The innocence of a child fades slowly each year.
Age takes out the wonder and replaces it with fear.

I thought of you today and the thought made me smile,
Memories came thick and fast that haven’t surfaced
for a while

I thought of you today and the tears began to flow,
Hospital rooms, hushed goodbyes and you asking us to
let you go,

I thought of you today but then that’s nothing new,
Each day throughout the year are filled with thoughts
of you
