Child I Never Knew

[Verse]
I stitched a quilt in shades of blue and pink,
Dreams woven tight, just me and you.
A rocking chair waits by the door,
But your laughter won't echo anymore.

[Chorus] 
Oh, the child I never knew, but still I feel you near,
A whisper in the quiet, a memory unclear.
Though I never held you close, my heart still breaks in two,
For the love I couldn’t give, to the child I never knew.

[Verse]
I never saw your tiny face, or held your fragile hand,
Never got to watch you grow, or see you take a stand.
The dreams I didn’t know I had, now haunt me in the night,
A shadow of what could’ve been, fading in the light.

[Chorus]
Oh, the child I never knew, but still I feel you near,
A whisper in the quiet, a memory unclear.
Though I never held you close, my heart still breaks in two,
For the love I couldn’t give, to the child I never knew.

[Bridge]
Life’s a fragile mystery, some chapters never told,
But in my heart, your memory’s worth more than all the gold.
I’ll carry you forever, though you slipped away too soon,
A quiet part of me, beneath the rising moon.

[Chorus]
Oh, the child I never knew, but still I feel you near,
A whisper in the quiet, a memory unclear.
Though I never held you close, my heart still breaks in two,
For the love I couldn’t give, to the child I never knew.
[Verse]
Was it a boy who loved the stars, or a girl with eyes like mine?
Did you carry my laughter, or your father’s stubborn line?
I’ll never know the answers, they’re lost in time’s cruel hand,
But I feel you in the wind, like grains of drifting sand.
