"Precious Memories"
In Loving Memory
Of
Van Buren Wheeler, I V "Lil Pap"
I N MY M IND
Somewhere in my dreams tonight I'll see you standing there You look at me with a smile "Life isn't always fair"
You say you were chosen for His garden His preciously hand picked bouquet "God really needed me, That's why I couldn't stay"
It's said to be that angels Are sent from above
I've always had my angel My son - whose heart was filled with love
Wherever the ocean meets the sky There will be memories ofyou and I
When I look up at that sky so blue All I see are visions ofyou
"While there's a heart in me, You'll be a part ofme."
