MY CHILD BY: LAURA SMITH 

When I saw you in the ultrasound 

There you were in my womb. 

When the day came that you were born, 

There you were in the room. 

Love at first sight 

When I saw your precious tiny face. 

Yea that’s right, 

Perfect little face, perfect little nose, 

Tiny little feet, tiny little toes. 

I never knew what love was 

Till the day I had you. 

You are and always will be my perfect angel. 

I never knew pain and heartbreak 

Till they took you away, 

I’ll never even get over that horrible day 

My heart was ripped out of my chest, 

I still have nightmares.  

Hardly able to rest. 

Now there’s a huge hole where my heart used to be. 

My tears are blinding 

Making it harder to see. 

I never know pain 

Till that cold dreadful day, 

The boogeyman is real 

He took you away. 

My life fell apart  

As my judgment was off 

It didn’t bother them a bit 

Afterward drank beer 

And then they played golf 

To them you’re a number 

A paycheck in their pocket 

To me you are everything 

Not just a name on the docket 

Pleased know just because you can’t see me 

Doesn’t mean I’m not here 

Hopefully the day we are together again 

Is drawing near 

I’ll never be right 

Till you come home 

I’ll always be more than a friend or a brother, 

I am the one and only 

Your heartbroken Mother 

Dedicated to Jacob, Joseph, Haylee, and Emmalee Smith 

My beautiful and beloved children.
