Well she turned 16 months today

I watch her grow with such happiness

But, 16 months since you went away

Leaves too much space for sadness

 

Though a mother’s love is strong

Keeps the day full of new adventures

Doing this without you feels so wrong

Others notice, I’m no pretender

 

My first sight of her I knew

She was sent to help me cope

Three weeks before is when I lost you

In her a place I would find hope

 

She sings, she dances and smiles so

Photographs all cover the walls

Memories you and I shared come and go

I remember our smiles, then mine falls

 

This daughter of mine, so full of life

Keeps me going with a purpose

At times the bitterness, sharp as a knife

Guides me to reality: a compass

 

Finally I understand and see

For us, reality is this

Death of a grandmother made hearts bleed

But the birth of my daughter brought bliss
