I have lost someone who cannot be replaced, My daughter so beautiful, her face, her grace. How I miss her; I search the corners of my mind, I seek glimpses of memories, hoping to find She's still there, and I feel to wallow And never stop search, she left a gap so hollow. I can only hold tight to the memories dear, When her warmth I want to feel, hold near. It has to be enough if I'm going to survive Each day without her while I'm still alive. One day at a time is my only way. For me to be strong, oh to see her one day.

Nicely done. It's hard when you lose someone weather living or passed.

I’m so sorry for your great loss, Jacqueline. I lost my dad this year, so I can relate. Take care and God bless!

Thank you Laura, saying goodbye is never easy. I trust we will see them again one day. In the meantime may God hold you in his loving arms, as he has me. There's no timescale to grieve, be kind to yourself x

Absolutely beautiful poem. I cant know your pain but I feel it. I can't know your love but I feel it. I can't know your courage but I do feel it. Words can't describe the feelings of tenderness the poem inspires
