Promised walks never taken

are what I regretted most,

as I held your hand

afraid to let you go.

 

I pushed you up the hill

the last time you went outside,

so you could hear the cardinals chirp

and smell the flowers one last time.

 

You said there was nothing to be afraid of

and told me not to cry.

You'll always be watching over me,

singing me lullabies.

 

I'll always be your daring

and I'll try to make you proud.

I know I'll see you someday

dancing in the clouds.
