For My Daughter

BY Maria Scarpello

~~~To live or die~~~
Living in this eternity,
I think of the love
you gave to me.
~~~

U changed my life
from the bottom up,
you made me better
I realized I wasn't so tough.
~~~

You're an angel now
watching over me.
You're my daughter I cannot touch,
my daughter I can no longer see.
~~~

But still I love you
just the same,
and still I hold you
even only if in my mind's frame.
~~~

I'll never lose
this love I hold,
even though your body
is now lifeless and cold.
~~~

Your soul remains
full of the short life you lead.
Making everyone smile
keeping two steps ahead.
~~~

I know you're still here
watching over me,
so until I follow you,
my angel you're free!
~~~
