This is a beautiful and loving gift to Laura from my dear friend, Linda.



Six Years In Heaven




A Mother's Crown

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.

Within My Tear

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.

The images and two poems above are from the Memorial page created by Laurasmom, October, 2007




This beautiful image is a gift to Laura from Susie, mom to Angel Jason.



The sixth year has now arrived
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


How shall I go on? Is there a way?
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?


With every breath I take, I will remember you
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

Your Sweet Lily

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..


Laura, You are missed and loved by all who know your precious mom
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..





This mother's heart
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

MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Jason, Our Gift From God

If you ever think of me
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

"Be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow Me and I will give you rest."



Dearest Ann and ANGEL Laura
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.


CORE

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
