Fingerprints are on my heart.
Even though I never held your hand-
        you touched me

Even though I never heard you speak-
you taught me.
You taught me about Love,
You taught me about Caring,
You taught me about Courage
You taught me about Faith,
You taught me about Happiness,
You taught me about Sorrow

You brought me closer to my loved ones,
You brought me Closer to myself

In the time I cared for you,
My how life changed
Never to be the same again.

Because of you
I know I will somehow be stronger
Because of you
I know I will be more prepared for life

All this from tiny fingerprints
that touched my heart.
Because of this
You will live forever in my soul
Never to be forgotten

I will always Love You
You are My Child
