today I sit here
Praying to God above
That although you are not with me
You know of my endless love.
