LITTLE ONE

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry Some days I live, some days I die Sometimes I stand tall, sometimes I crawl Then I pace the floor, then I pound the wall. Give me relief from the towering grief The harrowing pain when we speak your name Oh how we miss you, how we miss you, how we miss you, Little One. Some days I'm weak, seldom am I strong Some days I wonder is it worth going on Some days it hits you and some days it's me Some days we're drowning in a merciless sea. Give me belief from the towering grief The harrowing pain when we speak your name Oh how we miss you, how we miss you, how we miss you, Little One. It would take a lifetime and then some, I know To talk of all the things we miss And you could have that lifetime and all I have to show For one more goodnight kiss. How could it come to this? Where do we go, what do we do When all of our dreams were centered on you We're living out the heartache in dark misery The photographs of you the way you used to be Give me relief from the towering grief The harrowing pain whispering your name Oh how we miss you, how we miss you, how we miss you, Little One. (Written as a tribute to the baby born to my parents who died at just 6 months. Years before I was born but never forgotten now) HEAR THIS SUNG IN CONCERT ON YOUTUBE- LITTLE ONE.

I've heard you sing this song and it comes from your heart. You found a way to put a parents grief into words.

We all try and write from the heart but it's not often you see someone's heart write a poem for them. I hope yours will heal. D.N.Read :{)>

Super heartfelt and somber; I felt your grief as I was reading. Pervasive, strong emotion echoing through the whole piece. Excellent job conveying this sentiment. Touching read :)
