Analysis of Life After Death



Life after death.
This is something I’ve had to accept.

I know you think of me.
You heard me weep.

You heard me in heaven above.
So You sent me your grandson.

I wished for a little piece of you.
You sent me a reminder of you.

My consolation to a heart that’s been
broken.
I promise to give this new baby my devotion.

I promise to watch over him.
The cycle of life has not been broken .
