Mondays Child

A few words for my son Luke who managed to live for five whole days

            I drove in on the monday
              The best day of my life
         
            I cradled my first baby boy
            while Doc sewed up my wife
         
            I looked into his tiny eyes
                so innocent and pure
   
  you're as close as I'll get to Jesus son
            The Lords in you I'm sure
           
            I  went in on the tuesday
            The worst day of my life
       
        The doc had found a heart defect
                so I cradled my wife

Four days after flying on a red life saving plane
      we smoked a pack of cigarettes
      then unplugged him from his pain
