Alive in my heart

Some people may think that I am insane,

They probably did not have such a pain.

The pain of losing a daughter or a son

And that from your life your child is gone.

To wake up in the morning, day after day,

Asking, "Where is my daughter? Tell me, I pray"

Although I know she is in heaven above,

I do yearn to hold her and give her my love

She is alive every moment in my heart.

Wasn't she part of it from the start?
