Babygirl

Babygirl 1978 (Naples)



Shauna veronica

Hear the melody of the harmonica

Heaven is throwing you a party Babygirl

Look at you glistening by the waterfall

Rain is prohibited up here, you don’t need an umbrella

Dance my sweet princess, dance like Cinderella

 

Spread those wings

And shake your dress

Go crazy, make a mess

Be that sculpture made of ice

Everyone's invited in your paradise

 

The pain is finally over, you can rest your tummy

My dear angel it's me speaking, your mommy

I'm so broken in despair

What happened to you just wasn’t fair

The system failed you with their behaviour

All I wanted was to be your saviour

Often times I can't breathe, I can't sleep

Feeling helpless in a room so weak

When I first heard the news, I fell to my knees

I smashed plates, now my heart bleeds

You shouldn’t have been in care in the first place

Now all we can do down here is sing amazing grace

And remember.......

The 5th of November

When you were born a star

My first, my joy, my avatar

 

 

Now I stand without you

Gripping on a single rose

I'm not ready for those curtains to close

But I know you're in good hands

Enjoying all those live bands

From soul to reggae

At heavens gateway  

 

Shauna? Life will never be the same for me

My only comfort is that now, you ARE free

I'll try to be strong

When I play our song

When I hear the melody of you and I

Remember this is goodnight, not goodbye

In God I trust

Because he gave me (YOU) my angel dust

He is the paper, I am the pen

Rest in peace sweet girl, AMEN.

About this poem

This poem was written by me for a dear friend who sadly lost her 16 year old daughter. I too am a mother and I felt her deepest pain so I decided to write this for her.
