Our boy



I never met you
Heard your voice
Or seen your smile

I didn't know you,
I didn't know the life you were to lead
The choices you were to make
Or the man you were to become

Through my tears I say with joy
Your parents love you
Our almost baby boy

    It seemed to be written with great feeling. Word selection was very good and the length was perfect.
