My baby John

The day that you were born you brought joy to me

You were so very pretty and big

You were nice and had black hair

With blue shinny eyes

I will never forget you

My son

I was there when you gave your first steps

I brough you up the best I could

I was to you a sweet teacher

I taught you, your prayers to laugh and play

and so its sad all day when you went away.

It broke my heart, it is a pain to any mother

and my heart is shot.

My baby John

The day that you were born brought joy to me

You were so very pretty and

you were nice with shinny eyes

I will never forget you

My son I was there when you took your first steps

I brough you to school each morning and did the best I could

I taught you prayers every day

I visit your grave everyday and we have a chat

Before we chat I pray for us all

Take care of your little brother Martin hold him

tell him Man and Dad Love him and Miss him

I know you are not far from the family and will come and help me in my troubles

We love you.
