Little ones

Little hands, little feet

Little people we’ll never have the chance to meet

Kind smiles, kind tugs

We’re counted out from a lifetime of hugs

Never were, never will

The futures we hoped for forever frozen still

Ever mourning, ever enduring

While the dreams for you start slowly obscuring

Silently watching, silently aching

For what comes next to lull this heart’s breaking

Little dark, little night

Laying down those faces that’ll never see the light
