Just Around The Bend / Heavens Not So Far Away 
My precious, little innocent one, sometimes Heaven feels so far away,
One moment you’re happy within me, the next, you’ve somehow slipped away.
I want you back in my arms so badly, I hate that we’ve been pulled apart.
The pain it always lingers now, it feels like someone’s ripped at my heart.
People must think that I’m doing fine, sometimes it seems true,
But my smile you see, it hides the pain, the ache that I feel for you.
All it takes is one small thing, to make me think of losing you,
It all comes crashing down once more, it hits right out of the blue.
I miss you more and more each day, I hate that my few memories fade,
But my love for you, I know for sure, will never, ever go away.
My mind it flips, it’s twists and bends, Around and round it turns.
I don’t want another in my arms I think, It is forever you that I’ll yearn.
I know I would love your little sibling though, I would love them with all I’ve got, yet still…
The only reason that they would be here, … is simply because, you’re not.
And while you’re not where I wish you to be, I know that you’re everywhere,
I know your spirit shines above us, you’re always in the air.
I hear you in the morning birds and the rustle of the trees,
I see you in the stars at night, I feel you in the breeze.
One day our souls will be together once more, Our love it will find no end.
You’ve gone ahead my darling child, you’re only just around the bend.
So when I stop to think about it, Heavens really not that far away,
You’re with all our loved ones now, an eternity full of joy, and laughter and play.
Yet I think of the things you’ll miss with us, all the fun things you’ll never get to do,
And I promise I’ll cherish my future moments, I will live my life fully now, for you.
