Cold morning as my phone rang
Cold realization and my heart sank
The worst of messages conveyed
In word and image, my child laid
Life is so fleeting, so precious , young
Stolen in an instant , her life was done
29 years gone like a shadow struck by light
Her presence was so brutally removed from my life
In that early morning call, pain was relayed
A deadly truth was given…
In an instant of connection, I was made empty
As my life forever changed
A hope was given
Then taken in the same breath
As the truth revealed
A death had occurred
My child was
Gone
