Today I walk

Today I walk
I walk to the grave
the one I never thought I'd see.
My mind is empty my body numb
but I move forward.
I hear nothing, my eyes fixed on my path.
So sad
it came to this.
I shouldn't be the one walking here.
it shouldn't of been her.
No parent should ever have to face
their kid in a grave.
No parent should go through that pain.
Yet I do.
Today I walk
I place my flowers on her grave
swallow my pride and let
the tears flow.
a whisper in the wind
'do not cry'
I look up and then back
at the grave knowing
she is watching.
knowing my daughter is in a good place
Today I walk
and soon I'll walk
next to her.
