I JUST PRETEND...
By
Marlene Porter
September 8, 2001


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.


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.


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...


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.


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...
