A Young Life

A young life lost,
And a mother's broken heart,
The consequences,
Of a life that was torn apart.
A young life ended,
By the cold cruel hand of fate,
No one could save her,
They tried but it was all too late.
A young life over,
Before it had a chance to grow,
But she lost direction,
Now the future's something she'll never know.
A young life taken,
From a desperate mothers love,
An impressionable mind,
She tried to reach that glittery star above.
A young life destroyed,
Her hopes were set way too high,
Dreams unattainable,
Nothing went right and she didn't know why.
A young life gone now,
She left believing they didn't care,
So lost and confused,
But in her mothers heart, she'll always be there...

Thank you so much for this. We lost a granddaughter when she was only 9 weeks, SIDs. I think of her all the time. She was born on Christmas day, at this time she would be 13. Again thank you.

Thank you for this one Jaime_S. I think many people can relate to your words, including myself. I only hope they were not prompted by the recent loss of some-one dear to you.

Well, it was 'inspired' by a loss of a young girl I knew of, but didn't know well...she took her own life after being bullied...
But, it's for all those who have lost a loved-one, for whatever reason, way too soon...
