LOST CHILD, by                    
First Line: In the secret garden of my heart
Last Line: Until my yearning prayer shall take me to the grave.
Subject(s): Mourning; Bereavement


In the secret garden of my heart
I lay my treasured memories of you;
Never to be shared, only to be breathed
And cradled deep within my aching breast.
You were love and purity and sunshine,
The very flame that warmed my will to live.
I now must wait, in utter desolation,
Until my yearning prayer shall take me to the grave.
