If only somehow your mum saved you
If only you were strong enough to fly
If only we didn't find you as we rushed out
If only we didn't stop our curious boy who saw you first
If only we remained oblivious of your diminishing existence as you lay breathing your last few breaths
If only we knew exactly what you needed
If only we knew how to help you
If only we could actually do something meaningful for you
But it was your last breaths that we heard
But it was your body that we tried to warm
But it was only what we could do as life whisked us away for but an hour.
We did come back
You had breathed your last.
We did come back to see what more we could do
But there was nothing to do.
We did come back. But you were not alive.
If only we could have seen you fly
If only we could have heard you sing
If only you had survived
