Little One I Never Held
 
Oh, little one I never held,
I knew you, still, somehow;
the battle that you fought so long
still hurts me even now.
 
I hope you felt the special hugs
I often sent your way,
I hope you knew how much I prayed
your little soul could stay.
 
I know that you will have it there;
the love you knew at home,
for at the Special Rainbow Bridge
you'll never be alone.
 
I hope that you find Little Fang,
and all your other friends,
and learn the meaning of it all;
...that love just never ends.
 
Because someday your nose will twitch,
you'll see him in the light;
you'll dook and dance, and run to him,
Your loving daddy, Mike.
 
Oh, little one I never held
I loved you even so,
and send a special hug today,
 ...and somehow think you know.
