Don’t Blink



Blink



You turn your head,



Just for a minute.



She’s gone.







You will never see her smile again,



Never see her get married.



Never see her have her own babies.







She was just there



And now gone



Forever, just in one blink.







You could go on forever in the “ If Only Land,"



If only you had been watching her,



If only you held her hand.



No use.



She’s gone



And never will be back.







Her birthday was today



Turning six,



August, 23.



Sweet, sweet girl



Blue eyes as bright as the sky



With a smile that made anyone laugh.



Now the only person that will hear that contagious laugh,



Or that sweet smile,



Or the way she turns your day upside down



Is the Lord.







In heaven now she rest,



Now I will impatiently wait until I meet her,



Up in heaven







Just in a blink of an eye



No more, no less



My girl is gone.
