To My Little Boy Blue

Oh my little boy blue
How I do so miss you
You came to me out of mess and misery
I held you and loved you
Kept you for all the world to see
It wasn't a chore
My love for you grew more and more
We shared this home
You filled it with glee
You made me forget my own misery
The years went quickly
And never thinking
In such a short time
You would be leaving me
In your last hour
You gave me a gift
You went to places to remember the times
That were spent
I cradled you and cried
I sang you soothing songs
Then in a quick instant
The little life in you was gone
Saying goodbye to my dear sweet friend
I'll have you to remember till my time
Here does end
