FOR YOU

hey little girl,
with the voice as soft as the wind on a muggy summer afternoon.
hey little girl,
with the eyes of chocolite candy kisses delivered on valentines day.
i want to tell you how much i fear losing you,
but i cant find the words.
i cant find the words to describe the daily gnawing, muscle tensing,
ache in the pit of my stomach,
that manifests from my fear, frustration, and insecurity.

don't play too close to the open window.
hold my hand the whole time we walk, and stay on the inside.
watch the stove.
did we proof all the sockets?

don't worry you will get better soon.
we'll sit together in the ice water to break this fever.
keep ypur head up, together we'll get through.
did we do everything we could?

hey little girl,
with a smile as pure as an artesian well.
hey little girl,
my expressionless eyes create rivers of flowing memories.

hey little girl,
i'm so sorry you got sick.
my sweet little girl
i've thought of you with my bic against my wrist.
but i have to stay.

i have to stay.

hey little girl,
who looks down on me,
this father's scarred heart still beats
and all the good i'll ever do
is for you.

Dude, I don't know how a poem about the death of a little girl is
"creepy" even if it is poorly written, but you go ahead man.

spay,have a heart dude,it looks to me like he lost his daughter
would you write a poem if you lost your child?
think about it before you give that smart assed answer brewing in your
head,then say something that showes your brains,not your ass...M.
*no offense,just my take on this*

Im so sorry for your loss, I cannot even come close to thinking what
your pain is inside, it would be really hard to stay here!!

I lost my 15 year old niece and that pain still lives with me
at least once a week, and she died 9 years ago....sorry man.

Your words here tell us all, whats in your heart......
Pray and wait until your calling...GOD BLESS YOU!!

Its never easy to write much less express your feelings in any way about
the loss of a child. Depoet you did so with dignity and feeling, a great
work here. I am truly sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that time will never take the pain
away, but please remember that you have family here, and if you want to
