He said sadly, I have a hole in my heart <br />I said, I know <br />He said, It feels like a piece of me is missing <br />I said, Me too <br />He said, She’ll never get to know my daughter <br />See her grow up like she did with yours <br />I said, She could be watching us still <br />He said, How do you know, how can you tell? <br />I said, You just have to believe <br />You have to believe that she can still see us <br />That she knows we always think about her <br />That way she’ll be with us forever <br />As long as you remember <br />So tell your daughter about her <br />What she was like, the time she spent with us <br />How we grew up <br />Relive the memories with your children <br />Make them into a story <br />I know it’s not the same <br />But it will help to easy your worry <br />It will help to heal your heart <br />As long as you remember her <br />You will never be apart<br /><br />Stephanie J.
