![]() Counting TimeA Poem by A.Lee![]() for my beautiful little boy...![]() One thousand nine hundred forty-nine minutes Since the moment you left my side I’ve counted a hundred different ways And still the pain will not subside
It seems that years and years have passed And like time hasn’t moved at all Like I could open up my eyes To see you running down the hall
Your smiling face, your arms outstretched And I’d feel that excited rush As you ask for just one more “Hug, kiss, cheek, and nose, and touch”
One thousand nine hundred fifty eight minutes And I could count a million more Still I’d feel your child-like love Just like I always did before
And every morning I wake up Mommy fights the tears again As I remember that you’re not here And I try so hard to hold them in
I never got to say good-bye And it just still seems so unreal For you to disappear that way And leave us here alone to feel
One thousand nine hundred sixty-six minutes Since the moment you left my side And all I can say is “Baby, I love you. And I wish you had not died.” © 2011 A.LeeAuthor's Note
