A Goodbye

This was written for a friend of my coworker, who's child died.

Heart shattering into a million pieces
cover your ears for the sound is so great
With the shattering of the heart
Comes the shattering of lifelong dreams
Ones that now are not to ever be
These dreams were supposed to have brought so much joy
Through the long and lonely days the possibilty of them brought joy to you
Just thinking of them again breaks the dam
They have unintentionally reopened old scars

 

Oh mind, of mine, dwell on happier thoughts? Please?
Of days when we were running through the sun
Of the sweet nights when I held you in my arms

 

I knew the first time I saw you that there was no way I would let you go
You looked at me and my heart stopped completely until
I heard your adorable little giggle
Our gazes were torn apart
But not for long because you looked in my eyes and straight to my soul

 

I even remember our first meeting
It was at the hospital
How my heart had wings for weeks
My friends told me I was smiling like a fool
But did that stop me from holding you close?

 

A smile to my face you'll always bring
All I have to do is look at your beautiful face
And know that you will always be my precious little baby girl
Oh how you feel in my arms so
I just wish I could fight your fight

 

I just wish for you so much more than you have had
I wish I could have seen you marry or have a child
Because what joys children bring
I want you to know that no matter what happens
In my heart and thoughts you'll always be

 

So my dear do not cry
Shed not a tear in thoughts of me
I'll be here waiting for
the time for us to be together
I know I shall miss you oh so much
But the time before we're together forever
Shortly it shall be

 

Do not wait to go for my sake alone
For suffering and pain is not worth the wait
Go and be free from pain
You will forever live in my heart and never grow old
You will never have your heart broken
I love you my dear, sweet, loving, precious baby girl.

I message and ideas are being coveyed and are understood. i just feel that you could have presented the message in a more profound way.
