When I hold my baby and say good-bye,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When my milk comes in and there is no baby,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When my arms ache but there is no baby to hold,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When I feel a flutter where the baby used to be,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When the food, flowers, cards and plants stop coming,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When the visitors stop coming to the house and the phone is silent,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When the sun goes down and the silence sets in,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When my baby’s monthly and yearly birthdays are here,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When special occasions, anniversaries or Holidays arrive,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
As the years go by and I continue to long for and miss my child,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
When it feels as if I’m the only one who remembers,
that’s when I’ll need you most.
