Three years has past so quick and sad
but I still think of you and the past
My strength failing as my tears run
my soul shatters from my torment
flashes of small headstones and empty faces
father carrying a little white coffin to a sad lament
and see myself run away out of the church,
out of the way,
from the coffin that bears my child's fate,
for I couldn't keep you close, I couldn't keep you safe
I tried so hard, to hold on, but you were taken, you were gone.
and every April marks your passing, and my cries amplifies, everlasting
and trapped in this moment is my haunting pain, i can never reach you ~
never again,
lost child of mine, who sleep beyond, in another world of which I long
I hope you are at peace amongst blossom trees,
and beautiful skies filled of lullabies
Then one day when my mortal coil releases,
me to the heavens and peaceful ethers
to you I will return, and hold you again,
but my dearest Hope until then,
I will walk this life and try to smile, as I knew you for a little while.
and although my soul aches for your presence
I know that I can carry on
because I know one day I will be with you
one day In heaven...

This broke my heart because I have three pictures as beautiful as Hope of my own, your pain matches mine and at time it just intensifies, doesn't it. It breaks my heart everyday. Right now reading your heart. It shatters.
Best to you sweetheart
