Braedin

You were always on the go, running out the door

Barefoot in the grass, always looking for more

Swinging in the yard until the sun went down

A beautiful and funny soul, spreading light around

We were out there planting flowers in the dirt

I hold onto those memories when it starts to hurt

Oh, Braedin, I miss you more than words can say

I think about your spirit every single day

I’m sorry I wasn't who I should’ve been for you

I carry that regret in everything I do

You loved your mom, your sisters, and your friends

And I know you're safe and happy where the daylight never ends

I can still see you climbing up the highest tree

Riding bikes down the street, feeling wild and free

Heading to the beach with the windows rolled down

Listening to music as we drove out of town

You had a heart so big for the earth and the sky

I look up at the branches and I have to wipe my eye

Oh, Braedin, I miss you more than words can say

I think about your spirit every single day

I’m sorry I wasn't who I should’ve been for you

I carry that regret in everything I do

You loved your mom, your sisters, and your friends

And I know you're safe and happy where the daylight never ends

I wish I could go back and rewrite the past

Hold onto those moments and make them last

Be the steady ground beneath your restless feet

But I find my comfort knowing your peace is complete

Oh, Braedin, I love you more than words can say

I'll carry your memory every single day

I’m sorry I wasn't who I should’ve been for you

But I see you in the forest and the ocean blue

You loved your mom, your sisters, and your friends

And I know you're safe and happy now, until my journey ends
