Analysis of Angel



Trapped: helpless to grow.
Mom felt Your pain.
Pray You did not suffer.
Dad was powerless,
Hurt knowing I could not help.
Never had a chance, so fragile.
Were You a Boy or a Girl.
Never got to see Your Beautiful Face,
Or hold You in My Arms.
In an instant You Were gone.
Never got to say I Love You.
In Heaven I pray You Know I Love You.
