Her Life RememberedI held you in my hands when you were just a sparkle in your mother’s eye. I gently placed you in your mother’s womb and watched you grow and come to life.
Those who loved you and love you still are too numerous to count And those whose lives you touched for me will one day before you give account. Your life has been a gem, a precious stone amidst the sand And now my child the time has come to finally take my hand.
When your little form was born that day and placed in your mother’s arms, I whispered a promise in your ear to always keep you safe and warm.
Those who have gone before you are eager to look upon your face My child come near and know the warmth of my strong embrace.
I saw in your eyes an angel and I longed for you to be always near So I touched your heart and closed your ears so only my voice you would hear.
Come be my bride in heaven and don your angelic wings Sit beside my throne and close your eyes and listen to the angels sing.
I was with you as you grew and gave you strength in times of need And I watched you laugh and cry and love and always plant my seeds. Your heart shone with a beauty that others can only seek And I sat with you for hours on end in the silence you would keep. You learned to speak to others with a silent voice they’d understand All the love and warmth you spread to hearts you touched with elegant hands. Your life, not always easy, was carefully guarded by my wings. And although your ears were deaf, my angels to your heart would sing. You made me smile daily as you joked and teased and played And in my heart I gathered all the laughter those around you made. When you found yourself alone and facing some despair, I wiped your tears and took your fears and placed you in another’s care.
Those you leave behind will mourn and miss the daily glow of your heart But your smiles will be felt from heaven and from your memory they will not part. Your life will be honored and remembered in the hearts of the children, women and men You touched and blessed as they await their own days in heaven to embrace you once again.

You were my earthly angel and your heart so full of love I gave you to another family to bless as I protected you from above. You’re health began to fade, but I was never far away I lent my own heart to another who would care for you each day. My hand was always on you as you experienced both joy and strife And I gave to you the friendships of my saints as you journeyed through this life.
