I'm sorry for your friends loss. Losing a child is the worse.
"Lucy in the Sky with Damonds" a song by the Beatles... good title. Specially since her name was Lucy and she is in heaven.
Beautiful poem. Well done.

What a poignant poem. You have really dealt a hand of loss here. If I were your fiend Katy, I would feel particularly warmed and comforted by the last stanza:
She's with you every day
No need to say goodbye
Just know someday you'll play
With Lucy in the sky

Jessica, what a beautiful tribute to your friend and her daughter who left far too soon but is bound by the remarkably elastic bond of love that never looses its grip on one's soul.a great addition to your APRIL challenge.

Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, that was beautiful. And how tragic - my condolences to your friend Katy and her family. That is the most grievous loss one could imagine.
A wonderful dream-like imagery and amazing visuals. I particularly enjoyed this one:
Her stars will light your path
And brighten every mile
The wind echos her laugh
Each time she sees you smile
An incredible paean to the little Lucy. I am touched by this poem and am grieving with her family.

Condolences on such a tragic loss. There are no words that can suffice. The poem was very well written, and I hope that writing it offered some small comfort.

So precious and lovely, Jessica. I'm sure this means the world to Katy and her family. it is a treasure in this life to have a friend who understands such a loss. We lost a granddaughter, Esther Grace, so we know. Perhaps she's playing with Lucy.
Sending you my very best today as always.
