REMINDED~

Hines~
When you look
to the twinkling stars in the midnight skies,
Be reminded
of the sparkle in her eyes.
When you hear
the music of the morning birds,
Be reminded
of her sweet voice when she spoke her words.
When you see
the glory of a rose touched by the morning dew,
Be reminded
of the beauty you saw when she smiled at you.
Although she
was taken from this world much too soon,
Be reminded
of her when you gaze upon a soulful moon.
When your
heart hurts because of your undying love,
Be reminded
that she is still with you, an angel above.
When you're
missing her so much you feel it is tearing you apart
Be reminded...she
is with you...in that very special place...
in your heart.
~MY
SPECIAL ANGEL~
Sleep now my
gentle Vanessa,
You have earned
eternal rest.
Though your
light shined much too briefly,
By your love
we all were blessed.
You brightened
the lives of many
With your
gentle, caring ways....
You touched
the hearts of all who knew you,
Your essence
is here today.
My world will
now be darker,
My heart is
filled with pain,
But there's
one more star in Heaven,
Illuminating
God's domain.
Sleep now,
my gentle Vanessa,
Soothed by
Angel lullabies and prayers.
Your love
will live on forever,
Although death
has closed your eyes.
You're woven
into my soul Vanessa,
You will always
live on with pride.
I know I feel
your gentle kisses
When you're
walking by my side.
As a Mother
I feel cheated.....
I lost your
earthly being.
As a mother
I feel blessed.....
For having
fourteen years of bliss.
You are always
in my mind, my heart, my soul,
You are a
part of what I am.
One day I
will see you again..................
I live to
greet that wondrous moment
And hold you
once again.
~A
SPECIAL FAREWELL~
When each new
life begins
It is automatically
presumed
That longevity
is in the wind
With the special
promise of time
To love, to
grow, to enjoy, to win,
To learn,
to teach, to succeed, to leave behind
A legacy of
the heart and mind.
Vanessa we
miss you and always will,
But the gift
of the heart and mind you leave behind
Will be ours
to hold onto and reach for
As you, a
star and sun in our lives watch over us
And guide
us from afar.
From all your
classmates, teachers and friends
at
Seneca Junior
High
Special
people touch our lives
in everything
they do
and leave
us changed
long after
they have gone.
The gifts
they gave us
can become
a part of who we are ~
a legacy of
beauty
that live
on.
A life so young
released to
heaven...
Left on earth,
we wonder
"Why?"
But some are
sent
among us briefly...
Some have
spirits
meant to fly.
IN
LOVING MEMORY OF VANESSA
If
ever my grief were measured
or my sorrow
put on a scale,
it would outweigh
the sands of the ocean....
For God has
hidden my way
and put hedges
across my path.
I sit and gnaw
on my grief;
my groans
pour out like water.
My worst nightmares
have come to life.
Silence and
peace have abandoned me,
and anguish
camps in my heart.
Dear Mom,
Although our
time together on earth was short
Because of
you my life was filled with joy
Because of
you I knew what it was like to be truly loved
We didn't
get a chance to say good-bye
Or for me
to thank you or to tell you how much I love you
God knows
how hard life has been for you
Since he called
me home
So He created
this special rose just for you
He wanted
me to thank you for taking such good care of me
And whenever
you feel alone and think that I am not near
Just look
at this rose and know that I am always with you
I will live
forever in your heart.
Love,
Vanessa
