Why Did the Angels Choose You?

Dear Cassandra my life without you
seems so meaningless, empty and blue
Why on that day did the angels choose you
And why didn't they take me along too?

Your life held so many promises and dreams
But now all I have is memories...or so it seems
No graduation, prom, or colleges will you choose
No marriage or grandchildren will come from you

I lie in bed at night wishing we could share
Another moment together to tell you I care
People have told me you're in a far better place
These words are no comfort, as I wipe the tears from my face

I walk in your room and look through your things,
Your stuff animals, jewelry especially your class ring
The shoes, jackets, and clothes you once wore
Are still in the closet and in your drawers

Your bed and your pillow are all in there place
But no Cassie, no sissy, to fill up the space
I can "feel" you with me but it isn't enough
I want to hear your laughter and feel your touch

I miss you so much I can't possibly explain
The toll or amount of this emotional pain
Your weren't just my child, you were my best friend
And I've lost you until my earth life ends

And when will that end be, I can't stand the pain
My life without you just isn't the same
A life without you just doesn't seem fair
The days are so empty and full of despair

I pray for the day we will meet again
One year, five years, or maybe in ten?
What a day it will be to see you
No longer my heart will be broken in two

On that day I will hear your laughter and feel your touch
just some of the things I miss so much
But until that day just know that I care
I miss you, I love you, my "angel" so rare
