Charlie I know
Things seem so wrong
One day we’re here,
The next we are gone.
I know that you miss me
And it breaks my heart,
For I miss you so much
When we’re apart.
Your brother is poorly,
You’re too young to know
Exactly what’s wrong
And why we must go.
Each night we’re apart
I blow you a kiss,
I say “Goodnight, sweetheart,
Sweet dreams and God bless.” |
When it’s all over
It may take all year,
I’ll make it up to you,
I’ll always be here.
I love you so much,
My beautiful boy,
Your smiles when I see you
Bring me such joy.
Please, forgive me my angel
For being away,
And always remember,
My love’s here to stay. |
I’ve often been asked
If my faith is in question,
With all that is happening
To these innocent children.
The beautiful faces,
So fair and so pure,
Troubled by cancer,
I have faith, I’m sure.
For what else sees them
Through all of their pain,
And makes them all happy
And healthy again? |
God takes their weight
And carries them through,
They will grow older,
Like me and you.
But if He decides
They have too much to bear,
He’ll take them to heaven
And look after them there. |
I watch you playing
Without a care,
It’s hard to believe
The cancer is there.
You look so bright,
So happy and well,
If someone new met you
They couldn’t tell.
Your strength is amazing,
Your courage so strong,
You’ve fought this disease
So well for so long.
It’s from your strength
That I draw mine,
I know you’ll come through this,
It’ll just take time. |
Carry on smiling,
I will too,
Through the hard times
I’ll carry you.
You are my world,
The air that I breathe,
I know in my heart
You’ll never leave.
Keep strong my love,
The battle has begun,
But with your strength
It will be won. |
