Apple Of Our Eye Poem by Timothy David

I woke up one morning
And the sun was rising high
But there was still a shining star
High up in the sky
And you looked so beautiful
The way you shone so bright
But just like that you shot away
Then you were out of sight
And long have been the years
That I've waited for you
It broke my heart to see you go
Our three had turned to two
You took a piece of me
With you when you left
And I felt a pain of a thousand years
Though we had never met
I still picture your sweet face
Smiling down on us
Saying in your sweet voice
'Ill be back but there's no rush'
And I'll miss you until that time
That you come back to stay
And our lives will be as one
Together all the way
I hope you know we loved you
Though you were never born
And I hope you felt your mothers love
Keeping you so warm
when you come back down the line
You can finally get a name
Your laughter and smile will tell us
That you loved us just the same
I know that you'll come flying back
Into our lives someday
And I know we will be ready
When you come back our way
We'll try not to be very sad
And we'll try not to cry
We can not wait to meet you
Sweet apple of our eye
