I JUST PRETEND... By Marlene Porter September 8, 2001
![](https://www.angelfire.com/stars2/angelize56/memorialpages/arrivalfloat.gif) I hold you close my precious child, you smile up at me. My heart fills with love, more than anyone can see. I touch your face and tousle your soft, shiny hair. Oh my precious child, I feel such joy when you are near.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/stars2/angelize56/memorialpages/angeldividergray.gif) You close your arms around me and I feel such delight. I want you close to me here, morning, noon and night. You tell me that you love me in your sweetest little voice. Oh my precious child I want this forever, if I only had the choice.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/stars2/angelize56/memorialpages/arrivalfloat.gif) But you fade from my arms and my teardrops start to fall. As I remember you really weren't here with me at all. For you've gone to Heaven and these special moments end. Oh my precious child, I hold you close, but I just pretend...
![](https://www.angelfire.com/stars2/angelize56/memorialpages/angeldividergray.gif) I pretend that you are here with me like so many times before. I pretend that you and I are together forever more. But the teardrops always come and wash your face away. Oh my precious child I miss you more and more each passing day.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/stars2/angelize56/memorialpages/arrivalfloat.gif) I can't pretend the pain of your sad loss away. I can't pretend that I'm not lonelier every day. For you've gone to Heaven and these special moments end. Oh my precious child, I hold you close....only I just pretend...
