I tried to love you,
God knows it was tough.
I couldn’t even look in your eyes,
Your young life already rough.

But I just couldn’t do it.
No matter how hard I try.
I’d see him in your face,
And that only made me cry.

It took forever for me to touch you,
To love you as my own.
I kept thinking about him,
And felt scared and all alone

You need me to be there,
To pick you up when you fall.
To scare a way the monsters,
Hold you while you bawl.

I love your daddy, baby girl.
You’re his gift that will last forever.
I have to love and cherish you,
I guess its better late than never.

I know I miss him angel,
But I have you to hold on to.
Your daddy won’t be coming back,
So sad, but it is true.

At first I couldn’t hold you,
Now nothing can stop love.
I love my sweet little darling,
And your daddy, our angel up above.

Wow, What a sad poem.  
I can't even imagine how it would feel to have something like that happen.  Regardless of whether it was true or fictional.  I think that you captured the emotions and feelings well.

Good Luck,
AngelShell.

This poem isn't about me personally.  It was the way things were with my best friend back home.  Until she overcame her grief, I practically raised her daughter for about 5 months.  Everthing worked out in the end and all is good now.

A very good poem, but so sad...
It's hard to imagine something
so sad happening, even though it can...

Deeply sad and touching work.  What a horrible thing to go through.
