Dear sweet darling daughter
My Baby Angela
Although I feel you near me
Truth is you are so far
Away up with the angels
High in the clouds above
Always looking down on me
And filling me with love
I often think how life would be
If you'd stayed by my side
My first and only daughter
My treasure and my pride
Fate had not been on our side
And so we had to part
Yet still I think of you each day
You're always in my heart
We went on to give you brothers
Of whom you would be proud
Two boys full of mischief
And I'm sure that from your cloud
You can hear their constant laughter
Their joy and see their play
And if they ever weep I know
You'll help them through the day
Now they're old enough to understand
We told them of your life
How short it was, how precious,
How your loss cuts like a knife
I often think how life would be
If you'd stayed by my side
My first and only daughter
My treasure and my pride

Poetry: Death of a loved one
by Judi B
Heaven Has My Hero Now
Heaven has my hero now,
My life with you is gone.
It's changed in oh, so many ways
But yet continues
"Never"
(In Loving Memory
For my Tattooed Queen)
Taken away before your time,
The debt paid before the crime,
Left but never
The Long Wait
The leaves fell down
Upon the autumn grass;
Frailty in every shade of red...
I sat by the window for a closer
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
Neither sunrise nor sunset that I don't hear your voice
Or miss your laugh
And
Lights shine off in the distance
Nothing but blackness appears
There is resistance
Death whispers in my ear
He talks of a life
