Precious Child

Even though you shouldn't have left me, I knew it was time to say goodbye.  
No more pain and suffering and hurt coming from your eyes.  
No more lonely nights with hurt and continuous dismay.  
Time is winding down, each and every day.  
You start to feel the sickness, and it hurts you inside.  
As fear took over, your eyes closed as you began to die.  
You took your last breath as the light began to shine,  
God opened His arms and welcomed you and said, "You precious child of Mine."
