My Angel

Why was it my child that had to be took away?
Why wasn't she allowed to stay? Just be with me for another day?
Why did she have to go?

Her smile and face lit up the room,
I held her in my arms for the minutes that remained,
I watched her slowly go and it left me in so much pain.
I was her mummy and couldn't help her fight,
I was the person who told her everything would be all right.
I gave her the love she needed and never imagined we'd part,
I remembered when she was well and smiling through my heart.

My precious little girl who I loved so much, she fought for her life but her body gave up,
I hated myself, I hated watching her go,
I held her in her final hours and rocked her as she closed her eyes.

At 6.45 her dad took her away, he took hold of her and told her every thing would be o.k,
He told her that I loved her and he'd keep her safe and one day we will be together.
