Someday's this journey seems long and winding
Just like the Yellow Brick Road,
Sometime's I feel I have lost my way...
And feel like I'm carrying such a heavy load.
Just like Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion,
And the Tin Man as she went along her way...
I too have met many compassionate people along my way...
But I have also lost just as many who shyed away.
Just like the Scarecrow wanted a brain
I think I could use a bigger one too...
To hold my memories of sweet yesterdays
And remember everything she used to do!
Just like the Tin Man wanted a heart
I think I could use a new one too...
As mine is broken in a million pieces.
Someday's I just don't know what to do.
Like the Cowardly Lion who wanted some courage
I too want some courage...to help me climb this hill...
To keep me moving through this world of grief
When the whole world seems to be standing still.
When the poppy flowers made Dorothy tired...
The Scarecrow was going to pull her along...
I too need friends to be by my side...
To listen and help me be strong.
If only this story was true
And Katelyn could click her shoes three times or four...
And say "There's no place like home"...
And she would be in my arms once more.
If only I could also wake up from this bad dream
And go back in time...
And have my child here once more
And leave this thing called grief behind.
But since life is not a fairy tale...
And my wishes cannot come true,
We will remember her and all that she was
MY BEAUTIFUL SWEET CHILD...I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
I will continue on my journey with God by my side
And help the fight for a better cure...
Raise more awareness to childhood disease...
And all that these precious children have had to endure.
Yes, my child is somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high...
In a place that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
