    Going Home
    as he held our daughter
    watching her die
    the tears ran steady
    streaming from his eyes
    her brothers and sisters
    watching in fear
    as she looks up and says
    daddy HE is here
    he just stares
    and then asks who
    can't you see HIM daddy
    HE is right beside you
    i know i'm dying daddy
    but i'm not afraid
    that's why HE is here
    to take me away
    tell mommy i love her
    and i'm going to be
    where she said i would
    when HE came for me
    as she closed her eyes
    and went with HIM
    he heard i love you
    riding on the wind
    at that moment he knew our little angel
    was GOING HOME

    In memory of Elizabeth Ann

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
