Nothing Without You

From a mother to her child (Yes those are my babies in the picture- my oldest daughter passed Nov 7, 2008 at 8yrs old)

Hello my precious child
Warming up the room
With that baby smile
Skin smell so sweet
Like sugar cane
Watching how you grow
Into your name
Curiosity kicking in
And terrible two’s
But you can clearly say
I love you
And I love you too
You are my world
I never cared if
You were a boy or girl
Health was the words
To the Lord I pray
Just to be with you
Each and everyday
There will be times
When you make me mad
But angers not forever
And I hate when you are sad
I make a vow to you
To always protect
To love you passionataly
And never neglect
To teach you things 

Important in life
To teach you all
The wrongs and rights
To love you even when
You make mistakes
Because I realize Sometimes
That’s what It takes
To respect you
Never calling you out your name
Because if you are that
I am to blame
You are a part of me
My flesh my soul
Without you my heart
Has an empty hole
And some take for granted
These words I speak
Because they are worthless
And extremely weak
Selfish creatures that
Rome the earth
Never should have even
Given birth
I still dread the day
I lost one love in the rain
I look at her pictures
And still feel the pain
Wishing she was here
But it is out of my control
My God knows for her life
I would trade my soul
But heaven is better
Than the things they see
Crying out to God
About their destiny
If he took them back
To the Heaven floors
That’s the end of the world
We would be no more

There will be times

But angers not forever

Very heart wrenching Mother's account of such a tragic loss. Nice tribute to your daughter. What could possibly be criticized about such an honest write?:)
