When people told me about it, I thought they’d gone insane,
They said that I should do it, to free you of your pain.

I wished god would take away, my baby in his sleep,
And save my darling from any more of unease.

But day by day my sweetheart, your condition worsened,
It made me feel so feeble and utterly disheartened.

I made my heart so tough and mustered so much courage,
To relieve you of your agony, to free from the earth’s voyage.

And when the time came to liberate you from this life
I still recollect the twinge I felt inside.

I can’t explain you the ache I endured,
To hear you being infused was the most traumatic trial I was put through

I begged and pleaded lord to ‘let go’ you for me,
And leave you on this earth as much as I can be.

But lord has his own plans which humans can’t dictate,
He took you away from me and left me to my fate.

Now here I am my angel, shedding tears all the time..
But one hope keeps me going, that one day; you’ll once again be mine!!!
