Caress my ashen hand-brittle and crisp
Speak gently to me in your toddler lisp
Mourn with your smile gaily
Dare to love my dear Hayley
Please forgive my succumbing breath by wisp

This is nice---a different view on death. This doesn't sound morbid, but rather chooses to celebrate the life of the loved one. The title works~

The title really caught my attention. I enjoyed reading this out loud because the rhyming is nice and fun to say. Good job and keep writing!

Awwww, I loved this. It reminded me of Luna Lovegood immediately after I read the title.
