Sometime Between 10:47 Am and 11:02 Am
Sweet heart
Sweet baby
I promised I would take you to the Ocean
Your Soul does not belong in a little box
Your Spirit is too big to be confined
I know that you are already gone but I cannot let go of you just yet
Sweet heart
Sweet baby
I promise I will, one day, take you down to the water so that you can see
the whole world and all of the oceans
I cannot do that today
Sweet heart
Sweet baby
I need your beautiful box close to me when I go to sleep, when I wake up
I want to keep you a little longer
I have so many more lives to live before I get to the place where you are now
I know you led a beautiful sweet life
I know that your journey leads you to a more beautiful place
I need to keep you here with me
Thank you for letting me keep you here with me
I love you
Sweet heart
Sweet baby
You came to visit me in the sunshine and in the wind
Most of the time you're gone
You took a little piece of my heart and soul with you on your journey
You let me keep a little piece of your heart and soul here with me in return
It was the best exchange I ever made
