My Baby Girl

Cora, dear, what is it like
to look down upon the world?
to dance with joy, never suffer
and see my life unfurled?
Would it be too much to see your face
if only in a dream?
My baby doll, my little girl,
come back home to me.
Your mommy is broken hearted
your daddy sure is too
For someone whom i never met
its hard to live without you.
Are you being called by Jesus?
Are you doing His great works?
Do you see how we live everyday
dealing with the hurt?
You impacted my future, little one
its hard to wake each day
Why did Jesus send you to me
just to go away?
I know it happens for a purpose
and i guiltily question "why?"
Although Jesus now holds you in His arms,
I still can't help but cry
I read poems written by others
about how you're watching me
at first they brought me comfort,
but now it's hard to see
The reasoning behind your abandonment
I still feel you inside me kicking
Lately i've tried to forget you
But like in all things, i am slipping.
I beg in vain, Cora
I write you every night
cant you see me as i weep
when all others are out of sight?
If I could see you, I'd apologize
nothing hurts me more
Than thinking of time I took for granted
What is all this for?
I've learned my damn lesson
why taunt me anymore?
Cant he see your memory brings no joy?
it's just a bottomless hole
Are you with other children?
God, I wish I could see their smiles
I long for the day I can join you both
To make this waiting all worthwhile
My daughter dearest, joy, my little baby
daddys little girl
My greatest accomplishment, buttercup
princess, pumpkin, shining pearl
Little angel baby, your candle burns
even though you were called Home
Mommy loves you oh-so-much
in my memory you do roam.
God, please take care of her
Like I know you'll always do
I know that she is better off
being raised by You.
Allow my prayers to go across
tell her how sorry I am
mommy and daddy misses you, hon
Forever Yours. Amen.
