If only you could ask me <br />Just how I feel right now. <br />I’d write this letter to you <br />Telling you just how. <br /> <br />The last time that I saw you <br />That smile upon your face. <br />Those tiny little fingers <br />Your gown of pure white lace. <br /> <br />Precious little heartbeats <br />That struggled to survive. <br />Born to live in heaven <br />You cannot be revived. <br /> <br />I knew that you had parted <br />As I felt your spirit fade. <br />I found the dark red roses <br />Resting where you laid. <br /> <br />I know you left with angels <br />Rugged up so very warm. <br />The roses said ‘I love you’ <br />And now it’s nearly dawn. <br /> <br />O infant child of mine take care <br />And watch down over me. <br />I’ll bring the dark red roses <br />When I come home to thee.<br /><br />Cheryl Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/roses-for-a-child-lost/
