as soon as the colour was disappearing from her face, mummy couldn't take no more. I wanted to run. But saw it out to the end.and it killed me. and it stilll does now, the day after. it haunts me that could not hold you in your final breathe, and how much pain I put onto your dad by passing you to him. and soon as he saw what I saw, he broke and crumbled. we were sure you had passed, with each delayed breathe, but eventually, you breathed your last breath and It was a long pause, with no more breathes following,... I had to run. as soon as it was pronounced.

FOR SUCH A LITTLE WHILE
God gave you your daughter
For such a little while;
He put a bit of heaven
In the sunshine of her smile
He took dust from the brightest twinkling stars
And made her sparkling eyes;
And now, she's gone back home to God,
To play up in the skies.
And though she left so quickly
That your hearts are grieved and sad,
We know she lives with God
And her small heart is glad.
And though your precious darling
Was just a rosebud small;
She'll bloom in all her beauty
On the other side of the wall.

COME WITH ME
The Lord saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you
and whispered, "Come with me"
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same
Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday."
