"Ripped away"

Ripped away
Tiny feet, hands, toes
Skin so soft, sparkling eyes

Ripped away
Holding you, kissing you, rocking you
Reading books, singing songs
Dancing, learning,
teaching each other about life

Ripped away
Sorry I couldn't save you
Saddened I'll never see you grow
My dear sweet, beautiful, little flower

Ripped away
My heart
My soul

This is so beautiful, Brent. You and Jennifer are both wonderful writers, and it's good that you have that as an outlet.
