My Dearest Liam,
Words can not describe the way my heart seems to break more and more everyday since the day you were called upon by God. I miss you so very much. I have laid awake many nights without a wink of sleep thinking of your adorable laugh, your sweet voice, your big giant hugs, the thousands of sweet kisses u gave me, and all that love that just seemed to pour out of you... I always knew you were special and thought you were an angel, I just never thought someone so great would be taken so soon.. I love you baby and miss you more than ever...we will be together again one day...you might be gone but you WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

World of Sanctuary

My bed beckons me with its comfort and safety
When in it I close my eyes
And is taken to a whole other world
That I myself only know exists
It’s a world that my worries and fears don’t dare to venture
It’s a place of solitude and safety
I long to stay and live there
Rather than live in the bleak world of danger and fear
In this world there is no such thing as war and or of poverty
And I am the ruler of this domain
I have control and say
That I am not granted in the bleak world
Here I can be myself
And live a life of purity and prosperity
But when the sunrises
And nightfall says its goodbyes
I must say my goodbyes as well to this wonderful world
So when nightfall visits again
I can travel once more
To this world of sanctuary

(This is for you our Little Liam)
