Little one… you remain… br the center of my soul br You are the child I cared for… br you made my circle whole br br I know you don’t remember me… br the fun we had at play br You would hide and I would seek… br I miss it to this day br br I have often closed my eyes… br imagining you are there br And memories of your happiness br are answers to my prayers br br I love you more than life itself br yet you might never know br The hardest day I ever lived br the day I let you go br br I taught you… to be the best… br at everything you do br I taught you… to reach for stars… br to make your dreams come true br br You taught me… to love a child… br unconditionally br You taught me… the pain in loss… br of dreams in destiny br br When the world stops turning… br when we breathe our last br In some heaven’s distant time… br our souls will find the past br br Then you can tell me everything… br your growing that I’ve missed br And you will know that while I lived… br each night, your dreams, I kissed br br © 1987 JVDbr br Jane Van Doebr br
