September Song

June 20th at the time not a significant date
In our lives you arrived without warning
We made you a bed & fed you a meal
Sadness in your eyes covered by fear

Things your tender age shouldn’t have known
What tales could you tell, things you have done
Days led to weeks, weeks into months
Upon our sole you imprinted your love

October First was a tragically sad date
We didn’t want you to leave this place
The cries in the night have made us all hoarse
They came to take you we had no voice
