I Carry Her in My Heart

Some people may think that I am insane
Those ones probably have not encountered such pain

The pain of losing a daughter or a son
And knowing that from this life he/she is gone

To wake up in the morning, day after day
And ask "Where is my daughter? Tell me, I pray"

Although I know she is in heaven above
Yet, I yearn to hold her and give her my love

But I also know that I carry her in my heart
We became one; no one can separate us apart
