CERTIFICATE
Only another signature
The state says it’s needed
Something most never see
Yet it must be heeded

It’s about a child
So difficult to realize
The paper states time and date
The reason for demise

It’s only a piece of paper
A child’s life no more
Only another signature
But so hard to endure

Complete the dreaded task
Then the helpless feeling
Upset hopefully will pass
Now help the living

So hard. If it is your loss, I am so sorry.
