We didn't get to know you
But we feel you in our hearts
Which opened up to love you
But now are broken and apart
And just because your smile was hidden
We feel you would have known
Outside your family waited
For that chance to see you grow
Everybody loves you
We'd swap the world to have you here
But we hope you're resting peacefully,
Safe, away from fear
Always in our hearts you'll be
Entwined within our very soul
The loss of you dear Jacob,
I have a million questions,
To which I know there's no reply
But I'm asking anyway
Why? Oh why? Oh way?
With such a heavy sadness
it takes us all to bear the load
Each to look out for the other
So no one is alone
And for Jacobs Mum & Dad
Who we also love so much
Is support we hope will carry you
Hold you up and be your crutch
