Ariel

Post by penguin »

This probably still has a lot of editing and work to be done, but here it is.

Oh Ariel, sweet Ariel.
I love you oh so much.
I would have loved your little laugh,
your toes, your nose, your touch.

But Ariel, sweet Ariel.
I never knew you here.
I never got to touch your face
or wrap you up in lace.

And Ariel, sweet Ariel,
I love you all the same.
For the tragedy that happened here,
you were not to blame.

They held me down,
they gathered round,
and ready to begin,
They kicked and hit and held my wrists until it finally did end.

Oh Ariel, sweet Ariel,
If I had only known.
I could have sheltered you
With just a clue, but alas I had not one.

And Ariel, sweet Ariel,
That night I'll ne'er forget.
The night I lost my precious one,
Alone, afraid, perplexed.

My Ariel, sweet Ariel,
I saw you laying there.
Where did you come from, little one?
You just appeared out of thin air.

It took a minute,
but then I knew,
In all these funny feelings lately,
I'd been making you.

I couldn't deal with such a loss,
I ran away inside.
Someone else came out to fight,
I just wanted to survive.

I knew that if I kept you here,
that I would soon be found.
So I did the only thing I knew
and Just like that you're onward bound.

Oh Ariel, sweet Ariel,
looking back I regret this so.
I should have taken you and held you,
Buried you in a safe place, I know.

But Ariel, sweet Ariel
At that time I was just a child.
I did not have the mind to know,
What memories I'd file.

And Ariel, sweet Ariel,
I'm all grown up now dear.
And I can't help but think of you
When I hold my loved ones near.

Oh Ariel, sweet Ariel.
I hope you know my love.
I know you're in a better place,
In Heaven up above.

This is beautiful Penguin. Words cannot describe... I feel the emotion and love in it to your dear daughter. She'd be proud of you I'm sure.
