Poetry: Death of a child

by Dennis Tessier

Created on: October 17, 2008

If only for a moment

I could see your smiling face

Hear the laughter in your voice

Share the joy of your day

If only for a moment

I could hold you close to me

Feel the beat of your heart

Wipe a tear from your cheek

If only for a moment

I could have watched you as you grew

Seen the things life put you through

Known that I was there for you

If only for a moment

I could tell you how I feel

Share the brokenness of my heart

Know that you are truly safe

If only for a moment

God would grant my soul some peace

Tell me about your day

Allow me to look into your eyes

If only for a moment

I would shout to the mountains high

I would dance well into the night

I would rejoice in the mornings light

For it would only take a moment

To make my day complete

For you to take my breath away

And bring rest into my life
