A Life
by Rick HamrickYou came
You stayed but briefly
It's so sad
You can't imagine the pain
The heartache
That overwhelms your mom and dad
You left us, all that loved you
Without your smiling face
And the grief will linger
All our lives
As you journey on
A Life
A Life lived well
You are loved
As a baby should be loved
You return that love
Like a baby does
No demands
without a care
As you leave us, please keep this in mind
You are deeply missed
You are loved
As a baby should be loved
You return the love
Like a baby does
No demands
without a care
As you leave us, please keep this in mind
You are sorely, sorely missed
Little baby
A life
A life lived well
