Wishes for Danielle, A song for my Niece Options

[Nefertiti]

I wish I could have known you better.
I wish I could have loved you more.
I wish we'd had more time together
before you had to pass through Heaven's door.

And I wish you could have had more time.
I wish you could have had less pain.
I wish I could go back in time
to have the chance to be with you again.

But Heaven's a better place right now
because, Danielle, you're finally home.
Still, I find it hard to carry on
left here on earth - all  on my own.

Sometimes I'd like to think that God is mean
'cause things turned out the way they did.
But, in my heart, I know the blame's not His,
though the price you paid was too high for a kid.

But Heaven's a better place right now,
because, Danielle, you're finally home.
Still, I find it hard to carry on,
left here on earth -  all on my own.

And I wish I could have made you better.
I wish you'd never gotten sick at all.
I wish you hadn't missed out on your life -
to have to die so young's not logical.

But Heaven's a better place right now,
because, Danielle, you're finally home.
Still, I find it hard to carry on,
left here  on earth - all on my own.

Tomorrow will come,
so will the rain -
filled with sorrow,
filled with pain.
But some other day,
the sun will shine.
Then, all I'll remember
is that you were mine.

But Heaven's a better place right now,
because, Danielle, you're finally home.
Still, I find it hard to carry on,
left here on earth - all on my own.

Beth...

It seems so long since I've seen you on here. Welcome back!

This is, indeed, such a sad tale and, apparently, a personal one. I have a friend who is an undertaker and he tells me that they are hardened to most things but the death of children still causes even them problems.

I'm sorry about your niece - you two sounded very close. I can't tell how recent this was but I do home time passing helps.

This is not a crit forum but, even so, I'd just like to say I think this song very well written. Have you tried to put it to music yet?

All the very best and I hope to see you here more.

Regards, James.
