Greatest Loss

Greatest Loss

Eight years now
Since you left
Never a cry heard
That dreadful night

My arms longing
To hold you close
My heart forever
Loving you

Wondering often
What you would be
If never taken
So quickly from me

Always picturing
Your tiny hands
Forever yearning
To feel their gentle touch

My baby girl
You once were
My angel in heaven
You shall forever be
