You left on a train to London, Leaving alone with our only son. With tiny hands outstretched, he plead with you, I had to suck it up and bid you adieu. As he grows he begins to wonder, Asking, "Mama, where's papa?" I smile and kiss his cheek, Knowing I can't give him that which he seeks. As the strong grow weak, You come back, That which he seeks. Ever young, Ever strong, You give me a heartfelt smile, That which I hadn't seen in a while. Now, united again, Waiting not in vain, I could only say, This is the only way... You, me, and Our darling Ree.
