Dear Son,
it's been a while since you left
I didn't even get a chance to hold you in my arms
You didn't give me a chance to say hello
To atleast hear your first cry
To atleast welcome you to the world
You came ready to leave
You didn't experience the air we breathe
You didn't get a chance to see the outside
You only went with the memories of my womb
You never fed on your own
Feel the sun on your tender skin
Nor Hear the noise in the neighborhood.
Dear Son,
You crossed the bridge to soon
Weren't you eager to meet your Fam?
To know your Mom and Dad?
To know whether you had other siblings.
We were all waiting for your arrival
Your aunts and grandma ready to ululate
But it's all good, it's God's will.
You know what,
I still look forward to being with you one day
I don't know whether I'll recognize you,
But I can't wait to hold you in my arms
See your tiny fingers wrapped around mine
See your eyes squint to the unusual brightness
See you playfully throwing your arms and feet.
I wish we had even a day together
Just to tell you how much I love you
Show you how much you meant to us.
If only God gives reasons as to why things happen the way they do,
Then I'd have asked Him why he took you so soon
Before the world changed your innocence
But maybe I'll ask Him in the next life
with you by my side
Every day I look to the sky and hope you're doing the same
Looking down,watching me wave at you
Before I cross the bridge and come be with you
I promise to never leave your side
I'll try compensate for all the years lost
Hang in there buddy,
I am almost home.
