Butterfly Kisses

    There's two things I know for sure,
        She was sent here from Heaven,
          and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
   she talks to Jesus and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all the joy in my life,
              but most of all, for...
    Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin` little white flowers all up in her hair.
       "Walk beside the pony daddy,
              It's my first ride."
       "I know the cake looks funny,
           daddy, but I sure tried."
    Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
    I must have done something right
     To deserve a hug every morning
        and buttefly kisses at night.
            Sweet sixteen today,
      She's looking like her momma
           a little more every day.
    One part woman, the other part girl.
          To perfume and makeup,
           from ribbons and curls.
    Trying her wings out in a great
        big world. But I remember...
    Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin` little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you daddy,
          But if you don't mind,
     I'm only going to kiss you on
           the cheek this time."
     With all that Iv'e done wrong,
    I must have done something right.
   To deserve her love every morning,
       and butterfly kisses at night.
           All the precious time.

Memory

There is a place called memory,
were we sometimes like to roam.
Through hills of love and laughter
A place we know as home.
A place that's free from all this pain
were our hearts are light once again
A place that lives forever,
Where life is, as it was before.
Our children live in memory.
They laugh and dance and sing.
There lives are filled with magic
That only Heaven can bring.
They fill no hurt or anger.
Their spirits are free as air.
And God's love will always protect them
In times when we aren't there.
Cherish this place called memory.
Feel the love that lives there
Remember the joys, the warmth of the sun,
and the bond you will always share.
Smile at happy moments,
Laugh at times gone by.
Let the tears you cry be happy ones,
Know love will never die.
Have no fear of visiting,
The joy will outweigh the pain.
Learn to treasure memory
For there is much that you will gain.
And though life is not as it was before,
And never will be again.
Our memories are much richer,
Than if love had never been.
