Forever Young Poem by Keith Foley

Forever young will you remain,
can't quite fit this in my brain!

Never again will I see you smile,
watch you giggle or talk awhile.

The depth of my love I did not know;
My world caved in with this crashing blow.

Oh, dear God how could this be,
she living her final days with Thee?

Sixteen years, not near enough,
the rest of my life: Sad, Rotten, Tough.

I really feel she is doing well,
It's the rest of us going through living hell.

This nightmare, will it ever end?
I must awake to make things good again!

So long my fair and precious child.
Let your heart run free, loose - wild!
