        CASSIE AND ME - CHRISTMAS 1998

          Christmas 1998

            MISSING YOU

            My heart aches for you baby more and more everyday
            There's a void in my soul that will not go away
            I treasure our memories of the times that we shared
            I'll never forget your smile, your laugh or how deeply you cared

            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
            You're my first thought in the morning, when 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 laughter 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, 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

            Written in loving memory of Cassandra L. Silva
            I'll always love you sweetie!!!! "MOM"
