I Buried My Daughter Today

(Sympathy Poems – Funeral Poems - Daughter)

I buried my daughter today

My soul burns red with pain

No longer will I touch her face

Or caress her skin again

I buried my daughter today

God, what have I done wrong

To have her stolen from my arms

When my faith in you was strong

I buried my daughter today

Thank God I have another

I couldn’t walk this path alone

Every breath is a struggle

I buried my daughter today

She was just a baby

Searing, ripping, tearing ache

My emotions overcome me

My other now a mother this eve

To God above, how I pray

These words, by her not repeated

I buried my daughter today
