Only 7 Years Old.

Another sad story

There she lied only 7 years old

A sweet little name on a stone so cold

Underneath the oak tree in the center row

I imagined her dress and pretty red bow

 

I cried at the thought of her parents mournful tears

as they marked their sadness without her for years.

If they only knew, she waited for them here.

I like the poem Its very sad but i like it

[*~Imperfectly Me~*]

This is so sad... It's beautiful and it flowed beautifully... The images you painted in this piece are very vivid. This is short yet very powerful, that takes tremendous talent to be able to do that... Great Job!

Awe, this is so sad. I can feel the pain in my heart. Powerfully written.

It is sad and tragic to lose a child, it feels as though your whole world has just caved in, there is no real words that can describe it, how much it hurts. Since I lost my son, I feel lost without him. This is a very well written poem and I agree a very powerful write. Thank you for sharing. Debileah

It is sad and tragic to lose someone, but to lose a baby so young, is a grief I can't even begin to understand. Once again a short yet powerful write.
