My daughter Died.

They told me today

That this is the end

I knew it was just a matter of when

You’ve been fighting for over 75 days

And we’ve seen how strong you are in so many ways

I guess your body can only fight for so long

God, this all just seems so wrong

It’s just not fair this is happening to you

You’re so young and you still have a lot to do

I try to pray for strength to do what’s right

It’s just I don’t want to quit

While you still want to fight

I keep hoping He will give me sign

Something to tell me

That she is still mine

I guess I just have to put her in

His hands

And pray that He will do all he can

I need her so much

But all I can do is cry

And pray that somehow

My baby won’t die

I try to understand

And get these thoughts out of my head

But something’s are worse

Than just being dead

How do I go on knowing she’s no longer around?

Then again how do I bury a daughter?

Six feet in the ground.

Author's Notes:

12/20/2006. The docters told me she only had 48 hours. She made it 72.

She was born with A rare heart defect and she went through 2 open heart surgeries, plus surgeries for complications from the heart defect. She was only 5 1/2 months.

	This is unbelievably sad, sorry for your loss. A friend has just lost his daughter, after 6 months... It's hard to find the right words to say to him, but you can never be prepared for something like this. Regards. Antony. Respond To This Comment

	God looked at his garden, then at you daughters face. He saw her weary body, so for this rose he made some space. He decided to take your daughter for He only takes the best and he knew her soul, needed a quiet place to rest. I am filled with tears and sorrow for you loss. My heart breaks with yours. She suffered so much in her very short life, now God has taken her home to rest. Congrats on the award. Hugs Helen Respond To This Comment
