Tamsin

It wasn’t supposed to be like this

Our first hello, being our final kiss

To never hear you cry or laugh

To wash your hair, or give you a bath

It was supposed to be all happiness and light

Instead we faced our darkest night

The demons that we had to slay

Inflicted wounds so deep they’ll always stay

Through you we have known intense sorrow and joy

Great Braveness & strength we’ve had to employ

So easy to have given in to despair and gloom

Tears of blood were wept from your mummy’s womb

We long to hear your cries at night

To see your face in bright sunlight

To hold your hand as you walk along

To beam with pride as you sing your first song

Instead our heavy hearts have been broken

Our empty arms to you will always remain open

We long to never let you go

But goodnight now beautiful Tamsin Rainbow
