You are tugging at my heart strings
Oh little one
Today you called me mummy
But I am not your mum
You came and took a hold of my hand
And made me weak inside for that which may not be mine
You look at me all scared of the world
I wish I could make it all right in your world
The hours tick down and then we must part
But I will always keep you
Safe in my heart
I do not want to see you hurt
Or to hear you cry
The saddest thing for now I know
Is when we say goodbye
There is much for you to learn
And much for me to share
Someday when even I am gone
I hope you know I care
Little one in a world so bad
I look at you and I feel sad
That there are things you would never know
Unless I tell you while I'm below
You look at me
I hold your hand time slips away
Like grains of sand
You are getting bigger now
And the time is coming for me to go.
May the supreme creator look after always
Be happy, keep safe for the rest of your days.
