BABE

Softly whispered is your name
Stroked gently is your cheek
So closely held in arms of love
Lost deeply in your sleep
Stone cold babe
Wished not to stay
You arrive and leave
In the dawn of a day
Sweetness child
Too light for life
Leave on the breath
Of your mother's cry
And as you depart
A flutterbye touch
A gift to the mam
Who grieves so much
Just the softest kiss
In the break of night
​She knows your love
As you take flight
Pure one
Little one
Loved one
Lost one
