Mama/Papa

The little girl was covered in a
Warm blanket of love
Her mother and father flew up above
Peacefully like doves
Heaven called them home too soon
Saddened with a heart of gloom
Aunt Barbara cared for body and soul
Saved her from the freezing cold
Back from the blizzard of death
Sheltered and loved like a bird's nest

by Donna Solitario
