Flowers For My Baby

flowers-for-kelby-with-diamante-lavendar-written-on-it I miss you. Tell me you're okay.

Since I found you encompassed

Two weeks prior

In the gruesome sorrow of death's embrace.

 

I never thought

That once again

I'd bury my hopes

With another child;

 

Life with you

Was fun and vibrant,

Full of feeling,

Loving, wild;

 

I know you'd want me

To be tough-

To continue on

Life's lumbering pace;

 

To focus on living,

To cherish your memory,

To center myself on love,

Not hate.

 

Though I don't understand

What happened that night

When the reaper came

To the call of fate,

 

I know you'd want me

To persevere,

To feel your love

From Heaven's gates.

 

I am broken,

I am wrenched,

My aching soul

Screams your name;

 

But somehow I know

When I'm old

I'll be in your happy

Presence again.

 

Life's not fair,

Life's a test

Of wading through fear,

Sorrow and blame;

 

Show me your mercy,

Send me your trust,

That we'll be reunited

In Heaven again.
