For all the smiles I’ll never see
For all the places you will not be
For all the ‘boo boos’ I can not kiss
For all the birthday’s I will miss
For all the booties you’ll never wear
For all the giggles I’ll never hear
For all the words you’ll never say
For all the games you’ll never play
For all the steps you’ll never take
For all the nights you’re not awake
For all the balls you’ll never throw
For all the years you’ll never know
For all the cuddles never shared
For you, my angel, I have cared.
