My HEART and MIND, is as a RECORDER
AS-in my LIFE, LIVING  and LOVE, everything, of every event is RECORDED, in my HEART and MIND, in chrononological order, in perfect rhythm, rhyme and TIME

Today, an hour and thirty-seven minutes ago, is the twenty-seventh day of JULY
it is the LONGEST and is the HARDEST and most DIFFICULT  DAY, OF every YEAR, for i cannot DENY

For of the YEAR, 1978
our LOVING daughter CHRISTINA-ANNE, was born AT, the naval hospital, at camp lejeune, NORTH-CAROLINA,-in  the EARLY  morning at 0337-very DARK, and LATE

She was STRUGGLING to BREATHE --------from her FIRST- BREATH, in DISTRESSS--------SHE- was FIGHTING for her very LIFE, every BREATH  by. BREATH, and was fighting SECOND  by SECOND, and doing her very BEST

IMMEDIATELY, she was  RUSHED to the INTENSIVE-CARE
the nursing staff, nurses and the best-- DOCTORS, had to start her BREATHING, and REVIVE and RESTORE, her THERE

She- was- FIGHTING- to -SURVIVE
SHE  had to be RUSHED by, MEDIVAC-- HELICOPTER, to the special childrens- hospital, in CHAPEL-HILL  NORTH-CAROLINA,--she was FIGHTING for her LIFE, it was too far to DRIVE

In my HEART and MIND, i  will ALWAYS--REMEMBER
EVERY- single- BREATH,  and MOMENT,  so CLEAR , and CONCISE, without BLUR

But sadly, and tragically, twenty-four hours latter
she passed away, and her death Tragically and sadly, and still LIFE--SHOCKINGLY, thirty eight years-ago now today, did OCCUR

Its as if the LIGHT,  IN my LIFE , LIVING and LOVE,  turned PITCH-- DARK
when our little- INFANT- baby -girl,-- CHRISTINA-ANNE, from this world was taken-- to the heavens , when she LOST,  her BATTLE- to BREATHE,  and came to DEPART

It was a SAD--TRYING--, DEVASTATING--LIFE--CHANGING-- TIME
felt so DEVASTATING, it was even a STRUGGLE  to MOVE and BREATHE, without our little--BABY--GIRL, our SUNSHINE
The following moments after we recieved the -DISHEARTENING-- NEWS
was so DIFFICULT----, DEEP----, DARK---- and ----BLUE

My HEART, and MIND, is as a RECORDER
as im remembering DEEP-- within my HEART everything that happened in exact perfect ORDER

It was even DIFFICULT,  and HARD to PRAY
as WE, my WIFE and ME, WE-----LOST----- our----- BABY----- GIRL-----, CHRISTINA-ANNE, -----that----- EARLY- MORNING-----, thirty -eight- years- ago--as SHE- was -BORN- the- twenty- seventh -of -JULY -in -nineteen--seventy -eight- on -this -DAY

My HEART-- BEAT-, is -here -for -her- each -and , -in -EVERY- WAY
and -OUR-BABY--ANGEL, --CHRISTINA--ANNE, she is with me every HEART- BEAT, as i PRAY, -every- NIGHT -every -DAY

Happy thirty eighth , birthday my LITTLE- ANGEL -GIRL
you GRACED this EARTH for but one mere DAY, and entered the HEAVENS as your WORLD

From your DADDIES  HEART, MIND, BODY and  SOUL
YOU-- have --ALWAYS-- been --LOVED, --and-- MISSED, --IM-- JUST-- LETTING-- YOU-- KNOW
