To My Baby

Sarah Schneider 1989

August 23 
Rhymed
To my baby that I never met
I just haven’t met you yet

I think about you everyday
I think, and cry
And think and pray

I picture you easily in my mind
Know that I’m not long behind

Missing you forever in this life
I’ll see you one day
When it’s time
Soon my baby,
my angel child
