As I walk through memory lane,
I stumble over my joy and pain
Reminiscing on those beautiful days
when I was blessed in many ways,
Mostly when I had you around,
with your siblings safe and sound.
I also recall the day you were gone,
each horrible moment, one by one.
The years piled up since that day
when God decided to take you away.
Another anniversary is coming again,
precious daughter, I am dreading the pain.
Your absence will continue to break my heart
Until we meet again and never part.
