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.
