Tucking my little angel into bed
Tonight`s ordeal best left unsaid
Tomorrow I tell my angel that her halo has quietly gone
Mommy won't be coming back, succumbing to the coma by dawn
How do you tell your daughter that?
I need all the help I can get, stuck in an emotional trap
Cindy plays with her doll, my agony temporarily diffused
I suppose I don`t completely lose
I wish not to alter my child's life
Overwhelmed in her resemblance to my wife
"Baby doll, mommy departed for a better place"
I hold her close as the tears stream down her face
A forgotten moment that cannot escape my mind
Time and time again I`m trying and I`ve tried
Long ago I recognized she was my halo too
The tears tumble down me also...how I do miss you
She adds a rare smile to my aging face
Imagine a flower without water and its matching vase
Oh God, won't she be coming back?
I scream and scream but my heart will only crack |
