Things Went the Other Way

Here it is the 2nd of September,

It’s suppose to be your birthday.

I should have you in my arms today,

But things went the other way.

You were born a month ago,

And died three short days later.

I should have you in my arms today,

But things went the other way.

Lots of days have come and gone,

Every one thoughts of you fill my mind.

I should have you in my arms today,

But things went the other way.

I wish people would realize

Why it hurts so badly still.

I should have you in my arms today,

But things went the other way.

Please know that I love you,

My sweet little Toby.

You are in the arms of my heart today,

Even though things went the other way.
