A candle for Alex....

I am lighting this candle in memory of my beautiful son Alexander.

My sweet angel went to heaven 3 years ago today...

I love you sweetheart...Always and Forever you are in my heart.

Although my body you can't hold,

It doesn't mean I'm gone,

This world was worthy, not, of me,

God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,

What you are forced to face,

You have my word, I'll fill your arms,

Someday we will embrace.

You'll hear that it was

"meant to be God doesn't make mistakes",

But that won't soften your worst blow,

Or make your heart not ache.

I'm watching over all you do,

Another child you'll bear,

Believe me when I say to you,

That I am always there.

There'll come a time, I promise you,

When you will hold my hand,

Stroke my face and kiss my lips,

And then you'll understand.
