A Paradise Lost
She lay on the floor, lifeless cold
A daughter's paradise forever lost
How I wish she walks past that door
Embrace me, take me to a tranquil shore
May once again affection shine through her eyes
Cradle me in lap through the dark skies
Just once again cuddle away my fears
Make a blanket of love, a bag full of cheers
One more time hold that turbulent storm
Ringing in my ears 'Be brave, stay strong'
This one time pick me up as I fall
Whisper 'No time to sorrow, take stock of the goal'
How realisation dawned with a serrated knife
Ephemeral is spring, so is life
