Story So Short

Keep smiling my angel beyond sun and stars,
I find fathomless peace in my silent tears,
I find comfort in my dreams where I hold you,
And I thank you for the nine beautiful years.

Rhapsody of life, you saved in my memories,
In loneliness so quietus, I feel you in my heart,
Your story though short yet it inspires me,
I promise, until eternity, we shall not part.

Dear, I know you are safe in heaven above,
You left me with unhealed wounds and scars,
Send me some strength to fulfil your dreams,
Keep smiling my angel beyond sun and stars.
