he wrapped
his tiny fingers around hers
held her hand tight
and said “Love you mummy”
he held her hand warm
placed it on his heart
pulled her closer
and said “love you my bride”
he held her tiny hands
placed them on his lips
kissed her softly
and said “Love you my princess”
he held her wrinkled hands
placed them on his forehead
kissed them gently
and said “miss you mother”
This is very sweet. And sad. Sweet-sad. Sad-sweet.

It has a lot of authors and editors it’s sort of like a school text book I think you may have to order a physical copy https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=2016+writers+market&tag=hydsma-20&index=aps&hvadid=42487162380&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8038699784771970503&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026194&hvtargid=kwd-138248795785&ref=pd_sl_4627izjnmf_b&gclid=CLXyw9bC8c4CFZRcfgodLi0PAg
