A Prayer Answered

A Prayer Answered

I used to live in a bubble, fun filled and care free
But now my life is similar to autumn leaves under an oak tree
My daughter’s funeral music echoing from the brass band
Heap by heap her grave is filled with sand
 “God how am I suppose too carry on?”
Death is so final, my daughter is forever gone!
She was so brave yet so small,
If fighting could be measured, she would stand tall
“God answer me, give me a sign!”
“And please don’t tell me it would all be revealed in time”

“My child why so angry, I answered you even before you asked.
Seven years ago, you married a brown eyed girl I assigned to a task.
She will be the pillow when you weep.
Share your nightmares when you can’t sleep
She will be your pillar of strength when you fall apart.
Pick up the pieces and carry in her pocket your broken heart.”

Dear Grandpa

Dear grandpa, I know you still sad and heart broken,
But these words is my appreciation token
You loved me in your own special way, 
I know that you wish that a little longer I could stay. 

Your visits to my grave I find pleasant, but why so early in the morning?
You there even when it is storming. 
I know I was the apple of your eye, 
Your sunshine, your rainbow in the cloudy sky. 

I am sorry that I left so soon, but I had no choice. 
I was called home by our Heavenly Father's voice.
Grandpa, go on without me, live life without this weight
And know that I will wait for you at Heaven's east gate.

Story of Your Life

God made you from clay with his hands
Beautiful and pure like the rose you are.
Pink cheeks and eyes sparkling like stars,
Yet, unknown we were of His plans.
Despite you being diagnosed with trisomy, your flame God kept alive.
You smiled, you laughed and sometimes cried on your mom’s arm,
But a lullaby by her had you so calm.
That was the story of your life, a story of peace and strive 
For almost two years you blossomed into a beautiful pearl
Yet you were on borrowed time by His grace
Borrowed time suddenly ended, with a tearful embrace
I held you lifeless body, but even then you were still the cutest girl
Why did it have to be you? I don’t understand?!
A life so young and blooming, now destroyed
Schylar Rose, how will I ever fill this void?
My child we will meet again at the celestial gate, you holding the Father’s hand

Goodbye My Child, Goodbye

Goodbye my child, I am the sinner but God called upon you. 
Your life was so short, the years didn't even tick till two. 

Goodbye my child, as you listening from above to the brass band, 
Your coffin in the ground, me frantically filling your grave with sand!

Goodbye my child, I am crying but have to let you go. 
Your curtain has fallen, it is the end of your "live" show

Goodbye my child, this is the end but also a new start, 
You an angel now, watching over us, our personal guard. 

Goodbye my child, you took my heart with you when you died, 
Goodbye my child, goodbye

If Only I Had the Courage

If only I had the courage…

Constantia Clinic, 16 December,
A day forever to be remembered.
You last day on this earth,
It was only twenty months and a bit since your day of birth.
Now today six months later I am staring at the ceiling,
Seeking a way out, as there is no healing
I can cry for a hundred years,
You won’t be coming back, no matter my tears.
How do I hold on without letting go?
I am a coward, but the world don’t know.
Why did you have to leave?
I want to follow you but I am too weak!
It is just too hard to live my life again,
If only I had the courage; I would put my story to an end


P.s. While typing these words, I was sitting, crying in my daughter’s room. I was inconsolable. The motion sensor lights switched off, the room was in complete darkness. If only life was that easy; your light switch off if you don’t want to live life. Then I won’t need any courage…

My Dearest Schylar

Dearest Schylar, these words seek forgiveness for dad.
Forgiveness for unfulfilled promises, that makes me so sad. 
My heart ache, my mood is gloomy, yes I am crying. 
My daughter, these promises were not broken for a lack of trying.

Church was our thing, all looked in awe as you sing
However, i failed to tell you bout Jesus and angels with wings. 
I also failed to mention uncle Adam and aunt Eve. 
Conversations we never had is just adding to my grieve

At night I prayed for protection over you, 
And asked the Almighty God what else to do.
We bought you so many gifts, some still sealed. 
Spent money on medical bills, yet your secrets were never revealed!

For your uncle's wedding I promised you a dance,
But everyone thought you so cute and we never got the chance. 
I even promised you a house by the ocean!
Just imagine us watching the waves in motion. 

I promised to be your feet if you can't walk, 
Your tongue if you can't talk, 
You eyes if you can't see, 
I promised you everything I can be! 

But when death came calling I was't there to hold your hand
As the bottom of the hourglass filled with sand. 
Our prayers for a miracle was all in vain
Hopeless we stared at your body, oh the pain! 

God ask us to love Him and sing His praises
Was my mistake maybe that I loved Him to little? 
And you too much? 
Forgive me my child but you were to precious to love less

Start Over Again

Today, like yesterday and the day before I have to start over again.
I have to learn to live, laugh and love through the pain, 
Learn to walk with confidence, I can't even consider running
How? I dont know, so I guess I need to live without knowing.
Tomorrow would be the same and the day there after,
Learning to live without your love or laughter.
Yes I will still love,  but I won't be love like I was loved before.
Yes I will laugh again, but your laughter I will hear no more. 
I will live life again, but it will be a life without you. 
Is it worth it? It won't be easy but I have to

Fight Another Day

It is five in the morning,
I am awake, my pillow is wet and in my mind it is storming. 
My heart is broken; this is me without a mask. 
Father it was your will. You decided "thy cup shall not pass".
At my daughter's bedside photo I stare,
It is screaming inside my head, life just isn't fair! 
But I have to lift my head to face a new day, 
No matter the broken trust, to Him I must still pray. 
I pray for bravery to go out and face the world with a smile, 
Smiling although my heart is torn and the pieces rest with my child
I need to remain strong; forever it can not rain. 
I will smile although my eyes is hiding an ocean of pain, 
And emotions running wild inside me,
No matter how aweful this pain, its not for the world to see
Here I am world, ready to fight for another day. 
It's my life, i will continue the good fight everyday.

A Broken Dad

As I awake for a new day, tired, sleepy, not smiling.
Looking at your photos bedside, I am crying
The world is my enemy, I don’t love nor do I care
I just want you back, I just want to cry about the love we shared

I didn’t stop praying, in front of my bed I am kneeling
“God I never want to forget my daughter, for me I ask no healing
But I am asking You to provide a support structure for my wife,
I am also not present as a father, therefor please guide my son through life”

“I am a lousy husband, a broken dad,
I lost someone so dear to me, it is driving me mad!
I want my daughter back my Lord, I am pleading!
I am asking you with tears in my eyes, in prayer I am kneeling."

A Family Gathering

Tonight it is quality time, a family gathering;
Cousins running playfully, but you are missing,
To me the "you" is the most precious of all, 
I reach for my phone, but you I can't even call! 
My daughter, in a graveyard you lay,
I don't want to participate, I just wish I could watch you play! 

It pleases me to see that everyone is having fun;
My wife laughing at the dance moves of my son.
Alone I am trying to carry this burden
A cross I'm carrying since the closing of your curtain. 

I was always the introvert, but since you gone I am even more quiet. 
You constantly on my mind; missing you makes me so tired. 
The family's love fills the room, but my life feel so much colder,
I just realized I might be 34 in years, but in life I'm so much older!
