She came for only a brief moment,
and drifted away...
A brief flash in time,
She was not meant to stay.
Like a falling star
to be seen at a glimpse,
and then disappear.
A small miracle not meant to be
A life to go unlived...
Yet her existence has altered all of me.
She came into my heart,
taking with her the dreams
and hopes of tommorow,
Taking away that special part of my soul.
She is always with me,
Always loved and forever missed.
Like a beautiful sunrise
eclipsed by the clouds.
She has made me who I am this very day.
My life is what is left
Since she was taken away...
My Dad is a survior,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear him crying
when all others are in bed.
I watch him lay awake at night
and go to hold his hand.
He doesn't know I'm with him
to help him understand.
But like the sands upon the beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my Dad,
who thinks of me each day.
He wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise.
But through heaven's open door
I see tears flowing from his eyes.
My Dad tries to cope with my death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows him
Knows it's his way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving Dad
through heaven's open door...
I try to tell him
Angels protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help him...
Or ease the burden he bearrs.
So if you get a chance, talk to him...
And show him that you care.
No matter what he says....
No matter what he feels.
My surviving Dad has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal.
Oh, mother, my mother
I touch your tears,
invisable fingers soothing your skin.
I know you think of me so often
in the day, in the night, in your dreams.
Going into an empty nursery
knowing I'll never be there,
but I am... in your heart,
in your soul, I shall always be,
for you gave so unselfishly of yourself.
Inside of you, you created such a world for me...
a world of laughter, of love, of sadness, of sorrow.
Every emotion people come to know,
you shared with me.
And even though I may never feel
your arms around me
I feel your heart beating, like a lullaby,
singing me to sleep.
And your spirit giving a safe haven, already nurturing me, preparing me for things to come.
But sometimes the journey of life pulls souls apart.
And yes, I had to go on to another place.
I wish I could stay,
wish this was a decision I could make
and I know you do too.
Know this wherever you are:
I will always remember that yours was the first love, the first joy, the first soul I will ever know, You gave me courage to go on in my journey,
I hope I can do the same for you.
Your heatbeat will always
call me to you...
Today I sent a kiss to heaven
I'm encouraging all of you to try
For if I have shared this with you
You have had a child to die
The kiss came from deep down inside
And I know it truly was received
Right after I sent my kiss
A calming breeze surrounded me
Not only that, a wind chime rang,
From where I do not know
But I felt my child smile at me
And say she loves me so
Take a kiss with your hands
And look up in the sky
Release the kiss with loving care
Now please try not to cry
Once your kiss is off to them
To Heaven's gate above
Just look for any single sign
Of your child's precious love
I felt my kiss return to me
And yours will do the same
It may not be from a breeze or chimes
But in the trees, the sun or rain
Now smile up to your little child
In the clouds above
But most importantly tell
Your child that they are always loved...
