Oh Josiah, How has it been one year since I looked into your denim blue eyes?
Felt my heart rip right in two when you left me behind
I remember frantically trying to kiss your cheeks again and again so you would know just how much I love you
Holding on to your grip to feel the squeeze of your fingers
Nuzzling my nose into the softness of your hair to memorize your smell
Taking in the details of you
Singing your lullaby to you over and over
Its been one whole year since we said goodbye.
We may have only had 23 days, but it was a lifetime. Your lifetime.
Josiah Paul, we are 365 days closer…
I’m still coming. Wait for me.
♥
I asked you Lord, You answered
A little one you gave.
The hardest part I never knew
was the little one you’d take.
But Lord I trust you now
I know that you are good
And Jesus I was wondering if you would…
Hug him once for me
Hold him up real close
Let him sit upon your knee
And tell him all the things we’d teach him about you
Whisper in his ear one more simple truth
Tell him that you love him
and that we love him too.
