Death Of A Child

Death of A Child

The cries that echo in the house
the laughs, the silly screams,
the whimiscal burst from fresh lungs
gone

taken too soon, my son
the deepest and most special piece
of your mother and father
a peace broken and gone

How come?
Who took him?
Why?
When will I see him again?

Just a baby
an innocent soul
taken from the arms of mom
and the shoulder of dad; gone

how could our God
treat us this way
and take our only son
away? He's gone

The pain, I would
never wish upon my worst enemy
a pain worse than death
an infant lost, gone

and worse than cries
and sleepless nights
is the silence, the silent tears, never
gone
