Can someone Please help me with these chains?

Kayte's Sonnet

Oh, heavy heart why must you beat my soul

My eyes downcast see shadows of the past

Hope is gone, my praying has played no role

To ease her pain and beg her life to last

As I gaze into these past reflections

I'm Holding her hand, I'm needing her smile

Joys buried deep, there's no resurrection

While the chains of grief hold my heart on trial

The Brave Heart She was, kept hidden her pain

The letter she left, tears want let me touch

Oh, damn, heavy heart, my soul you have drained

My Sweet Little Girl, I Miss You So Much

You Fought till the end, Your Courage was sure

You Fought for the world, still seeking the cure

Please C/C My Little Girl Earned the Best, I owe it to Her.

It should be better, a tear fell on every word.

Update:

My daughter died fighting a very rare liver cancer one year ago today. Her, my oldest son and my wife went with her to Chenie India at their Global Hospital, where my son gave her half of his liver as a transplant to save her life, the transplant worked but she died of complications. Why India? Our wonderful government would not allow it, even though her brother was an approved donor match. So much for freedom of choice!!!!!

Update 2:

Is Fate God's Autopilot? I wrote this and the moment that it was submitted, Our resident Sonnet man, Questor, posted his sonnet 130. such a beautiful answer to Kayte's Sonnet. and not 5 minutes later my wife shared my Little Girl's letter. This is my Night of Emotions.

Update 3:

I am aware that I may need to add further explanation in regards to the rules set by the "Milan criteria" which includes hepatic fibrolamellar carcinoma and the difficulty in gaining access to a facility that does resections and Living donor Liver transplants.

I would also like to remove my remarks pertaining to my country's rules as per the FDA.

Though it is difficult for me to understand the denial of last Hope opportunity, even though all parties were in agreement.

I Thank every one of You Wonderful people for all of your kind thoughts.

I understand I am not alone, there are many people all over this small planet who have gone through and are going through sickness and Heartache, may we all continue to hold and support one another. This Love is what We all Need.

That should have been Chennai India, pardon the misspell.

    Here - a different chain to clasp

    Love helps you ~ that I see

    Yet, I`m not you, cannot quite grasp

    Such pain`s enormity.

    Stay linked to us ~ We`ll try to ensure

    Your spirit will not fail

    As this day a year ago closed one door

    Thus raising a false veil.

    I wish my wisdom stronger

    And yours less raw yet unconcealed

    Stay, you have our loyalty

    No compensation ~ yet love we yield.

    There`s nothing words might do to heal

    That hollow left unfilled

    But know that you have allies here ~

    To your heart, tilled as a field.

    If we might sow some solace friend

    Or help you through this ~ ask ~ we'll give

    For this we need each other

    That you and we, linked, may continue to live.

    I wish you much ~ some care`s warm touch

    Amidst the memories commanding your hurt.

    I`m sure I write for most of us ~

    We are hearing you ~ on full alert.

    I`ll send my private mail for you

    Fell free to use it if it`s needed;

    You are still here ~ we care about you ~

    We`re friends you`ve attracted and ~ seeded.

    I hope for you relinquishing

    of all that cannot be changed

    Mr Ripple ~ whoever you are

    Come, join our hands ~ an open chain.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    May Kayte be resting in active peace. God Bless. I am so sorry friend.

    OMG I am so very sorry, but if I am correct in my assumption I have communicated that to you before. I want you to keep a hard copy of this poem somewhere so that even if all electronics are wiped out, there will be a relic for future explorers to find long after we are gone. It is so very human, mortal, and emotive, the type of poetry tat is closest to my heart. NO parent should ever outlive their child, it breaks me for a moment every time I think about it. but I have nearly 10 years of experience n grieving that allows me to say that we can make it through and even have fulfillment and hope in life again, and not feel as if moving forward is betraying the memory of the lost.

    Beautiful, from your heart and you convey your pain at her loss exceptionally well. Your Kayte, I assure you, would want that you also to remember her with joy in your heart. Let's have a bit of yin/yang Mr Ripple. Your next sonnet, would you indulge me and write one telling me of the utter joy she brought you while she lived? Thank you.

    As I answered you also added your additional details, so please forgive me for butting in on your first anniversary and the dedication to your daughter. You say a tear fell on every word as you wrote it and I believe you my friend. I can feel your grief this morning. Your Kayte would be proud of the work you have put into this beautiful sonnet. I pray that you can find some comfort on this day.

    Mr. Ripple

    This was written with passion, respect, honor, clearly a personal

    ensemble of love and sorrow for a lost daughter. I cannot even

    imagine the pain, can only tell you sir that she was fortunate to

    have you, and you her.

    Written well, a free verse per se with no set meter but a good

    roll to it and a nice rhyme pattern. This is secondary.

    This is a very sad poem but at the same time very beautiful statement of your heart .

    Thank you .The hardest part about writing an answer is when a poem is written from someone 's heart .. And there are moments in this poem when my words are not enough .

    There is too much pain expressed in this

    to offer what might seem like platitudes.

    It is heart, gut wrenching. The loss of a child

    is far more than the loss of one last kiss.

    This is worthy of every tear shed, for every young one gone too soon. The impact of this will linger for a very long time.

    Heartbreaking. I'm hoping you haven't been through this kind of pain.

    Each word tells of that raw, gnawing heartache that only love for a child will bring.

  • 8 years ago

    Except for the soulless patoot who is browbeating you (the Greek), we all share in your grief. Your sonnet was emotionally affecting.

    This is a stunning poem. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child, especially when the problem in soluble.

  • 8 years ago

    Others have responded much better than I can. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort with your remaining family.
