I knew what this poem was about before you wrote the end part...
It's well written heartfelt it reminded me about a song
I wrote about this painful suject from a father perspective..
I hope you dont' mind me putting in your post.
called "I wonder"
You never forget......

[D] I wonder what you would look like now [G]would you stand straight and [A]tall.

[D] Yes I wonder what you would look like now [G]would you love us [A]all.

[Bm] And in my [A]thoughts [G]you stand in front[A] me.

[Bm] And you [A] face [G]I imagine that I can[A]see.

[D]Yes I wonder what you would look like now[G] I I guess [A7sus4] I will nev[A]er[D]know.

[D]As my mind recalls the past [G]of many years[A] ago.

[D] I was so much young then[G]and perhaps my loss didn’t [A]show.

[Bm]But now [A] I realise[G]just what you would have meant [A]to me.

[Bm]Now this[A] little emptiness[G] will never let me[A] be.

[D]Yes I wonder what you would look like now[G] I guess[A7sus4] I will nev[A]er[D]know.

[D]Down through the years[G]I still can remember[A] tears.

[D]As we came to  terms[G] and excepted our worst[A] fears.

[Bm]You were the[A] first[G] an expression of our[A] love.

[Bm]But you were taken [A]from us[G] perhaps on  a whim from God[A] above.

[D]Yes I wonder what you would look like now[G]I guess[A7sus4]I will nev[A]er[D]know.

[D]As time has raced us by[G]the hurt has become a just [A]sigh

[D]Just a little memory to have to hold[G]to take until I[A]die

[Bm]You are still [A]with me [G]you have never left my [A]mind.

[Bm]You were[A] something[G] that wasn’t[A] to shine.

[D]Yes I wonder what you would look like now[G] I guess[A7sus4]I wasn’t meant[A] to[D]know.

sorry about the Chords

Got some bad news for you . . .

Now you've started you can't just stop. This is good - very good, touching and poignant. I think we'd all like to see more - when you're ready . . .

Sounds like we have a budding songwriter
Alot of the great songs have been written with just a few chords good luck with your composing.

ok... well I have indeed put it to music - and of course changed it a bit to allow so.  I came down with laryngitis, so I figured I might as well post the music since I can't work on the singing portion of it much more for a little bit.  God willing this laryngitis goes away soon... I have a difficult time going thru an entire day without being able to sing anything!  LOL!

here's the link to the chords posted on chordie:  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic. … 926#p82926

yep!  Well... maybe a video, maybe just the music... either way I don't have much that's decent to record on here for video or audio quality, but something yes.  Follow along on the song thread posted earlier! 

Thanks!

Thank you for your comment Stretch Papa.  I am glad that it was able to come across as what it is... yet... with the question of it it really was.  My husband keeps asking if I've written a song for him yet... I guess that will be next, although "our" song "you may be right" by Billy Joel really sums it all up!  LOL!
