Rhymes of the Heart

January 28th

Today I walk through memories
But my steps seem mighty slow
Still bearing all the anguish
I suffered long ago

That tiny baby oh so sick
I couldn't hold or touch
Always praying that she knew
I loved her very much

Her chest no longer rose and fell
She had taken her last breath
Reliving that final moment
When she succumbed to death

Why must I go through it all
On this day every year
Do the memories have to haunt me
And be so crystal clear

Can't I just see her smile
On January twenty-eighth
Instead of those last moments
When I questioned my faith

Perhaps that is the reason
God reminds me of this day
For my faith had faltered
Grief led me astray

Sleep well my little one
Mommy she still cries
Reliving that final moment
When Jesus closed your eyes

Rest in peace my Angel
