I'll Never (One year without you. A poem for Sofia, my beautiful baby girl) I'll never see you smile or ever hear you laugh. I'll never watch you splashing in the bath. I'll never sooth your tears when you start to cry. I'll never sing you a gentle lullaby. I'll never get to watch you grow. I'll never get to buy you dolls. I'll never teach you how to walk. I'll never teach you how to talk. I'll never blow raspberries on your tummy. I'll never hear you say 'daddy' or 'mummy'. I'll never kiss your chubby little cheeks. I'll never get to play hide and go seek. I'll never tickle your tiny toes. I'll never pretend to steal your nose. I'll never take you to the park or farm or zoo. I'll never get to play peek-a-boo. I'll never feed you solid food. Ill never make play doh creations with you. I'll never throw you a first birthday party. I'll never make finger print paintings when were feeling arty. I'll never get to plait your hair. I'll never choose you a pretty pink dress to wear. I'll never sing row your boat or ba- ba black sheep I'll never rock you in my arms until you fall asleep. I'll never watch you splash around when we go to the pool. I'll never take you to playgroup or nursery school. But above all the things that I 'll never do, I'll never stop loving and longing for and missing you.
