Eighteen Years

Eighteen years went quickly by
Like the blink of an eye.
It’s only yesterday when I heard your first cry
Took you to sleep and sang you a lullaby.
Comforted you when I heard you sigh,
Wiped your tears and your eyes dry.
It’s only yesterday when we went to buy
The several dresses you picked to try
And the eye makeup I did apply.
Your life was too short to say good-bye.
How I cherish the moments we spent,
you and I,
And miss your eyes that sparkled like
stars in the sky
And your magical smile that kept my
spirits high.
With no wings, WHY? Why did you
have to fly?
