I feel blessed at times 

Throughout the pain and tears. 

I feel blessed at times

For the love and prayers. 

 

I felt blessed on his birthday

All the Love that was sent

I felt blessed with the global wishes 

On the blessed event. 

 

I feel blessed by the clouds

that hover above

I feel blessed when I see

the signs you send me. 

 

I feel blessed for the pictures

You took so abundantly

I feel blessed for the videos

So I can see & hear  you constantly.

 

I feel blessed from the warmth

from your friends that visit 

I feel blessed with your smile 

And giggle you'd solicit .

 

I feel blessed for  the twinkle  .

and how it shone bright. 

I feel blessed  you touched

so many  hearts with your

courageous fight . 

 

I see the blessings of all this 

and all around. 

I know you are my guardian angel

Sent from above

I know you are near me 

And send me a hug.

 

I know you watch over me 

and see my tear. 

I know that you worry

and tell me you care. 

 

I feel blessed with knowing this

I know its all true. 

The hard part is  

Not being able to hug you. 

 

Bless your beautiful face 

my angel from above 

Bless your face

I am sending you my love.
