Laura Ann Sorbara Kimble Sunrise November 5, 1968 Sunset October 19, 2002 Heaven lit up with His mighty presence As all the Angels looked down, Today the Lord was placing the jewels, In all the mother's crowns. He held up a golden crown, As all the mother's looked on, He said in His gentle voice, "I just want to explain each stone". He held the first gem in His hand But the radiance could not match His own. For He was the light of Heaven, Reflecting off each of the stones. "The first gem, He said, is an emerald, And it's for endurance alone, For all the nights you waited up. For your children to come home. For all the nights by their bedside, You stayed till the fever went down, For nursing every little wound, I add this emerald to your crown. A ruby, I'll place by the emerald, For leading your child in the right way, For if you hadn't taught them about me, They wouldn't be here with you today. For always being right there, Thru all life's important events, I give you a sapphire stone, For the time and love you spent." For untying the strings that held them, When they grew up and left home, I give you this one for courage. Then the Lord added an amethyst stone. I'll place a stone of garnet," He said, For all the times you spent on your knees, When you asked Me to take care of your children, And then for having faith in Me. I have a pearl for every little sacrifice, That you made without them knowing, For all the times you went without, To keep them happy, healthy, and growing. And last of all I have a diamond, The greatest of all gems, For those mother's who lost their children, When they came home to heaven before them. This is the most precious sacrifice, So I give the most precious stone, For I know just how you felt, I too lost a child of my own. After the Lord placed the last jewel in, He said, "Heaven is now complete, For every mother has her crown of jewels, And all her children are at her feet. ~ Author Unknown You seek to find the friend in me, With a desire upon your face, But not finding what you see, For a stranger has taken my place. You seek the friend of yesterday, When my child was still alive, Deeply feeling the things you say, In hope your friend will revive. That friend is here, hidden from view, Behind the veil of grief filled cries, Trying to believe it cannot be true, Looking through pain soaked eyes. Search for me with deep love, Knowing my heart is no longer here, But held in God's sweet hands above, So, to see me, look deep within my tear. By: Paul D. McCutcheon, Copyright (c) 08/08/2003 As I think back to all the days gone by when you were here beside me We lived our perfect lives With so many plans and things to do We had no clue that a day would come That I'd be losing you, or you'd be leaving Or that I had to watch as you slowly slipped away and then stopped breathing With every breath I take I will remember you How can thoughts of you be left behind When you forever live inside my mind Every day, all night long and in my dreams You're part of me and your memory Brings to mind things that used to be Breathing is a lot of work to do each day The daily struggle to live and still go on Always remembering the day that you were born How can I return into a world that for me appears so very wrong Where now I'm weak and can't be strong With every breath I take, I will remember you Locked away in a secret corner where no one else can see The way I grieve and the bleeding hole where once a heart had been Were you taken because I made a mortal grievous sin? Can it be that I am punished by an angry God For something that I did or not being what I should have been? The earth stopped spinning long ago The day I died with you; Then lost and wandering in the night in my dreams taking flight to places I don't know Never able to find my way back home I'll have to wait until another season comes To bring me over to that distant shore of mystery where you have gone I will remember you till then and so Your memory will live on Laurasmom (c) 2006, Revised 2008 Laura, Your mom is so special to all of us, She is forever caring and making a fuss Over us and bringing us joy and we can trust Her great big heart to each of us.. Who have the burden of you being away In heaven with the other children only our hearts can say, We miss you and love you and care beyond earthly words and tender thoughts of you each day. Our hearts are still broken And it is a special token Of our love for you Our hearts remain sad and blue.. We can never be free until we see you all again Remembering to live is Christ and to die is gain We are ever changing, but we are still the same Mother who awaits the time when we can hold you all close again, To see your beauty and carefree smiles We'd walk to heaven and its golden miles To touch your hands, to see your face Indeed we can only imagine your heavenly grace To smell the fragrance of the gentle, feminine child with eyes so full of light You all are God's joy and delight.. Please send us golden stardust from heaven's realm Bringing us comfort that does not overwhelm And let waters flow from the River of Life To our wash our achy, hurting hearts and take away all strife.. and want her to know that she is an earthly treasure and gift to us.. We ask God to keep you safe until she can be with you again.. Laura, You are forever beautiful and each new day you increase in fairness and grace.. God bless you, ((((Ann)))).. You are remembered and your Laura will remain a gift from you to us.. LOVE ever so much, Norma Jean and remembering my Marjorie.. Has known much pain and sorrow Just in knowing you will not be with me tomorrow God's Word tells me that on one sweet day all this will end And in the brilliance of His Face My heart will mend But for now my sweet and precious child Just wait for me around the bend Where troubles are no more And there I'll have you back again Ann Simmons Jason, Our Gift From God Please see me as I am, not as I used to be A desperate mother drowning in an ocean filled with tears No difference the amount of years He comes and lifts me from this ocean From which there's no escape Where I could sweetly drown myself Not looking back, regretting my mistake I cling to this Savior's Hand As I feel the waters rise above my head He brings me back to see the road ahead He walks the path of sorrow along with me And leads the way that I must pass One day; one day my dear sweet angel I will see clearly and not through some glass darkly That blurs my vision now to where I cannot see And there this tear filled ocean will recede And through my spirit eyes I'll see you Waiting in the heavens just for me Laurasmom (c) 2006 Because my ANGEL Lee was so special to me, and I know ANGEL Laura was to you, I would love to share this poem that my ANGEL wrote, one of many he did write. Softness of the skin Sweetness in the smell Nectar of the fruit Tender in the heart Dancing in the eyes Uplifting in the smile Tickle of the touch Joining in the love Truth in the speech Love in the laughter Primal in the scream Soft in the whisper Quick in the mind Fair in the sentence Brave in the confrontation Joining in the love Graceful in the sleep Careful in the search Deep in the sorrow Strength in the sickness Giving of thy self Rich in the health Kind in the giving Joining in the love Written By Lee Henry Aguilera~~~Lee'sMom MY DEEPEST LOVE TO YOU ANN I have no words to thank you for the beauty which you have created with your magnificent talent.
