Poem
Loving You!
An angel was born and taken away
You left so soon and nothing to say
I loved you since the first day
I held you in my arms
Your cute face and precious smile
But now that’s gone
An innocent baby girl, was here with
us for such a short time
What do we do is all that goes through our minds.
You’re going to heaven, it’s a better place
It hurts so much our hearts are half way out of space
Our hearts are crushed and filled with pain
But the last memory of you will be in our hearts and
The love remains the same!
