As this year comes to an end
And a new one is about to begin,
I cannot believe that now I must say
It was last year that you passed away.

It seems to take you farther from me,
When I try to hold you closer you see.
My heart is breaking completely in two,
Because I want so to hold onto to you.

You became my little Muffin Marie,
My sweet, little angel smiling at me.
The happiness you brought into my life
Could not be bought or lessened by strife.

When I told you that you were pretty,
And in front of me you would be sitting;
Turning your head and preening as though
I was not the only one who thought so.

You came to me to get help,
Whenever you weren't feeling well.
We stayed up all through the night,
When you were sick and gave me a fright.

We had lots of fun, you and I,
Playing hide and seek, looking at the sky.
You watched the planes and butterflies
With wonder always in your eyes.

We played catch with those little balls,
Played tug of war and ran through the halls.
We went for peaceful country rides,
Stopping at some interesting sights.

I wished we could always be together,
Because I knew our love would last forever.
I wondered why I was given more years
To grieve and to shed my tears.

I held you as you slipped away,
Trying to hold my tears at bay.
I once said that an angel God sent to me,
He took her back for eternity.

Empty and sad now is my heart,
Feeling as though it has come apart.
I miss my little angel more than you think,
Because we had a special link.

I do feel blessed that we have met
And I know it’s true I will never forget.
She was so loved, cherished, and all those things,
My little girl now has angel wings.
