 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Why this must be...?


So much sadness in those brown eyes, once smiling
and I feel your heart weeping… silently inside
…just out of reach to hold you any closer
but always know that you will fill me with pride.
So delicate a flower that blooms with such beauty
brought into this world as an Angel to see
but trodden asunder with the darkness in mans heart
and I see your heart struggle as to why this must be?
I understand so much of what you are feeling
I felt these things also, now a long time ago
only the long years have taught me life's lessons
and answered the questions for all I would know.
Be strong my sweet Angel, your years are but a few
and your journey through life is so long
guard well of your beauty and always be faithful
and may the courage inside you be strong.

For my daughter Nicola
