Premature Tears

I’m crying because I can’t stop thinking, about the day that we’ll lose you too;

Since last year when we lost your Brother, that’s all I ever do!

And now you’ve reached the same age, as his unlucky one, year thirteen;

And I’m having horrid nightmares, about the future that I’ve seen!

In dreams that nightly haunt me, for in them I’m losing you;

And no matter how hard I try to stop it, there’s nothing that I can do!

I wake up in a cold sweat, and feel your warmth so near to me;

But I know that in the future, that’s not where you will be!

I try not to be negative, and enjoy your every day;

But then that empty feelings back, that soon, you’ll go away!

And the dams within my heart break, and bring my premature tears;

And nothing I can say or do alleviates my fears!

Your Mommy says don’t worry, your health is very good;

And the Doctor said you’re doing fine, and live many years you should!

So I’m begging Mr. Sandman, to bring me dreams, a different kind;

Then maybe I’ll no longer worry, and get this off my mind!
