My Precious Child

Life without you isn't the same.
Others seem to forget your name.
The pain at times is so real,
So intense.
I wish I could always feel your presence.
You are my child,
And will always be.
Your light will shine
If only through me.
Life goes on--although you are gone.
Old friends are different--and new ones
Help Mommy move on.
I wish everyone could see--
You that lives on in me.
You are my child,
And will always be.
Your light will shine
If only through me

Butterflies

Hidden in the clouds,

Above the wavy sea,
There is a place called Heaven,
And it's calling out to me.

I really hate to leave you,
All alone and so upset,
But I know you really love me,
And that you won't forget.

My time with you's been short,
But I don't want you to be sad,
Celebrate the memories,
And all the good times that we had.

Butterflies surround me,
Coloured pink with streaks of gold,
And all the other kids here,
Say that we'll never get old.

So when you're feeling down,
And you miss me more than ever,
Remember that I'm happy,
And that I'll be with you forever.
