Kelsey

A beauty from heaven

Taken away much to soon

Hair so fair and beauty so rare

Skin so soft to touch



You left for a better place

My heart was torn with your departure

My arms ache to hold you

You were absolute perfection



Our time together ended to swiftly

I dream of what would of been

I can see your smile, I see your dimples

I relive the moment of your birth over and over



If I close my eyes I can see you

If I listen closely I can hear you

If I inhale deeply I can still smell you

In my heart I can still feel you



You left so quietly, without notice

Why is the question that pains me so deeply

Sometimes I long to join you

But I'm still needed here



I eagerly await our reunion

Will you know me I wonder

Kelsey you are forever more safe in my heart

And words alone can not convey how much I LOVE YOU

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this piece for my grandbaby who left this world when she was 2 months 6 days old......sometimes the pain is so great.....and understanding why is a luxury I do not possess!

I have never lost anyone that close to me. I feel the pain of losing a loved one like that from this poem. I sense the love, the hurt, and the desire to have those good moments back before she left. The poem makes me see and feel like the loved one is right there with me, and I feel the loss too.
