My Little One

An Irish ballad of bereavement.


 

Where have you gone
my little one, my only one
I miss you dearly
and I feel so alone


I watched you grow
my little one, my only one
Looked through your eyes
as your world did unfold


Through laughter and tears
O'er what seems so few years
All of the joy that we shared
As a babe I did hold you
In safe warm loving arms
Now the memories
are all I hold dear


If you can hear me
My little one, My only one
Know that I love you
with all of my heart


And someday I’ll join you
For a run through the clouds
Over heaven's green grass
On a warm summer day
We’ll make up for the time
That was torn from our lives
Oh how I long to see you again

Dear Ed,

This poem tugs at the heartstrings of anyone who has ever been blessed with a child. Rest assured that, one day, your souls will meet again in a dance of celebration.

Love & Light,
Joseph

I listened as you composed this moving ballad and got choked up when you sang it accompanied by your guitar. I think that the mark of your creative genius is your ability to immerse yourself in character and be able to write so convincingly. I know that you were able to tap into your own experience to draw this poignant song from your soul. How could anyone read this and not shed a tear?
Love Chanti... aka your Snuggles
