Say Goodbye To the Dying Light

She's seen the little mass
Her baby in the shattered glass
Oh her mind cannot cope
But instead of the knife, a rope
To take her own life
And leave her husband without a wife
Because she is no longer a mother
And she cannot have another
So she is writing a letter
And feels as light as a feather
She says "I just want to be free"
So dead is the only way to be
Soon the day will turn to night
As she says goodbye to the dying light

What a very tragic piece! It is so painful to lose a child and many cannot work through the grief. Excellent piece - a 7! Best wishes. Pandita
