I didn’t lay you inside a tomb

I didn’t put you’re urn away

And it took five years to decide

So I kept you with me everyday

On your fifth birthday I spread you through

That old park mommy loved taking you to

It’s where the love of your dad and I

Blossomed and so I finally could decide

It was quiet and it was cold

Snow lightly lay on the floor

And it was slow , aching and sad

As I spread you through that snow covered grass

But see now mommy visits many days

And you remind me always

And even if it’s just for five minutes or so

Every year the snow falls by my side like this

It fell moments after you passed

I held you tight until you left this world

And when I looked outside that window

Some flurries past as if you tried to say “It’s alright. I’m here. Don’t cry”

It didn’t snow quite here and it rarely does

But still you showed yesterday to comfort mom

And you may be 8 years old today

Watching over me and the siblings

And you’d think 8 years makes it alright

But no matter what it’s like a knife

Dear Sophya Gisele, my love

I may not have been a parent

But you were the first to make me a mom

And as I sit with tears in my eyes

Please know baby, moms alright

And she’s struggling now but I know you’re there

Please take care of Rocio and Aaron

Watch them as mommy gets better

You’ve watched me all the years my love

And daddy just had a baby too so watch over him and his loves if you could

So don’t forget you’ve got not one

You’ve got many many people to always love
