Through A Mother’s Eyes
She gazes at him
Her beautiful baby boy
Too pure for the world
A beaming toddler
Happy, bright and curious
Mother's pride and joy
He tries to make friends
But they say "he's too different"
Her heart breaks for him
In with the wrong crowd
She watches him from afar
Scared for her baby
Silently she cries,
Eyes locked on the gray headstone
Three words: Gone too soon
