Her weak heart beating
(thump..........thump)
My ears panicking to hear another
(thump)
One last lullaby
With her cradled in my arms
(thump)
Tiny eyes closing softly
And then
Silence
A blessed child at peace.
An angel was born that day
She came to me in a dream
one night
With angel's wings
This time
daughter held mother
Embracing me
She took me into
the air where
I touched the sky
and felt
Clouds tickle my nose
and face
Her laugh a beautiful melody
nightingales full of envy
Her face so at peace
full of hope and faith
She brought me home
a soft kiss on my cheek
Bittersweet tears
falling down my face
With the sun
spilling in
I awake from
this sweet dream
A nightingale's melody
softly heard
In my ears
A smile on my face
My contented heart
beating
With my angel inside.
