I sit in this silent room, look up and around,
I could still hear your cries,
Then I wonder if there was anything I could have done.
Should I have been more careful?
Should I have acted when you stopped crying?
Should I have paid more attention?
Should I have been more paranoid?
I sincerely apologies for letting you down...
If I could,
I'll ask for one more day,
One more look into your beautiful eyes,
One more touch,
One more bottle feed,
We may not understand why you left this earth so soon,
Or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye,
But little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died,
But that you lived...
And that your life gave us memories,
Memories we would cherish till we join you in heaven.
