"Some days I wish I were a bird,
To fly through heaven's gate.
To visit you everyday,
Not daring to be late.
But my wings haven't began to grow,
My soul is not yet clear.
I watched you fly, into the sky,
As you watched me shed a tear.
I miss you here on Earth,
Where more people sort to know.
That God is one for picking best,
Why I'M here and YOU had to go.
No!
Just, please say something funny,
Please say something kind.
Cause the sadness is overwhelming,
As its running through my mind.
There's not a day to go by,
Where your arms can hold me dear.
I wished for just a simple hush,
Your voice is all I hear.
You hope for me to be strong,
For all of us feel sorrow.
But hope, my dear, will bear today,
Our strength saved for tomorrow..."
