He came crawling
Into our life one day.
He saw us and smiled,
Conquering our hearts.
Then his fragile frame
With needles pricked, lay,
Lifeless on the bed,
In agony we cried.
Gone was he soon far away
Leaving a void, huge and wide,
That soon a pretty angel,
Filled with her charm.
Her giggles and smiles
Applied balm to our pain.
But in our heart,
He would always remain.
