Loss of My Only Daughter

People say that I am strong 
after the lossof my only daughter
But just ,how do I move on.
My three sons have kept me strong
Without them it would have felt so wrong..
She was my only girl 
The centre of all our world's. 
The pain is so hard to bear 
Not having my only daughter there.
I now feel sad and blue 
Everyday I live without you.
Each day I live now in a mothers fear
My worst nightmare it is here.
Sum say it gets easier in time
But my heart will ache now
Forever in this body of mine.
