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.

Hi Lindi!

Thank you for your sympathies.  I talked to my sister-in-law and she told me her daughter, Danielle's cousin, saw a bright light following her outside.  When she went to get in the car, an outline of a smile and a waving hand appeared and Lexi knew it was Danielle waving goodbye.  It helps comfort, knowing that she is smiling and all right.  I mean, how much better can it get than Heaven, right?

Thanks again so very much!
