"To My Daughter"

My daughter's daughter had an illness, that had no cure. 

Her lonely days and endless nights were tragic and a nightmare to endure.

She needed a miracle, that was no doubt.  But with courage and fortitude, she never gave up the bout.

It seemed I had no power; it seemed I was no help, to put my little girl's heart back the way it once felt.

I cannot heal, I cannot mend your broken heart.
Though we pretend that all is well and all is right 
a veil then comes in the night.

You do not speak, you want to scream, because your baby is just a dream.
I want to help. I want to fix this emptiness that seems transfixed. The sores are open and the wounds are deep. I only hope, I am there when you weep.

I will be there when you need to yell and scream.  To hold your hand and just to say I am here.  I am there, I am everywhere, for us to share a tear, a cry but never, never say good-bye.

I love you more than you can know, so please never, ever let me go.
I wish it was better, I wish it was right, but please, oh! please do not give up the fight.

You have another daughter and a spouse.
They love you and want you and need you "whole" in the house.

So please be there to heal and share; so you all can return from this road of despair.

I want to say "Daddy and I are proud of you, and your spirit and strength."
Although you feel as if you are battered, remember you'll always be special to the people that mattered.

Please do not be angry and please do not be mad, because Daddy and I are also very SAD.

Hugs and Kisses,
Mom
