Sun beaming, kissing cherub face

As the babe remembers that peaceful place

When she was wrapped up, held within your arms

The world felt safer there hidden from its harm

Memory of times you were still here

When she was innocent and without fear

She remembers how you loved her, how you smiled

How even as an infant, it was all worthwhile

Holding so very gently, as she watches time tick by

And yet you had to leave us, she always wondered why

Too few are the memories, of that smiling face

Yet never could another live to fill the space

This fading remembrance, verging to faint to find

Though she strains and searches the caverns of the mind

It is drifting, floating farther and farther away

Because the man is legend, we couldn’t make him stay

It's that she can't remember, breaking down her heart

And sadder still, she remembers you as she falls apart

 {Original}

the sun beams down upon her face

as faintly she remembers that peaceful place

when she was snuggled in your arms

all was safe and brought no harm

the time when you were still here

when she was innocent and had no fear

She remembers how you loved her, and remembers how you smiled

and how even as she was a baby, how you made it all worth while

when you held her oh so softly as she watched time pass by

but still you had to leave her, and to that she wonders why

because there are too few memories  of that smile that danced across your face

and never was there anyone who could even begin to take your place

her only real memory is almost to faint to find

even when she searches deep within her mind

it slowly and steadily drifts further away

and no matter how she try's there is no way to make it stay

the fact that she can't remember ,it is breaking her heart

because tis that memory of you that was keeping her from falling apart
