The children we didn’t have don’t call
Their heights aren’t marked in pencil on the wall
They don’t ride bikes, cry out at night, or fall and graze a knee
And their arms will never reach
For the mother I never got to be
The children we didn’t have press in
Remind me that we couldn’t just begin
They laugh on swings, whisper things I’m not supposed to know
And they never stop to see
The mother that never was, that’s me
Think about all the children we didn’t have
Picture them playing in our life
Think of them deep in thought
Think of their face when their caught
Doing something naughty
Now picture them three or four
Picture them walking out the door
Picture them twenty or thirty or forty
Or maybe fifteen
You know who I mean
The daughter we didn’t have moved in
Smart and sad, uneasy in her skin
Far too young to lose a mom, or take the path she’s traveling on
If I could whisper in her ear
I’d tell her, “Daughter we didn’t have, I’m here”

I’m so sorry! This was spaced very poorly and I’m not sure how to fix it.
