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

Beautifully penned - such sad imagery - I have a favourite spot where my ashes are to be scattered I can see it in the distance from my house:-) Many congrats on your win. Hugs jan xx
