I was too late...
by Cali Martinez.........................................
It happened so fast
Who would have known?
That I'd bring you home that day
Upon us, you had grown.

I remember when I saw you
I could not say no
I loved you from the very start
I'm sad you had to go.

We'd play and have fun together
And you were my best friend
I still ask God, every day
Why your life came to an end.

I woke up in the midst of night,
Screaming, shaking, very scared
But you were still by my side
I knew that you cared.

The nightmare thrust upon me
Like an unforgiving fiend
I should have seen this coming
I should have intervened.

But it was far too late to save you
I wish I could have said goodbye
I didn't want to see the day
I'd watch my baby die.

I still have scary dreams about it
When I awake, you're not there
I miss your presence oh so much
All I feel is despair.

Though gone, you're not forgotten
And stay forever in my heart
I love you forever, Jezzie,
No matter how far apart.

Someday I'll see you again
And that day will be delight
When I get to hold you in my arms
After this life-long fight.

Jezzie, I miss you so much
Words could never express this pain
It's so hard to see the sun
Through this never ending rain.

But you would want me to be happy
You'd want me to move on
I'll see you again someday
When my life is well forgone.

I miss you.
