She's So Much Like You In So Many Ways, Happy Birthday to both of you Options

[Lei-Lei'smom]

She's so much like you in so many ways

She plays the games you used to play
with all the wonder of each new day
She tears up her toys, then expects more
I smile as I remember you did the same before
Who could know there are only so many days
She's so much like you in so many ways

Her eyes shine with the same mischievous glow
I recall when yours did, so long ago
To have looked into yours longer, and see you gaze back
and just like yours was, her coat is all black
But as I run my hands through her mane
somehow it's different and yet it's the same

She resembles you, I think you know
memories flood me as I've watched her grow
She comforts me when I'm blue for you
did you send her my way 'cause you somehow knew
I would be lost without you to brighten my days
She's so much like you in so many ways

Memories still come, never to be forgot
most are wonderful... but, others are not
When those do come I call her to me
she knows much more than most will ever see
Until we meet again I still hold onto her
As I think of you a tear falls to her fur

When she looks up at me sometimes I still see you
shining through her eyes showing love so true
I know you don't mind I am enchanted by her charm
for my love for you stays ever safe and protected from harm
Then she runs off to find some new trouble to start today
She's so much like you in so many ways

She loves me now almost as much as you did then
As your life here was reaching it's end, hers was about to begin
Oh, a part of my heart, it left with you
when away to Heaven your spirit it flew
She is here now, confident, in your place
A quick glimpse of you when I look upon her face

Time has moved on, as it does for all
I force myself up whenever I fall
My days are brighter with her in my life
Your echo, she is, a welcome relief from strife
I know you are never very far away
reminded as she comes to me wanting, again, to play

Yes, she's so much like you... in so many ways


Today, I must thank both of you for each playing a part in my life. Leibchen, Marmy's little daughter, I still love, and miss you, and always will. Echo, Mommy's little girl, I love you too. While you may not be Lei-Lei, you are like her in so many ways.
Leibchen would have been sixteen, and Echo is three years old today. Happy Birthday to both of you!

Not goodbye.....just until
Marmy always comes back for you
