*Never to Have Known You*

Never to have known you, but to have loved you
Never to have held you, the way mothers do.
With you I bury my hopes and dreams
For an unknown child I'd never seen.
But also I bury the love in my heart
And the sadness of knowing we must part.
And I pray to God to do for you
All the things that I would like to do.
And to keep my baby safe from harm
To laugh and frolic in springtime's arms.
