Don't Forget Me

Cry for me not
My little angel
It's my time
My time to leave

Be strong little one
Be strong for me
I'm always there
Whenever you need

Don't give up
My darling
Just follow through
It's what you should do

Be good for me
My baby girl
Don't get in trouble
To me you mean the world

Stay safe my little one
Stay safe for me
I love you honey
Don't forget me

This has so much emotion...I, the perfectionist, can only think of one thing: do you mean angel, not angle?

To be honest, it doesn't take away from the poem's beauty at all. The last line is very powerful.

Thanks
