he breathed and he cried
he slept and he watched
he ate and he threw up on himself
he was bathed and had his diaper changed
A baby went home today
he ate from his mommy and was fed by his daddy
he bonded with his brothers and met new people
he slept and he played in his own little way
A baby has died today
let his mommy and daddy grieve
understand when his brothers don’t
lend a shoulder as well as your strength
A baby died yesterday
doesn’t mean the pain is gone
mommy and daddy still grieve
his brothers still don’t understand
the strength you offer is still in need
