song for Emma Joe Walsh

For Joe's Daughter Emma 1971-1974
There's a feeling I get when I look to the sky
As if someone is watching,
Someone hears every word.
We are filled with regrets, it was such a short time,
But we told Him we loved you, hoping somehow He heard.
We hope He heard
You were with us for a while and He took you,
and it made your mama cry.
I can see it in her eyes, there's a question as to why.
And after all this time still I find that I'm without an answer.
Good Bye. Bye love.

Oh Joe the pain is felt profoundly in this music. God hears you. Please know God waits for you to let him help you in the struggle. We are never alone with Him guiding us. Acts 2.

Gives me goose pimples allover when I listen to it.

Ohhh Joe….God heard you…don’t ever doubt it. So sad. I lost a grandson at birth. You will see Emma again in Heaven if you are a Christian…..Emma is waiting for you. 💔🙏❤️✝️🇮🇱

"I was married at the time and living in Boulder. My wife was taking our four-year-old daughter to school and some lady ran a stop sign and creamed our car. And I lost my daughter. And it was gory and all that. To help with closure, I wrote this song for her. And over the process of the next year, my wife and I, we just weren't strong enough to get through the grief and so we separated and eventually got divorced. But I met a girl in Los Angeles, and my song "Help Me Through the Night" was to her about being there for me. Because I was a wreck. But she was there so that I could grieve Emma. Both of those songs were on my next album, So What. I called it that because I had this "so what" attitude. I was angry. I was really mad at God. And I felt that was a great reason to drink. "Poor me. God took my daughter away." And so I got an attitude, like, "This is the worst thing that's ever happened. I don't care about anything." Just to justify that it was okay to get screwed up." from Rollingstone.com
