DAPHNE EVE Surprise indeed, but oh so sweet She made our hearts so full. As she moved her tiny feet, How can life be so cruel? A life to short for us to bear, We only held her once. Could this be a terrible nightmare? What happened to my arrogance? I held her tight, she would not move Her lips so shiny red. The silence alone, would just prove, My baby girl was dead. Her daddy cried, the only tears, A daddy knows to cry. A baby’s birth should bring cheers But we must say goodbye. The day had come to let her rest, To place her in the earth. I wanted her atop my chest, She had no amount of worth. The time had come to let her go, My heart just ached for her. My loving spirit within so low, Through my eyes just like a blur. Not a week nor a day Not a second goes by, Without her in my mind. I always feel all I need to do Is just sit down and cry, As I look at her, I realize, She is so sweet and kind. I wish I could be as strong, As other women I know. People, who care, will say I’m wrong, But my recovery is moving slow. I miss my angel girl so much, I wish that she were here. I want to feel her loving touch, I want her to be near. God has taken her from me, It’s so hard to understand. I’m thankful that her spirit’s free, It is just not what I planned. I know that I will meet, Daphne Eve again one day. I think that I will always grieve, The thoughts of what may. Until the time that we meet again, I shall hold her in my heart. I know I will always have the pain, But, Daphne Eve, You will always be The most important part.
