What Would I Say? |
In loving memory of Tabitha Maisie Lavoie April 27, 1997 |
Yes it is true that I never got to see all that this would holds
The flowers, trees, grass or a bright sunny day Not even the smiling faces of my loving family But in my heart I have seen all of these things, even in my short time It is also true that I never got to feel the many things that you take for granted The snow on my face on a cold December day Finger paints and crayons I will never hold in my hands But I did feel the loving arms of my mother and father cradling me gently. I never got to hear all the sounds that make most hearts sing The laughter of a loved one or the sweet song of a bird Songs on the radio and the words “I love you” are to me a mystery But the soft touch of my mother’s hands shouts to me all of this and more. I would never have known the joy of running through a field of flowers Never would I roll down the side of a hill too dizzy to stand Hide and seek, tag and dodge ball I would have missed In my mind I will do all of these things and more. You all may see it as me missing out on all of these things by leaving you so soon But where I am going I will do, see and hear everything you do and more All of the people that have passed before me are waiting to make that come true I will always think of good things, for in my short time that is all I know. So don’t cry for me I am doing all that you have all wished for me, And from my time here with you I will know nothing but love and that I will take with me. |
