I stand and hold your hand as you lay sleeping
As I’ve done a thousand times before
But this time you’re in another’s keeping
And sadly I can’t hold you anymore
Your life on earth was everyday a wonder
Your laughter put the sunshine in my day
Now I feel my life is torn asunder
As I can’t hear you laugh or watch you play
My thoughts fly back to holding you the first time
Red hair, soft skin and eyes of brightest blue
Your sense of humour and determination
I hope you know how proud I was of you
As I pondered on the young lady you’d become
My heart with love and pride had swelled and grown
Your last sweet words to me were “mum I love you”
I’d never have let you go if I had known
That in one moment my life would be shattered
My darling girl and I’d be torn apart
And with our hearts so empty, bruised and battered
The boys and I must make a brand new start
But Aimee though I know your love goes with me
I see your freckled face while I’m asleep
I put my arms around you and I hold you
But then I wake.. and empty arms still make me weep
Happy birthday my precious Angel. xxx
God bless you for your courage to write about your beautiful daughter and the pain you have had to endure. There was a reason that God wanted people to know the truth about the hearafter. To stop others from selling their souls while they are here for a short time. We have such a short time here to help and love one another and there are some that don’t know how to love or appreciate their blessings when they have them. You will be together again, that is His promise.
Aw … tears for you … and mutual understanding of your beautiful words … hugs x
