We had one daughter
but she's in Heaven:
Mary Lois
She lived for a day,
Mary Lois
Mary Lois
All I know about her now
is her name:
Mary
Mary Lois
Perhaps if she had lived
enough to laugh
today she'd be a
merry
Mary Lois
Instead, after a brief
kiss to her head
we had to
bury
Mary Lois
Sixty years on and
there was nary a
nary a
nary a
secondary
nary a replacement
for the impossibly
merry
buried
Mary
Lois
