The Photo

I walk around...
Searching in an endless sea of people
Just for your face
I hold your photo close to my chest
My eyes begin to fill with tears
Searching for my baby girl
Searching through empty faces for only your face
I ask the faceless people
"Have you seen her?
This baby in the picture?
This baby whos smile could light up anyones world?
This baby whos laugh is like music to my ears?
Have you seen my beautiful baby girl?"
Everyone faceless person I ask
Shakes their heads without uttering a word
And walks away
Where have you gone my sweet baby?
I begin to walk around...
Searhing and endless sea of people
Just for your face...
Always searching...
I hold your photo close to my chest...

My daughter Dillen-Jean passes away March 10th, 20112 at three months old. This was written just a few days after I lost her. For those who read my poems most of them are about my sweet little angel.
