Gone Too Soon
Just like a page that has been ripped from a book
or a shooting star that disappears after a single look
you were here for such a short time
how can I go on without you by my side
I thought that I would have you longer than I did
but death is incomprehensible to a little kid
I yearn for the healing touch only my daddy can bring me
and now all I have left to cling to is your memory
the life you lives was so full and happy
but too short for any of us to love you completely
you are in Heaven, this I know
I am still here longing to be with you so
but until God sees fit to reunite us some day
I will keep you in my heart with all that I do and say
