Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Dear Ava Rose and Cora

Dear Ava Rose and Cora

I’m so sorry my babies for making you cry.
Mommy didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye.
Sometimes important tasks are left undone.
But I will be up here watching you with God’s loving son.

I will be in your hearts as you continue to grow.
Mommy loves you so much, and this you will always know.
Your family and friends will always be there.
They will fill in for Mommy when you need extra care.

Work hard at school and take care of each other.
You are your sister’s keeper, so love one another.
Both of you are special, there is nothing you can’t do.
Hold onto each other, I will always love you.

Love, Mommy

Richard Lamoureux January 31, 2021 at 4:08 PM This is so sad Mark. I can’t imagine all that you and your family are going through. It is especially sad when young children are involved. I’m sure your words will offer a measure of comfort. Blessings and a virtual hug. Mark Koplin January 31, 2021 at 4:53 PM Thank you for your kind words Richard, I appreciate that. I apologize about my comments on yours today, I’m just tired of Kieth harassing women here on the soup. Richard Lamoureux January 31, 2021 at 4:10 PM I see as well that this missive was chosen as POTD. I commend the soul for their excellent choice.

Mark Koplin January 31, 2021 at 6:32 AM I would like thank everyone for the kind words. Last Sunday afternoon my niece was hit by a train and killed instantly. She was 27 years old and left behind two little girls, 4 years old and 8 years old. Mark Koplin February 1, 2021 at 9:18 PM Both children have different biological fathers, my nieces fiancé is fighting for custody for both of them. It’s going to be ugly Rama Balasubramanian February 1, 2021 at 2:32 AM Oh my god! They are so small. I lost my mother when I was 10. It is not easy. Do they have a support system, someone who will take care of them? This is so saddening to me. I can understand your state of mind. May God give you all lot of strength. Take care Rama
