This poem is about my Daughter Malia who passed away in December.
" My Daughter Died!'



They told me today

That this is the end

I knew it was just a matter of when

You’ve been fighting for over 75 days

And we’ve seen how strong you are in so many ways

I guess your body can only fight for so long

God, this all just seems so wrong

It’s just not fair this is happening to you

You’re so young and you still have a lot to do

I try to pray for strength to do what’s right

It’s just I don’t want to quit

While you still want to fight

I keep hoping He will give me sign

Something to tell me

That she is still mine

I guess I just have to put her in

His hands

And pray that He will do all he can

I need her so much

But all I can do is cry

And pray that somehow

My baby won’t die

I try to understand

And get these thoughts out of my head

But something’s are worse

Than just being dead

How do I go on knowing she’s no longer around?

Then again how do I bury a daughter?

Six feet in the ground.
