Notes About The Poem

- Grief Is Tremendous -

The sunshine of your laughter and raindrops of small tears
Your steps so soft and light
Your blond curls and smiling eyes

We didn’t want to let you go
A mother and father's love for a child
The time has come the moment to say goodbye

Living without you we are slowly dying inside
Like a leaf blown away by the wind
Keep your smile on your face until we meet again little angel
