No words I write could ever say, How sad and empty I feel today. The angels came for you, Much sooner than I planned. I'll brave the bitter grief that comes, And I'll try my best to understand. Why did you have to go away? Why wasn't it right for you to stay? In my heart you will always be. I love you dearly and I know you'll watch over me. What I'm suffering seems so unfair, But one thing is for certain, My love for you will always be there. My nephew you will always be, The most important part of my heart's memory. I'll cherish the moments I held you in my arms, And I'm sure if you had stayed longer, You would have graced me with your charms. A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried. Neither shall a thousand tears; I know because I've cried. Now you're up in Heaven With the angels above. They will take my place for now, And they'll give you all their love, So go and rest in peace now, My handsome nephew so dear, For all my love and memories I will hold forever near. -- Auntie Pam
I Miss You Daddy
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.
