(A poem impressed by the quick lifetime of Archie Battersby)

Hearts break into items
Lives won’t ever be the identical
Your little one has left this merciless world
You search for who’s guilty
Your anger’s overwhelming
Your tears stream out of your eyes
You ask God for some solutions
He wont inform any lies
The reality is he was lacking
An angel in his realm
A younger little one with ambition
Somebody to take the helm
And so he selected younger Archie
Who he knew can be excellent
A boy filled with journey
A shiny sunbeam full of sunshine
And while grief overtakes you
Simply be grateful for the time
That Archie spent inside your life
Inside your love divine
The recollections, the comfortable instances
His good-looking smiling face
Not gone from you without end
However now in one other place
In Heaven with a brand new life
Only a fleeting breath away
And at all times there inside your hearts
The place he’ll at all times keep.
