Free spirit

Bye-Bye my sweet little one,
there´s now no need to be afraid,
no one can hurt you anymore,
in the world beyond the grave.

On earth your spirit couldn´t rest,
you´d often run and hide,
frightened by the slightest sound,
before returning to my side.

Eleven years I kept you
and I loved you dearly too,
all the comfort that you brought to me,
when I was feeling blue.

When illness struck, I did my best,
but no one quite knew what you had,
until a final X-ray
then I knew that it was bad.

It broke my heart to let you go,
in tears my soul was drowned.
The one you trusted and loved the most,
had to really let you down.


I know you´ll have good friends up there,
familiar faces you will see.
So rest in peace my little one.
I set your spirit free.
