To Niels


Raindrops are falling on your head
I hear them fall, lying in my bed

Wishing I could shelter you from all this rain
But all I feel is inconceivable pain

Thoughts of winter, a white blanket on your grave
Moves me and makes me cry, you were so brave

I will always love you and you are always on my mind
The tears have wet my eyes, making me blind

I love you Niels, you will forever be my little boy
And I know, we both will have at some day lots of joy



Your daddy
