Because I love you
I loved you
the moment
I saw your
sweet face
You made me smile
when I was down
and out
with kisses
and love
you lifted me up
You forgave
me my faults
and
short commings
Loved me for who
and
what I am
Because you were hurting
lying in pain
suffering quietly,
The years went
too quickly by
Because I loved you
I said goodbye
not easy
nor
made lightly
this choice
I had
Because you gave me
all you had
I say
good bye
my sweet friend
With tears in my eyes
my heart ripped
to shreads
I give you release
much to my dread
Because I love you
I let you go
with dignity
you deserve
Your life was a lesson
only you could
give
Now into God's hands
I return
what He gave
There's a hole in my heart
that will never mend
your flame has
flicked to an end
Alone I cry
into the night
missing
all that you were
grasping at memories
that will always
burn bright
Rest peacefully
in the arms of
the angels
We will meet again
I have had to help too many of my own baby's cross to the brige. Each
time my heart has been ripped out. I wanted to share this with those who
have also had to make that choice out of the love they fell and know. I
wrote this quit a while ago, but have kept it, I cry every time I read
it. It brings back so many feelings.
