April 7th she came into my life, a small seed nestled in her mother's warmth. She quickly began to bud, as fast as the trees and plant life started to shine. Sunshine lingered all around, as my heart unthawed from the barren storms I had encountered months earlier.
Lauralynn was my rainbow of hope, as I set my eyes on her delicate smooth skin, creasing her sweet cheekbones. A touch of her tinny fingers sent chills throughout my frame. I stared helplessly into her soothing blues eyes, before looking to my wife.
My daughter would not have the pleasurse of getting to know her mother. For her mother the only light she'd see is heaven's. April's flowers would surround her as she laid beneath our feet.
Her mom held her moments before passing, as tears trickled down our cheeks. The memory bitter and sweet replays in my mind, as I lay in bed alone.
My vision is blurred from crying, and the injureis I endured the night of our tragedy. Today is like all the April mornings so far full of life, and loss.
Life is a cherished thing, and should never be taken lightly. Love life and live life to the fullest, and make each April morning a new begining.
Seed of life,
New hope and prosperity,
Seed of victory,
Blossom and shine,
Seed of time,
Lighten up our life,
Be our rainbow,
Through thy strife
