Remembrance

How quickly the days go by
It seems like only yesturday
I held you in my arms
And kissed those ever so tender lips
Your nose, your eyes, your hands

Was it fate that came so suddenly
And tore you from my breast?
Or did God look down and say
Child, it is time to rest

Although my heart still aches for you
I know that some sweet day
According to the life I reap
God will give you back again

And last not least I give all praise
To the Father up above
For the precious child He lent to me
A token of His great love

Loss of a child is the worst pain I can imagine. I'm sure you never forget. This is nicely done.

Wow! Great write here on a hard topic. My husband lost his daughter(previous marriage)when she was only 2, so your poem hits home. Not all poetry need have "rhyme" or reason. Free verse is a great expression and you have done it here. Well done!

Very sweet and patient. A lot of the time, if you rhyme some of the poem, it's really nice to rhyme the whole thing. I've always think that poems with more traditional tones and topics work well with rhyming, so I'd consider it. Very pretty poem.
