My Crushing Sadness
December 11, 2014
OhMyMerlin! The baby was due
The minutes to wait become few
I nervously straightened my tie
The wall I lean on to rely
A child's cry could be heard and I knew
My smiling child would softly coo
And play happy games of peek-a-boo
Little did I know sickness was nigh
That beautiful little girl of mine
She became frail, she no longer grew
The sickness consumed her and death would too
We knew how it would end, how she would die
No longer playing, she lifelessly lie
Her spul with the angels she flew
That beautiful little girl of mine
