It's the thought
Of that gentle grip
And sweet smile
That tears me in two
I still hear your giggles
Your childish laugh
And then your cries
When I was out of your view
For just a moment
I remember putting my arms
Around you
And scooping you up
Wiping your little brow
Telling you
Everything is all right
Well don't you feel alone
Never alone again
Your journey on this plane
Was not meant to be
But take my love
To guide you on
Just look back on your voyage
And I'll be there
Catch and keep my smile
Like I keep yours
The dark shadows have gone
The shining, the twinkling
Of the light
Is there for you
To follow
And I will help
To guide you
Your journey is not endless
My love is
I only wish
You could have stayed
Long enough to understand
How to say
Goodbye mummy and daddy

I've never seen it before...not that I recall. However, it is a tender piece...not the best I've seen on the subject and a little too obvious for getting the strongest impact...this is because the poet told us the ending before we got there...not the formula for long lasting memory.
It was nice though

Really nice. The best poetry comes from heartache and I'd guess this was yours. If it is I'm sorry for your loss.
If not you must have a well of empathy for the pain of others.
