“I once was here but now Im gone I wasnt here for very long You held me close as if you knew. That some day soon I wouldnt be with you No one knows why God called me that day But in his arms I now must stay But Im still here right by your side, and with my heart I feel your pride. I miss you mommy everyday but in this place I now must stay. But dont feel sad as Im not far Im in the wind the sun and that shining star. So mommy mommy please dont cry as Im always here right by your side.”
