Snowflake

It has been five months now since you passed on that day
No matter how much time goes by I still miss you in every way

You are so far away from me now but still inside my heart
And I know as long as I still think of you we will never be apart

I wear a permanent reminder of you each and every day
It helps me to remember that you are still with me in some way

You symbolize the snowflake that I wear upon my wrist
My baby girl you have no idea how much you are truly missed

And like a snowflake that falls so far from the sky
You too are like that snowflake up there so high

You were so delicate and fragile but so beautiful too
And I guess that is why a snowflake reminds me so much of you

It gives me some peace to know that you are happy where you are
You are now my sweet little angel, my own shining star

And every time I see the snow falling from above
I know that it is your little way of showing us your love

You’re saying, “Mommy I am here, I am in a better place”
“I am the whisper in the wind and the snowflakes on your face”

So now when the snow is falling I look up in the sky
I look up into heaven and let out a little sigh

As I look down and see the snowflake that’s forever there
It is my way little way of saying I still care

I know that one day I will see your precious face again
And when that day finally comes my heart with truly mend

But until that day in heaven when we can meet again
I will think of you when I see snow fall from now until the end
