You were "always" there for your family and friends
A shoulder to cry on, a helping hand you did lend
When in the hospital, so sick and in pain
You were strong and courageous and never complained
You laid there so still and smiled when we spoke
You rested awhile, then smiled again when you woke
I love you my sweet Cassandra, and I miss you so much too
Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you
Your my first thought in the morning as I wake for the day
My last thought in the evening when my head down I lay
I ask myself daily, how am I to go on?
A mother and child is the strongest of bonds
My spirit is broken, and so is my will
I feel like I've started a long journey uphill
My days are so sad and my nights are so long
Nothing feels right anymore, everything feels wrong
I'm tired, I'm angry and my heart is in two
I can't even begin to imagine my life without you
I long to be near you, to touch, hug, and kiss
And these are just a few of the things that I miss
I miss your sweet smile, your laugh and your cute little nose
Your voice, your advice, your head to your toes
Such a beautiful young lady, your future so bright
Now what's left for me? MEMORIES? it just isn't right
I sob and I weep, and I wail and I cry
And I know I've asked God a million times why?
Why would He take my sweet beautiful child
We wanted you here for a much longer while
You had your whole life to live, you were just starting out
Proms, graduation, what's this all about?
Please tell me dear Lord, I just have to know
Oh Why? Lord oh Why? did she have to go?
I loved you, I trusted, I prayed like I should
I believed in you Jesus, I did all that I could
So Why Jesus Why, please answer my plea
Why did you take my sweet daughter from me?
So far there's no answer, only silence I hear
Maybe someday in Heaven You'll make it all clear
