Tender wounds on soulless spirit
Constant bruising day after day
Watching babies in pushchairs
Smile that special smile
Gazing lovingly at their mothers
Knowing I will never see
That unconditional love from another
Never feel that special bond
Seven year olds asking questions
Answered sensibly by their dads
Total trust in their own oracle
Never questioning the answers given
No child will have such confidence in me
No one to pass my knowledge on to
Month after month hoping without hope
Praying, making bargains with God
Agreeing the impossible, if only...
If only you would let this happen
It's only a tiny request
What difference would it make to you
Please let this be
Let this wish come true
If only...
And with the passing of time
My wounds won't heal
My ridiculous hope keeps tearing at the scars
And so fresh they remain
With my constant refrain
If only...
