Wait just a second. I thought i heard the laughter in the back of my head. And i can't help but see the image of you dancing in the skies of my mind.

Dear Elijah, i throw my arms up above my head for you.
My Dearest Elijah, the memory of you forever burns in my heart... i love you, i miss you, what do i do?
Dear Elijah. my Dearest elijah.

Just hold on one second. i swear i heard you whisper in my ear. it was your sweet voice you're an angel. it brought me to tears and down to my knees.

Oh, i love you...i miss you... what do i do?
Dear elijah. my dearest Elijah-ah-ahhh.
Elijah.

I wrote this song a while back after my two year old nephew Elijah passed away. I sang it at his funneral and I Loved him dearly even if I did only know him 2 years. It was the best 2 years of memmories I have.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
