In the silent street,so cold and dark
I hold him close,wrapped up tightly..
Bare branches of naked trees so stark
against the sky, the stars glittering brightly..
I know they will raise him, teach him well.
They have the money , the means, the love,
that much my frozen heart can tell..
They believe my little son come from above..
My arms are empty,the car is moving now..
My face is wet, my body contracting with grief..
I have to go on, cope with loss somehow..
Our time together so wonderful, but so brief!

I watch the car until red taillights go around the corner..
I shall always remember, they turned me into a numb mourner..
