Chloe

In the water is the mirrored image I see.
 The true beauty is a reflection of me.
 Thoughts that run through my mind are my beliefs that I cannot find. 
 Like the flowers that float in the water are my memories of Chloe my daughter. She's now an angel taken from me.
 My sweet precious baby Chloe.
