Your Granddaughter Kathryn

April 12, 2005

If teardrops were a stairway,

If we had a lifetime wish,

Dream that could come true,

We'd pray to God so hard,

For yesterday and you.



The things we feel so deeply,

Are the hardest things to say,

But we your family love you,

In a very special way.



They say that memories are golden,

Well maybe that is true,

But we never wanted memories,

We only wanted you.



If teardrops were a stairway,

And heartaches made a lane,

We'd walk a path to Heaven,

And bring you back again.



A thousand times we've cried,

If our love could have saved you,

You never would have died.



WE ALL MISS YOU BUMPAA

Your Granddaughter Kathryn

April 12, 2005
