We would phone- talk for hours, there was so much to say.
Living life for the moment- day after day.
But destiny called me and I had to go.
Leaving you all behind as your tears overflow.
Pain is an anchor when you can't say goodbye.
You search for the answers and ask yourselves why.
But all things happen for reasons unknown,
Like the leaves of a tree, we get shaken and blown.
Hold tight to the moments we made through the years.
Then live life to the fullest - and dry up your tears.
I hope you all know I loved each one of you.
I cherished the memories of what we've been through.
I'll be up in Heaven - like a star shining bright,
I'll shine down upon you in the dark of the night.
It seems like only yesterday I held you in my arms
My sweet and loving daughter with the cutest angel's charms
When colic hurt your tummy I'd walk you all around
Wishing I could take the pain away and keep you safe and sound
When you were only two - our lives were torn apart.
But I hope you know, my daughter, you were always in my heart.
I loved you every moment-watched you grow from far away
Lived for the weeks each summer when you would come and stay
I know I wasn't perfect-but I did the best I could
sometimes life isn't simple-things don't turn out like they should
Now I'm left to wonder if I could have changed your destiny
If I could have made a difference and you'd still be here with me
But deep down in my heart are the answers and the truth
You are a "special angel" and your legacy is proof
God must have had a mission and a special plan for you
He called you back to heaven-I must believe it's true
The lives you touched are many-you made your mark upon this earth
I feel like I've been blessed to have known you right from your birth
So now, although I miss you-I know your safe at last
As I try to live without you-I see the good times of the past
Thank you my preciuos daughter, for the love you've given me
For all those smiles and laughter-they set my true feelings free
Love,
Dad
When I needed a friend, you were there there by my side
When my life was confusing, you helped me decide.
Through the laughter and tears- through the good times and the bad,
You were all the best friends that I could have had.
Alycia, I love you very much, and miss you even more. The time we spent together was just too short. I always think of you constantly. I know that you are watching over me because I feel your angelic presence. It puts me at ease knowing that you are still here for me. I love you very much, and I plan to look out for Michael and hope for him the very best, because I know it's what you do. And as for Aunt Nesie, I will always be there for her, no matter what. I love you and miss you very much.
