Poetry: Death of a child

by Lydia Fuller

Created on: November 04, 2009   Last Updated: November 05, 2009


I used to laugh and joke a lot

I used to run and play

I used to be strong and healthy

Then I got sick one day


I went to the doctor like a big girl

Everyone said I'd get better

I knew in my heart things were different

And so I asked the angels to write you this letter


Thank you for taking care of me

When your soul wanted to hide

Thank you for standing beside me

Until the day that I died


I am sorry I didn't fight harder

I am sorry I didn't win

I am sorry I won't get more time with you

My life barely had time to begin


My time on Earth is over

My time with you is through

When I see you in Heaven

I will make it all up to you

Dry your eyes now Mommy


Go hug everyone you love

And remember when you are missing me

That I am watching you from up above
