When A Child Dies Poem by Harry J. Couchon Jr

When A Child Dies



Nothing can bring tears to a man's eyes
Like the ones that fall when his child dies
If only he could have prevented it
Life's not worth living, if only he could quit

She brought such happiness into his life
Now that she's gone he's torn with strife
A child shouldn't be the first to die
Leaving a father crying and asking God why

In his eyes she could do no wrong
Her death left him alone and trying to be strong
She was his little girl, his source of pride
He misses her so much and he's empty inside

My daughter, my angel, death took you away
But in my heart and memories you live everyday
I know that someday we'll be together again
God please give me the strength to go on until then

Oh how very sad, and I know it must have been very difficult for you to write... Filled with many many tears and questions to which I am afraid there is no answer to... Silently your heart now begins to live a life without the one thing that mattered the most.... So deeply sorry for your loss... Bonnie

I hope you have the strength to go on cause I'm sure you mean the world to someone even if you don't think so. People don't express there feeling for some people there gone and seeing people when there dead can push you over the edge, but I hope it doesn't push you to close to edge we're falling cause you might push someone a little to close to edge cause someone might love you as much as you love your little girl just remember that.
