Tiny footprints, in the sand
Fingernails on a tiny hand
Small heartbeats with lots of love
Wings spread wide, like a dove
Sit back, close your eyes, hear her –
                                                   speak
She’s whispering that she’s okay
And saying that you’ll meet again –
                                                     another day
Sun-dried smiles, in the sky
A quick hello with a long goodbye
It hurts, I know, but remember this
She’s skipped life’s pain and gotten Bliss
I feel your Pain and know you’re Sad
But she’s watchin’ The Best Mom She –
                                                              Ever Had
