You were born the day he died
A senseless death, can’t see why
He tried to flee, but couldn’t run
They came too fast, he saw the sun

We call you Joey, in his name
You are joy brought from the pain
He sees you now from up above
As you go thru life my little one

You are but two and knowing that
He wishes you joy and happiness
He loves you dearly try not to cry
Let those big, blue eyes dry

“Mommy can I call my daddy
Just to make sure he’s happy”
How do you answer that
Tell me how, answer back…

Sure we can, lets fold our hands
We say a prayer, I slowly stand
Tuck him in and say good night
My sweet baby, my future, my life…
