Jacqueline Ohara Poet Free verse

Maria

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.
