Child In My Arms

thousands of words, none complete
a single syllable is all i need
waiting for him, in this lonely day
i sit, gazing quietly at the sea

a lonely soul, i could never give
as much love that you desired
i was alone before, not anymore
our love is all we have to give

your love and mine, is real
this baby, its extension
how could you not see, what i saw
yourself moulded in him?

big brown eyes, goofy smile
energy of the sun, voice of the chimes
he sat beside me, held my hand,
i broke, when he called out 'mamma'

i took him in my arms, saw in his eyes
love equal, that you have for me
never in my life, i was so blessed
to have something twice over

his eyes mirrored, what i already knew
i was a woman now, not a girl anymore
i choked with tears with his first words
'papa' he called out, lost as i was before

didn't u want to be around, to see him
to hold him, and watch him grow?
your own flesh and blood, he was
why didnt you heart break when he left?

never forgotten, throughout lifetime
a dream he was, a frightening reality
will he return i wonder, to save us
and complete our incomplete family?
