Written in Memory of my beloved Daughter

I'd like to send a letter to heaven and address it to the one I love.
My child has left this world, to be with the Lord above.

I would tell her that I love her, and that I miss her loving touch.
I would say we're lost without her and we miss her...oh so much.

I would ask if she could visit, if we promised not to cry.
Maybe one more time to see her..We forgot to say "Good Bye."

We will try to control our emotions we truly feel we could.
So please-we need a visit. We promise we'll be good.

It is so hard, we miss her. Oh Lord, this feeling is the worst.
We know you gave her to us, yes we know you had her first.

But called her prematurely, I'm sorry I question your will.
I know you have your reasons but Lord-I miss her still

If you'd only make an exception please consider what we plea.
It is so hard excepting that our daughter-we will never see.

Oh baby, I write you this letter with all the love there is to be had.
Because it's just not me who's hurting, There is your Brother and your Dad.

We need so much to see you, then we'll try to let you rest.
But if not in this world baby, then we'll see you in the next.

So I'm sending a letter to heaven, and pray you hear my plea.
But if the answer is not what I'm asking-
Lord come and rescue me!
