"My Little Rosebud"

Thought's of you are carried
deep within my heart
Missing you so my Rosebud
my Little sweet-tart-

Remembering the day you were born
I heard an angel blow a brass horn-
Your mama said what should I call
this tiny girl? I said how about
Michele with one L-
I watched you grow year by year
Each one you became more dear-

I always called you Rosebud
because you Like my garden
I would nuture and Love-
Your pretty petals I could see
from the time you were a baby-

My Sweet Niece always smileing and gay
Love to sing and dance and lots
of fun games you would play-
Always skiping to me with a kiss
and a hug so geniunely sweet
A time in my heart I will always keep-
I miss you so my heart is sad and
heavy as clay but I know we will
see you again someday
God will make a way-

So don't worry Michele, my belle
as I know you sometimes do
Our family will once again mend
Remember God has the glue-
I will keep faith for me and you-

Come back my Rosebud spring is here
Oh how I've missed you my little dear-
You've been covered under the
snow for many months
It's time to bloom
Spread your cheer, come back to my
garden get rid of the gloom-

Our family misses you so...
Michael and Matthew too
Our hearts are broken and very
blue without you-

I hope someday soon we will see
your beautiful little faces
A time my heart embraces-
So keep your chin held high
If you miss me just Look to the sky
and keep that twickle in your eye-

No distance or time can keep us apart
You're always near in my heart-
You will always be Rosebud to me
Here you can be yourself happy and free-
I'm still here in the same place
Waiting for your return with a
smile and a warm embrace-

You know my Rose-bud, Love's a stong thing
It's not wrapped in a box with a ribbon bow
It does gleam but something that we should
always show-it's our hopes and dreams-
it's a beautiful glow, you have it I know-

God gave it to you and me
Like the flowers in a garden to nuture,
love and oversee-
Remember nothing can break our ties that bind
Just like this poem we... will always rhyme-
The day will come we'll be together again
It will be pure bliss-
Until then you, I shall miss-

So when you go outside at night and
look at the moon
Try to remember I love you and hope to
see you some day soon-
Always you will be My Little Rosebud-
and always have my undying Love-
