For My Daughter Stacey Poem by Geofff Payne

To have a child is a wonderful gift,

To have her taken is pain beyond compare.

To have a second is a blessing,

To listen to outsiders who say go away is stupidty.

To miss her growing up seems so easy at the time,

To hear her pain it caused is the hardest to bear.

To see her happy face is a beautiful site,

To miss it all these years I will not forgive.

To have you back in my life is a wonderful thing,

To lose you this time would be too much.

To have you give me a chance is better than words can say

To the future I look and will not let you down.
