Babies and Kids Who Die Too Soon
October 27, 2005
Babies and kids who die too soon
Whose parents plant but hardly prune
Whose parents churn the how and why
Whose parents feel as though they die
Whose loved ones wonder what went wrong
Whose parents ponder what goes wrong
Whose void so deep and wide and long
Consumes the great and brave and strong
Whose siblings lose their closest friends
Whose families fail to make amends
Whose absence leaves us mad 'n blue
Whose life was lived and lost for the betterment of all mankind...
Babies and kids who die too soon
Whose lessons help us change our tune
Whose courage helps us battle strife
Whose passing helps us value life
Whose smile helps us curb our tears
Whose laughter helps us turn our fears
Whose honesty helps us yield our pain
Whose patience helps us place our strain
Whose stubborn passion helps us cope
Whose optimism gives us hope
Whose memories alone will see us through
Whose path and ours will meet anew
