A meant to be Mum

"Was I a baby in your tum?"
You're question sinks in and I start to feel numb

What do I say to my sweet little boy?
Who's smile fills my heart with unending joy

I'm holding my belly where your new brother grows
I can't  find any words and my panic it shows

You reach for my hand and I hold it so tight
 I try to say something but nothing feels right

You were only a baby a small boy aged two when you stole my whole heart without meaning to do

Your mother had sent you for a visit one day
It's now been  three years since she walked away

I look at you softly as tears fill my eyes
I must tell you the truth without any lies

"You were a baby from another mum's tum...you were her baby but your  still my son"

We sit down slowly and you climb on my knee your little hands rest gently
on your brother to be

We both remain silent and it's as if we both know
that  this moment is precious and we don't let it go
