a poem

Day four


There is a wee girl 
who won't grow up at all. 
Did your angel bear her gently 
because she was so small? 
I wondered that you bothered, 
it's such a long long way, 
from Heaven to a parent's heart 
and then not let her stay. 
Forgive the tears and pleading 
and bitterness we've shown, 
we really did not understand 
that she was just a loan. 
We forgot in all the sweetness 
and joy from day to day, 
somehow we never really thought 
she'd have so short a stay.
