Poetry: Death of a child

by Julius Albert Custodio

Created on: November 10, 2009   Last Updated: November 11, 2009

"Sleep Little Princess, Sleep"

The day she left the earth,
it was raining hard.

It was the happiest day,
Nothing can ever go wrong.

Her laughter still rings inside me,
lost in the corridors of my mind.

I felt the wind caress my shoulders,
sending back hurtful memories.

Remembering the end of it all,
I should have done something.

It was not my fault they told me,
Nature was the culprit.

But I still swallowed my guilt.

So hush little princess.

Daddy will be there soon.
