01

Love

"Gone Too Soon"

A precious life, so full of grace
Taken from us, in a tragic race
A heart of gold, a smile so bright
Gone too soon, without a fight

We held you close, we loved you dear
But God had other plans, it's clear
Though our hearts are filled with pain
We'll see you again, love will remain

We'll miss your laughter, your gentle touch
But in our hearts, you'll always be with us
Though we'll never understand why
We'll always remember the day you said goodbye

02

Love

"A Father's Loss"

I held you in my arms, so small and sweet
My precious angel, my heart's complete
But now you're gone, and I'm left alone
To face a life, without a home

I'll never hear your laughter again
Or feel your touch, or hold your hand
But in my heart, you'll always be
My little girl, forever free

Though the pain is great, and the tears flow
I'll always cherish the time we had
And though you're gone, you'll never be forgot
My little angel, the best I've had

03

Love

"A Mother's Love"

I held you close, I kissed your face
I loved you more, with each passing day
But now you're gone, and I'm left alone
To face a life, without a home

I'll never hear your voice again
Or see your smile, or hold your hand
But in my heart, you'll always be
My little girl, forever free

Though the pain is great, and the tears flow
I'll always cherish the time we had
And though you're gone, you'll never be forgot
My little angel, the best I've had

It hurts to let you go, my precious child
But I know you're in a better place
My love for you, will never die
In my heart, you'll always have a space.
