First of all, I'm not quite the poet that my son Casey is but, I just wanted to put some of my thoughts down on paper so here it goes........
My Dear Sweet Lillian,
The most beautiful angel in heaven you are.
I'll love you forever, even from a far.
I'll never forget the 4 days you were here,
The love that I felt while holding you near.
I have one regret from those days I can't hide,
It was even for a minute leaving your side.
You opened my eyes, and touched deep my heart.
I'll cherish these memories, while we are apart.
I prayed so hard to hear you giggle and smile.
I guess that will have to wait for a while.
My heart feels so broken, will it ever mend?
I fear that it won't, till I hold you again.
So save me some hugs, for I can not wait,
Till the day that we meet at the heavenly gate.
There are so many things that now I can't do,
Like sharing some memories, just me and you.
To watch you grow up and do things you desire,
Seems God's plan for you was in his heavenly choir.
The powerful sound of your voice from above,
Was given to you from your mother's love.
At night I lay awake and listen for your voice,
I guess for now that is my only choice.
So until we meet again, and I can hold you so tight,
Sing to me Lily, I'll be listening at night.
I Love you Lily, You are too beautiful for earth.
Grandpa
