Poem
One day your life is a garden Your family fills you with pride You can smile at the face of an angel You can smile watching her fly What we have is a stolen moment A fragile balance lasting only so long The fear that we fear the most Can mean the end to a beautiful song And it can take your soul And it can stop your heart And it can never be the same again Take time to remember the wonder Relive her triumphs and cherish her life Share your tears with the people you love Feel
