Carry On

I sit in your empty room at night
Dreaming dreams that will never be.
The aroma of your toys and clothes
Bring you near to me.
We used to sing you lullabies
For our night time was never through
Until we sang that special song…
Oh sweet girl, I will always love you
I long for those precious nights again
Yes, I know I’ll have them back in time
Until then I have these memories of you
And of our fingers intertwined

Don’t cry mommy,
I am not gone
Carry on mommy,
Carry on, carry on

I can’t tell you how much I miss you
This has been so hard to understand
I miss your silly laughter
And having you take my hand
I wish I could blow bubbles on your belly
Or tickle your little feet
Everything is different now
It’s so hard to feel complete
I look for your everywhere
Like we’re are playing hide and go seek
I hope you’re happy up in heaven
I know you’re smiling down on me

Don’t cry brother,
I am not gone
Carry on brother,
Carry on, carry on

I used to plan my days around you
You were always there by my side
People seemed to swarm to you
Oh, how you filled my heart with pride
Now when I think of you, I smile
Though my heart still feels the pain
I go on because I know you would want me to
But living just isn’t the same
When I look at all the pictures of you
I think of how you touched our lives in so many ways
You visit me in my dreams at night
But I can never make you stay

Don’t cry daddy,
I am not gone
Carry on daddy,
Carry on, carry on

I sit here by Heavenly Father’s side
He tickles me like you
And Jesus sings my favorite song
Like mommy used to do
The angels take turns holding me
When I want to feel you near
And when you say your prayers at night
They always let me hear
So don’t cry family,
I am not gone
Carry on family
Carry on, Carry on

For the Motzkus Family
