Our Day In April (Part 4) Poem by Shelby Jasmin Estrada

A year has passed by and you are gone and our daughter is as beautiful as a blood stained white rose
Her black hair is now to her shoulders, her eyes have grown more intense, and her first word was fire

The way she looks at me when I'm sad is just like you looked at me
With your eyes in a mood that made me feel happy inside
You and Anne Marie are such alike

She makes me think about you all the time
I love her with all my life
As I did of you

On her birthday, on the sunniest day of spring, with all the rainbows slowly fading, I pray to the lord for bringing you into my life

And in the eve of the nightwith the wind gently blowing, and the flowers swaying, my tear drops fall into the river in our back yard, where I stand on the bridge thinking about you
As our day in April slowly fades away
