For Brianna Poem by Lesa MRK

In our hearts we are hurting;
Our thoughts are confused and unclear.
Tomorrow we shall awaken,
With an emptiness in our hearts,
When we remember you had to leave us,
And how sadly we had to part.

It will take much time and teardrops,
To ease each aching heart,
But maybe someday in the tomorrows,
The sorrow will come to part.
For each of us loved you so,
In our own special way.
And we will never forget,
How you brightened up our day.

Sometimes it appears so unfair,
That we did not have you that long,
Yet each moment we shared with you,
Gave us the courage to go on.
Somehow we'll each go on living our own lives,
Yet often we will stop to recall,
The beauty of your eyes.

(1990)
