🎵 "I Carry You With Me"

(A pure, heartfelt song)

Every day I wake, I feel you near,

Sometimes with a smile, sometimes a tear.

The world keeps spinning, but something inside stays still,

I carry stories in me, of what I always will.

My little cousin, brave and strong,

You fought the fight but it felt so long.

Your eyes kept shining until the last day,

A sunbeam child, with fire none could take away.

I miss your voice, your laugh, your way,

I hold you in my heart, you’ll always stay.

You’re up above, free from all pain,

But here below, your light remains.

And Ninja, you were my closest friend,

You felt me before words could even begin.

You walked beside me through silent grief,

When I didn’t speak, you knew my belief.

But the moment came, I had to say goodbye,

I looked in your eyes, love and pain running high.

You understood, I felt it right then,

Still it hurt so much to walk alone again.

And Grandma, you’re far away in the sun,

In Suriname, where your new life begun.

Sometimes I hear your voice when I’m still in bed,

Your wise words, your gentle face I’ll never forget.

Though you’re not close, you live in my heart,

I know you think of me, that gives me strength to start.

You taught me love, you taught me peace,

Grandma, you’re my endless release.

Mom, you’re home, now just with Rocky there,

I see you sometimes, quiet with care.

You’re so strong, but you have your fight,

And sometimes I wish I was closer tonight.

Rocky barks soft, like he misses me too,

Like he’s searching every room, every clue.

But you, Mom, you keep standing tall,

For you, I sing this song, you’re not alone at all.

I carry you with me, in all I do,

In every step forward, in every breakthrough.

In the nights I lie awake and stare,

I hear your voices, soft but clear.

You’re not gone, you live in me,

In every tear, every laugh, everything I see.

My life is built on what I received from you,

That’s why I keep walking, even when it’s blue.

Cousin, you are love,

Ninja, you are true,

Grandma, you are wisdom,

Mom, you are strength too.

You are my roots, my sun, my fire,

My light in dark days, my gentle shelter higher.

I sing this song for you, and me,

To remind that love never truly leaves.

As long as I live, I carry those I lost,

But never without love, that’s what matters most.

I carry you with me,

Forever, every day,

In my voice, in my steps,

In everything I say or play.

You are my story,

My pain and my grace,

And with this song, I keep you in place.
