Array ( [sid] => 48017 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Baby's Breath [time] => 2004-05-18 02:33:30 [hometext] => [bodytext] => No one told me she would die today,
I turn my face up to the sky.
I choke up as I try to say,
So instead I choose to cry!

God has chosen to take her life away,
I wish it was me who did die.
I need to find another way,
My life is one big lie!

Sitting in the aftermath,
Listening to the children laugh,
The soldier’s death,
No baby’s breath,
Broken Hearted I am alone!

No one told me I’d go insane today,
Rain falls down from the sky.
I wake up wishing it was yesterday,
Maybe then she would not die!

This is a very astounding poem. How we face death determines in part what type of people we are. You are an upright man in my sight and that is saying alot.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
