• I still hear your sweet little voice in my heart;
    And feel the warmth of your tiny touch in my soul.
    I still see the home-made valentines covered in scribble,
    Only legible to me.
    We never needed money.
    Time together was enough.
    I tried my best to protect you little one,
    I really did.
    But there are some things even you understood.
    Like why mommy was gone;
    And why home was hell.
    You were the strongest little mountain,
    Anyone's ever seen.
    If I had known our time was so limited,
    I'm not sure if things would have been the same.
    I already cherished you too much to say.
    You'll always be my little valentine no matter how life goes.
    And I'll always hold onto you, my precious little Rose.
