So many years ago you left me here.
You are my daughter no matter the years.
From my body you had came.
Flesh of my flesh I gave you a name.
Cezzanne, like the artist that you
may have one day became. Cezzanne,
was your name that I gave you to
claim.
Against my breast you laid for a
moment and then like the sun
setting you went away. I love
you still Cezzanne, my child.
Again I believe your face I
will see.
I have not forgotten that
you were my first baby.

Poetry: Death of a child
LITTLE SUNSHINE
I'm waiting for you, little sunshine,
For the day when I have you to hold.
I miss your warmth, though my arms
by Crystal Cook
Today I kissed an angel
I held his broken wings
My voice rang out to little ears
that could not hear me sing
I smiled my best
by Raven Storme
Angel Baby.
Our time together was too short,
And memories are too few.
I felt your love as you felt mine
As inside me you grew.
Time
When he left
the serpent of sparkling diamonds
which ripples and curves and stretches
from one side of night to the other
by Moeze Lalji
Death of a child
Is never understood
Breaking the
Normal sequence
Of life and death
Children follow parents
A great emotional
Loss
