Darkest Day Poem by Sabrina Perry

That day I'd woken up
I stayed laying in my bed
there was not a moment of silence form the voices
screaming at me in my head.

But the next thing I knew
the most important voice was what I could hear
it was my darling little princess Isabella
whispering good morning in my ear.

I opened up my eyes to see her
but there's was nothing, just the brightness of sunshine
where must she have gone to
that bundle of joy of mine.

Then I had remembered
there is nowhere she could be found
unless I drive to the cemetary
and look at the tomb stones all around.

It's almost been 2 years now
since my Bella past away
it's still a little blurry
on what happened on that darkest day.

You see, there is a forest not far from here
when I was little that's where I'd play
I turned my head for just a second
and that's when she slipped away.

I figure she was just playing
untill I heard her scream for help
her innocent voice begging mama to save her
no words could describe how helpless I felt.

So I searched and I searched
'till I couldn't search anymore
I calapsed to the cold wet ground beneath me
ignoring my bodies aches and sores.

Although my body was no longer moving
I continued to searched with my ears and eyes
her small voice was so faded
and I looked to the skies.

In about a half hour
this day would turn to night
I only wished Isabella the strength
to fight for her short life.

It's not to day she didn't live it though
or that she didn't help me live mine
though without her here making everything okay
it's hard to say that everything is fine.

So as I look upon my empty room
crying in the sun
I hope we will reunite one day
beyond the gates of heaven.
