gone

by @afflatus

life is fleeting one moment, you see her eyes they are fighting to stay bright and then she's whisked away the pain consumes her body she can no longer move her eyes become dull and tired but she has been trying she tried until the very end beautiful child you were too wonderful to remain in this world that is why the heavens took you that is what i want to believe beautiful baby you are a child of the stars for you are radiant and ethereal you will be missed you will be remembered this earth has been blessed by your presence you made my life a happier one the ground mourns without your weight on it the sky cries without your happy grin this world has become a more desolate place we love you dearly, and i keep a part of you with me and now that your pain has ended, sweet child we hope you have finally found peace
