Little Goodbyes

My small child looked up at me
tears running down his small
Stricken face, "Mommy, why is
Daddy not getting up, huh?"

I gulped, trying not to cry
And put on a sad smile as I
Explained to my child, "Honey
daddy is going to be asleep 
For a very long time, he's dead."

As my child stood on his tippy
Toes looking for a way to wake
Up his daddy, my silent tears
Rolled down my red cheeks

I picked up my child and held
Him tightly to my chest as we
said for our last time, our
Little goodbyes!

    Wow thats very heartfelt and sad children are so pure and to have to try to explain to them about their daddy passing would be so very hard wonderfully written
