My little feet willA
No longer tread lightlyB
As I follow you alongC
Nor will they leaveD
Their prints in the sandE
My heart may no longer beatF
But it will never stop loving youG
I have crossed safelyB
Over the rainbow bridge andH
My new adventure has begunI
I know you will cry for meB
And that is expectedJ
I know you will miss meB
As I will miss youG
The void that is within youG
Cannot and will not be filledK
And that is a good thingL
The ache will be painfulM
As it should be and foreverN
But there is a solutionI
It is a simple oneI
When you look atO
A beautiful flowerN
Or gaze from the shorelineP
At the mesmerizing seaB
Or stand beneath the moonQ
Under a dark but starlit skyR
Or at any other timeS
Think of me and I will be thereT
When you are fast asleepU
I will come to youG
In your fleeting dreamsV
And will lick your faceW
And lay down beside youG
Giving you my warmthX
And surrounding you with my loveY
So now you can understandE
That I will never leave youG
Even if I am not beside youG
I am there always in your memoriesZ
Think of me and I will comeA2
From the deep recessesB2
To be with you at any timeS
You will feel my loveY
And you will hear my tiny foot stepsC2
For though I am gone I m really notD2
