In Memory of Your Son / Marta Gerrity (none)
I saw Hayden's spirit lord,
very late last night,
I was looking at the heavens,
and praying with all my might.
I prayed for peace for his family,
and for strength and courage too,
I asked for his sweet spirit,
to keep on shining through.
I asked the lord to light his way,
to keep him in his heart,
To show them that his spirit lord,
is never far apart.
I know… because I’ve seen it,
he doesn’t seem so far,
his spirit still shines brightly
and it looks just like a star.
And God please keep reminding them
you didn’t take him far,
you needed him in heaven
and you sent them back a star.
I know he keeps on doing,
everything that he did here,
and he'll keep on shining brightly,
in the sky throughout the year.
he'll be watching over his family
he’ll show them all the way,
the path for them to follow
each and every day.
So when they really miss him
And they don't know what to do,
I can pray to God to show them,
what they already knew,
that he is still here with them,
and they'll see him every day
they can close our eyes and think of him,
his spirit still shines through.
Remind them that they're not alone,
that he still loves them so
and his greatest wish for his family
is to continue on their own.
It'll bring them so much comfort,
When they do what they must do,
To know that he’s still with them,
And his light’s still shining through.
