Bailyn Marie Chupka

In loving memory of my daughter, Bailyn Marie Chupka, who would be two today.

My precious baby girl, I want you to know that I've loved you from day one and will never stop loving you; I miss you more than words can explain.

Little feet are dancing in my head

But tell me where have they gone for now

I don't know will I ever see them again.

Tomorrow would never be too soon to tell

Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be

I thought about the fun times we'd have

I'd watch you run and play and being crazy mad

If you were tired, I would hold you close to me

If you fell down, I'd pick you up and kiss your knee.

Well maybe that's the way things were supposed to be

I guess it's not for me to say

I just don't know why He had to go and take you away

I understand things happen certain ways

That doesn't mean I never wanted you to stay

I believe I will see you again

Oh, but who will take good care of you till then?

For these things I come to You and pray

Oh Lord, please... watch over my baby

I had everything planned out for you and I

Thoughts of dancing, laughing, hugging, holding tight

Although that might not happen in this lifetime,

I look forward to holding your little hand in mine

Well maybe that's the way things are gonna be

What will it be like when I see you in that place?

Will I know you when I see your precious face?

Will we get to do the things we would have done?

Can I hug and squeeze you tightly in the sun?

Maybe that's the way things are gonna be. . .

I love you forever and for always baby girl!
