You Will Know Who This Is

You Will Know Who This Is What will I do when daughter has gone? Closed all blinds and drapes are drawn In the deep dark is where I do lay Now that daughter has passed away. Was very tired and had grown weary Each day I did live in was more dreary I seem so sad and am full of dismay Why would God take my daughter away. To God will the thought ever occur What I want is to be in heaven with her And if I were to receive what I wish Life here on earth want God to finish. Take me to heaven where memories are Of once when I had been a rising star Still something deep in me is inherent God, I always was a very proud parent. For God. what I had was a true thirst Why would my delightful child die first At same time, please both of us take care Now that in heaven we both are up there.

It's very hard when a child predecessors a parent. I hear your cry James. Found your poem cause you were on line. A sad note but a beautiful sonnet. Cheer up, your writing very much improved. Your daughter would like this ode to her. Happy New Year James, Rainbow.

So sad! My grandma had a stroke after her daughter died. She lived for several more years, always so sad. RIP Carrie and Debbie
