Dear heart, please stop breaking.
Please forget the one who caused this aching.
I know I am the one who placed him there,
But he was not true and I cannot share.
When I gave him my heart he promised the world,
But that promise he shared with more than one girl.
Dear heart, do you think that you will ever heal
And piece back together what I allowed him to steal?
How will I ever fall in love again?
Dear heart, will you ever let anyone else in?

A beautiful garden now stands alone,
missing the one who nurtured it,
But now she is gone.
Her flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines,
But the rain is like tear drops for the ones left behind,
The weeds lay waiting to take the garden's beauty away,
But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay.
She loved every flower, even some that were weeds.
So much love she would plant with each little seed,
But just like her flowers, she was part of God's plan.
So when it was her time, he reached down his hand.
He looked through the Garden, searching for the best.
That's when he found her; it was her time to rest.
It was hard for those who loved her to just let her go,
But God had a spot in his garden that needed a gentle soul,
So when you start missing her, remember if you just wait,
When God has a spot in his garden, she'll meet you at the gate...

Daddy, can you feel me?
Do you know I'm near?
I wished that I could be with you,
To wipe away your tears.
I know you're hurting, Daddy.
I see it every day.
If only I could help you see
I really am okay.
Heaven is so pretty, Daddy.
Me and Mommy are there.
We're spending time with Jesus.
We'll be waiting for you here,
But you have things to do down there
Until your time is done.
Oh, but when that day comes, Daddy,
Into your arms I'll run...
