Analysis of Poppy Seed



Small as a poppy seed
 love as big as the sea
Life was not yet ready for this baby to be

So special, so sweet, this broken heart will never be complete..
The love of a mother never goes..
for my angel had to be sent home,
 a baby your not yet to be..
Though you will always be.. my poppy seed.
