Dragonfly (Garretts song)

I had a very hard time singing this song so please excuse my voice on this. One of Garretts favorite things were Dragonflies. I wrote this song in dedication to him. The following are the words of his mother/
He remembered everything about anything. At age two, he would correct you if you mispronounced the name of dinosaurs in the factual books he liked to be read. In fact the baseball league designed him a patch that says "Dinosaur 1" Dinosaur being his nickname and #1 his number. He was very artistic. His artwork is framed in my office and the school where my office is located givens a memorial art award for him each year. His and the winners' artwork hang in the entrance of the school. He was a perfectionist. Garrett was the most loving little boy I have EVER known. Everyone he met deserved a hug. He never met a stranger and even at such a young age was intuitive enough to figure out what he could talk about that would interest you. Yes, he loved to talk--in his sleep, in the classroom, and to anyone who would listen.


Dragonfly/Rjaggers/4/4/2011 !

Spread your wings of blue and green
as you fly away
your smile is in my heart
I'll dream of brighter days
just let tomorrow hold you till my time arrives
then we will fly, sweet dragonfly
I feel your touch and often
see your shining eyes
so as you fly for freedom
go and touch the skies
just know that I am with you
even though you've gone
your dream lives on, sweet dragonfly
oh sweet child of mine
see me through these trying times
and you will be forever in my arms
Come now with me and we will
walk the sunlit shores
rest on my shoulder give me strength like times before
sit on the sunset and I'll sing you lullabyes
no need to cry, sweet Dragonfly

@fariethesun Hello Heidi, I don't know why you aren't getting my mails but they keep coming back to me. Her son Garrett was killed in an automobile accident, he was only seven years old, very very sad.

What a beautifully written song and your performance holds so much feeling. May little Garrett make himself felt, for he's only waiting in the next room. A wonderful video tribute to a very handsome child. ♥
