A lost child definitely fits here. "A dusty sleep you took too soon. Failing green eyes smiling as they greet the day," his first day in the world. One of the meanings I get from the song title is that the best way for Mat to remember his son after only knowing him for so short a time is to plant flowers on his grave. Something blooming over his son is the closest thing to having time together, and it needs water to develop into the memories they couldn't share. Amazing song.
