The first time they laid you in my arms,
you were so small and precious,
the perfect gift from above,
and in an instant I fell in love.
From a girl to a woman, I would watch you grow,
it was the perfect plan, you know.
But I didn't realize just how it would happen so fast.
I just wish that I could go back and relive the past.
For the plan I once had
would no longer be.
When God called you home
I felt so all alone.
The day we had to part
left a big gaping hole in my heart.
Now every day I wake and cry,
for I never had the chance to say goodbye.
Then I think of your laugh and smile,
and know I will see it again in just a short while.
I often speak your name..
now all I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
I will miss you and think of you with love,
and know that you are with our loved ones above.
Rest in Peace, Cara
Love, Daddy
