Small Bump

You’re just a small bump unborn
in 4 months you’re brought to life.
You might be left with my hair
but you’ll have your mother’s eyes. Hold your body in my hands
be as gentle as I can
now you’re a scan of my unmade plan.
A small bump
in 4 months you’re brought to life.

I’ll whisper quitely
I’ll give you nothing but truth.
If you’re not inside me
I’ll put my future in you.

Cos you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
and hold me tight.
Cos you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
and hold me tight.
You will be alright.

You’re just a small bump unknown
and you’ll grow into your skin.
With a smile like hers
and a dimple beneath your chin.
Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice.
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide.
A small bump
in 4 months you will open your eyes.

I’ll hold you tightly
I’ll tell you nothing but truth.
If you’re not inside me
I’ll put my future in you.

Cos you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
and hold me tight.
Oh, you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
and hold me tight.
You will be alright.

You can lie with me,
with your tiny feet
when you’re half asleep,
I will leave you be.
Right in front of me
for a couple weeks.
So I can keep you safe.

Cos you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
and hold me tight.
Cos’ you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
and hold me tight, you’ll be alright

You’re just a small bump unborn
just four months then torn from life. Maybe your needed up there
but we’re still unaware as why.
