Small Bump

You're just a small bump unborn

In four months, you're brought to life

You might be left with my hair

But you'll have your mother's eyes

I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can

But for now, you're a scan of my unmade plans

A small bump

In four months, you're brought to life

And I'll whisper quietly

I'll give you nothing but truth

If you're not inside me

I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only

And you can wrap your fingers 'round my

Thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my

Thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be all right

Ooh, you're just a small bump, I know, you'll grow into your skin

With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin

Fingernails the size of a half grain of rice

And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide

A small bump

In four months, you'll open your eyes

And I'll hold you tightly

And tell you nothing but truth

If you're not inside me

I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only

And you can wrap your fingers 'round my

Thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my

Thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be all right

And you can lie with me

With your tiny feet

When you're half asleep

I'll leave you be

Right in front of me

For a couple weeks

So I can keep you safe

'Cause you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my

Thumb and hold me tight

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my

Thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be all right

'Cause you were just a small bump, unborn

For four months, then torn from life

Maybe you were needed up there

But we're still unaware as why
