How Is My Angel Tonight?

by Alauna's Mother, Pam

Here is a poem I wrote for my daughter Alauna Jean Gay

Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998

Star light star bright
How is my angel baby tonight?
Oh baby I miss you so
Why did you have to go?
My heart feels broken in two
Oh baby how I miss you
Will the pain ever go away?
Or is it here to always stay?
I don't understand why you had to leave
While I sit here and grieve
You were so beautiful to me
Oh if only your pretty little face I could see
You were so sweet
A little blessing I got to meet
You were seven weeks old when you died
Oh baby do you know how much I've cried?
Will the nightmare ever end?
Now that you are gone with the wind?
I didn't want it to be true
When the doctor said there was nothing they could do
S.I.D.S. is like a thief in the night
It just isn't right
You should have been able to grow old
Then this story would never have had to been told
Oh baby why did you have to go?
Your mommy, daddy, and sisters love you so
You are so missed
And should be here to be hugged and kissed
We love you
And are so sorry there was nothing we could do
