You Were Meant to be Mine

Your eyes are the lightest blue

Like the sky on a snowy mountain top

Your hair is the colour of biscuits and honey

Thick and softly waving

You used to fit into my arms

And stare at me like I was the whole world

Now you lie on me to watch tv

And your head almost reaches my neck

You made me a Mummy

And looking after you got me through

Your Dad’s accident. Almost like,

You were meant to be mine.

Now I’m the one who can calm you quickest,

When you get upset.

When you are hurt, I can make you feel

Like everything’s going to be ok.

I’m the only one you’ll tell about your day

Good or bad, you’ll let me know.

I know why you make the choices you do.

You get me and I get you.

I think that you were meant to be mine,

But I know for sure that I was meant to be yours.
