Love from Beyond

Don’t think of me now in the dark,
In a place far beyond.
Think of me in sunshine,
With a special place in your heart.
Think of the smile, the hug, the laugh.
Fun times in the park, the beach, the bush,
In sunshine and after dark.
Fun times, kind thoughts that lay in your heart.
What ever thoughts lay beyond, see the picture,
As visions in your mind, in your heart.
I am always there thinking of you, watching over you.
Put a smile on your face when you pass by that picture,
Or have a thought.
This is how I want to think of you.
At the end of my living life.
Regardless of life, I enjoyed my life.
Accepted the good times with the bad.
For I will always be with you, no matter what
With a special love for you all in my heart.

SIDS

It wasn’t my fault, I didn’t know
That by morning, I’d be dead
For I did awake the day before
Looking for love, play, and to be fed
The doctor said, “My tooth may come through”
So my fever was slight, a little high
Yet by night my limbs were cold
In the morning, my parents found me dead
They did but cry as I lay in my bed
For my body was bruised and blue and dead
The doctor and police did come, both pronounced me dead
My parents loved me as I loved them
Now no touch from them or cuddles and kisses
Now I lay in my grave, not play on the lawn
With my picture on the mantel I am no more
I now live in their hearts, their minds and soul
The answer to my death is still unsolved.
