I know he is somewhere, watching over me
for he has a billion promises to keep,
ones that he made when I bruised my little knee,
or when his angelic voice lulled me to sleep;
I know he is here, waiting to be set free
from shackles of a world that hurt him so deep.
I know it's him, the butterfly on her nose,
reminding me of his love that'll always grow.

— it's all in the little things
