Night Unfair (June 7,2012)

Silent night be kind to me, my heart is aching so,
I want to hold the baby that I barely got to know,
I long to hear those whimpered cries, begging to be fed,
It isn't fair his heartbeat's gone, it isn't fair he's dead,
Shining stars of night times light, show me he is safe,
So maybe my heart won't ache so bad and I can have some faith,
I wonder what he looks like, are his eyes as dark as mine,
Would he be like Daddy and his smile always shine,
Quite moon reflect a face to look like my sweet son,
When will I meet him, when will my life be done,
I wish, if for a moment, I could see the boy he'd be,
Instead I'm left to dream, imagine but never see,
A mother left with empty arms, my work was all for nothing,
An angel I did bear, so I guess that counts for something,
Were my dreams not good enough, were my hopes to high,
Why would you keep me from him, and leave us here to cry,
My firstborn you took away, a baby stolen in the night,
My pride and joy, my saving grace, my shining star that was so bright,
What made him unfit to see the world, why me, it isn't fair,
No baby for my gentle hands to care.
