Antara, Lived A Life, For Just One Day.. Poem by Debra Masky

It was a bright sunny day
All smiles on our face for a baby was born
a rainbow in our life
the day's sunlight was ever so bright.

She was there lying in her crib
Ever so sweet and smiling
Her little fingers moved as you touched her
She looked at you with that innocence.

It was evening she took ill
We all stood by her side praying for her
Quick recovery
She was strong little girl
Fighting for her life

The next day -
A dark day for us with
a frown on our face
But with much hope in our heart
we prayed to the almighty
To make her well,
As the day's dust settled,
our crying turned day's sunlight into dark night

Crying and comforting one another
And hoping she would come through
The angel next day
Was taken away from us.

We were being torn apart as the cloud came falling down
For she lived a Life for just one day
a pleasure day
a grief day for us.

Although she is in heaven now with the angels,
She lives in our heart forever,
for she lived only for just one day.
That sweet little Antara may she rest in peace Amen!
