Crying for pain of ego
Running through life
Blinders on forgetting precious gift given
Screeching screaming to a halt
With only silence echoing in the wind
One life gone another hanging by a thread
In one instant mortality grips the heart
Where is my child? Do they know I love them?
After the code given and sprinting to the phone
Trembling fingers fumbling to find speed dial
Each pause between rings an eternity of silence
Till the small voice answers....Hello?
Laughing at the silliness my crackling voice
Just calling to tell you I love you...
Such a simple thing to say
Yet one that every parent does not get to say
One child is now one parent less
So never take your life for granted
It is a precious gift received
In our race to grow up we sometimes forget
The precious little things that mean so dear
Always take the time to remind
Those who are loved know they are
With unconditional joy in your heart
And say a prayer for the little one
Whose life is hanging by a thread
Now one parent less
