It Was Her I Adored

Summer’s arriving with ease and I’m lost Broken connection, Devoid affection, Feels like the warmth has converted to frost Withering willows, Drowning in billows, The reverie can’t save me from misery Since death caped my sweet daughter Rose Emily. It was her I adored… Once in my womb now sleeps in a cold tomb Rosy cheeks of pink, I’m starting to sink, Her baby girl scent like lilac perfume Tiny toes to count, God, can I surmount? My sweet Rose Emily shall never be mine Now she rests in heaven with angels divine. It was her I adored… Now my poor life abhorred. May 21, 2018
