Marc A Barnette, E Bentley
A true story that happened in our family. God has since Blessed Jill and Joe (and our family) with two beautiful. healthy children, Jack and Ava... Oh, and thank you Marc Alan Barnette for helping tell this story so beautifully....
EMMA'S FLOWERS Marc Alan Barnette/ Ed Bentley

She would have turned 5 today
And we put daisies on her grave
You have to wonder bout the wisdom God's imparted
I cant beleive how much our family has been touched
By a life that ended before it ever started

Every first of July I think about
What she'd be doing now

chorus
Emma's Flowers
Are where she'd want to be
Planted rows in the garden, right behind the swings
We plant them in her memory
And their fed by heavens showers
I know she's up there looking down
Down on Emma's Flowers

Wish she could see her sister Ava
In her play house having tea
She always sets an extra table place
Once she invited her Grampa and before he could take a seat
She reminded him, that was Emma's space


Emma's spirt is in everything around that back yard
To feel it you dont have to look that far

Chorus

Bridge
Today just like 4 times before we come to this place
Tie a daisy and a card to a balloon, watch it fly away!!!

Chorus
