Dear Aaron

Dear Aaron,
I'm writing you today
To tell you Grandma loves you
and I'm missing you today
I know that you can't read these words
but somehow that's ok
Cause the postman can't deliver
what I'm feeling anyway
I'm sorry
We didn't have more time
We barely got to say hello
before we said goodbye
But I was there that day in May
a miracle came true
A Grandma's love was born that day
The miracle was YOU...
Don't worry
I'll do the best I can
To help Mommy and Daddy
through the rough times they'll both have
I know you see their sadness
and it hurts to see their pain
But time will wash away their tears
'til only love remains
In closing
I just want to say
I'll see your smile in ev'ry child
that passes through my day
and when each day has ended
and twilight turns to night
I'll look above and feel your love
for your star shines twice as bright
P.S.
Dear Aaron
I promise you today
You'll live within this Grandma's heart
'til you're in my arms again...
