A baby’s first breath
The first time you see it’s face
First word, filled with joy
A toddler’s old, favourite ragged toy
First day at nursery, first day at school
Climbing trees, grazed knees
Time passes fast
Last day of primary
Gets bigger, older, wiser
Last day of school
Time to fend for their self
First job, flying start
Meets soul mate, starts a life
Top of the world,
Time of her life
Lives life to the max
They get older, still in love
Content and happy until bad news ruined it all
Cancer, it said.
Her world comes crumbling down
She’s been through so much
Her time came to an end
She lays down, surrounded by loved ones
Peacefully closes her eyes
A slow, dark music
A lady crying into a handkerchief
A dark, wooden coffin being brought down
With a note of top of a reef saying
I Love You x
