Carly B (baby Carl)

You were the one thing in my life consistent and true 
I loved you like a little brother it gives me peace that you knew 

You were always laughing and smiling even through the pain
How I wish I could see you even just once again

You taught me what it meant to fight 
But each day you were drifting towards your final night 

We would laugh and we would play
I would sit at your bedside each and every day

I would push you around when you were to tired to walk
We sat together we didn't have to talk

You were only five when death took you without a trace
You last words I see them daddy and they took you to your final resting place

The night that you left I was not there 
Was this a trick by life this does not feel fair 

Was it that you knew I could not take the pain
And if I saw you go I would never be same 

I am riddled with guilt I was not there on that night
I would not of been disappointed you put up a good fight

But cancer is a disease that rarely does lose 
It's something we want is not something we choose

I could not bring myself to say goodbye
I felt emotionless I could not even cry

I was only 16 when I watched you fade away
But I know deep down I will see you again some day

In memory of Carly B (baby Carl)
