The yellow band on my wrist
The band I wear on my wrist is bright yellow,
And it's worn in honour of my brave little fellow,
A baby so loved, a baby so missed,
With me every day through the band on my wrist.
We loved him; you know, our little bear,
We love him still, though he's no longer there,
He's in our hearts and there he’ll stay,
And we will love him every day.
The sleepless nights, the teething and tears,
I’d welcome them all; I’d endure them for years,
If it meant that my son was able to stay,
Instead of him going that terrible day.
And so this band I’ll continue to wear,
And when people ask, I’ll continue to share,
My baby so loved, my baby so missed,
But with me forever through the band on my wrist.
Written by Nigel, Bailey's daddy.
