Had to Let Her Go

Sweet Katie, seven years old...

~~~

A Plea

We had a little Kate-Kate

We had to let her go

I am so lonely for her now

Try not to let it show

I hurt so bad, so bad inside

Feel like I’m gonna die

I miss her oh so bad, so bad

Please God, oh tell me why

You took my baby up to You

I know she’s by your side

But oh God, give me comfort

Some peace that will abide

Tuesdays are unbearable

That’s when the pain is worse

Fridays are unbelievably sad

That’s when we buried her

Oh God, please God, oh hear me

I am crying out to You now

I am so sad, so achingly sad

Bereavement is not proud

We had a little Kate-Kate

We had to let her go . . .

for katie by mom
