You never saw a butterfly in flight, or tried to catch a firefly at night.....that's why I cry.
You never saw a rainbow in the sky, or watched the dandelion seeds fly....that's why I cry.
You never had the chance to hold, the first snowflake from winter's cold.....that's why I cry.
You never heard your Mommy's lullabyes, or saw the winks from your Daddy's eyes.....that's why I cry.
You never reached up to pat my cheek, or from under a blanket to take a peek.....that's why I cry.
All your little hugs & kisses, these are the things that everyone misses.....that's why I cry.
Soon the tears of sorrow that my pillow stain, will turn to tears of joy - Alyssa Raine....that's why I cry.
On your little fingers a butterfly will lite, and you will catch a firefly at night.....that's why I cry.
You will see the colors of a rainbow,and upon the dandelion you will blow.....that's why I cry.
Snowflakes on your nose will melt, and everything your little fingers have felt.....that's why I cry.
Lullabyes from Mommy will put you to sleep, proud glances from Daddy in your mind you'll keep...that's why I cry.
Pats on my cheeks & kisses too! From under a blanket you'll play peek-a-boo!...that's why I cry.
When God makes all things new, and when your family welcomes you.....that's when I'll cry.
The tears of sorrow and pain will be left in the past, because we will have you - Alyssa Raine at last!...that's when I'll cry.
Love,
Grandmom
