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."
