Poem
On this, the day she went away The 23rd of December My mind is full of thoughts of you That sad news, I still remember Her parting gave no warning And you were so very young How suddenly she left this world When that song, her Angels sung Much younger then, so too was I But I tried my very best The only thing I thought might help Was hold you tightly to my chest I wanted to be there for you To somehow ease your pain Those early years have come and gone But today, I feel the same Inside of you, her memory lives Just like from the very start And still, she watches over you From daybreak until dark She sees your every struggle Every challenge, every fear She feels the ache you're feeling And she hears your every prayer I know she's up there beaming At the man that you've become I'm sure she's very proud of you Her precious, youngest Son So if I could, I'd wipe the tears You've shed along the way I'd hold you close like I did then But forever, I would stay And though your heart is hurting She wants you to live on My hope is that this little poem Helps you endure and carry on And if you need to be reminded Just look up to heaven above Her Angels, they will comfort you And surround you with Her love
