Where did the year go since you left us?
And why is the pain so raw?
Your loss can stop us in a moment,
And tear us like a falcon’s claw.
The pain reflects our love for you,
And the love’s as deep as the grief,
One emotion replaced the other, you see,
Or so we thought back then,
But the love still flows out from our hearts,
And parallel to the grief,
We know that now, love never dies,
It simply marches on,
And though you’re not here with us
You’re still close to us, our son.
We hope you have some peace now,
We hope you’re far away from pain,
We hope you’ll love us from your vantage point,
Until we meet again.
Bailey, we would give everything,
To have you here again,
But we know that our daily dreams of this
Will forever be in vain.
And so, our son, our fighter,
Sleep sound with idle arms,
For your battle is now over,
And peace will reign again.
