That day, I missed you little grandson,
But I held you when you had gone,
My heart was full of sadness,
For the memories left undone
 
Your mummy and daddy loved you oh so much,
Every breath of yours so precious,
The time they had was blessed and special,
But tinged with a final sadness.
 
Defying all the odds,
We imagine the child you would have been,
You left us with impressive clues,
If only we all could have seen.
 
Your family will not forget you,
Even though you can’t be seen,
In times to come we will oft reflect,
On the man you would have been.
 
So, goodbye our little Theo,
I wish we still had you here,
The grandson I could never spoil
Avoiding sadness, pain and fear.
