A year ago today God took you away,
To a home in heaven to forever stay.
The pain and loss of you is much to bear,
even after a year it’s always there.
When I think of the past and memories for awhile,
What I think of most is your beautiful smile.
Etched in my memory and in my heart,
When you went to heaven my world fell apart.
There is no greater sorrow,
Than to have you here today and gone tomorrow.
This is not the way it is supposed to be,
I wish you could come and trade places with me.
Why did this happen to you I will never know,
I search for an answer why you had to go.
A senseless tragedy with no respect for your life,
Which has caused me so much pain, tears and strife.
I remember you, my pride and joy every day,
But the pain and broken heart will never go away.
My heart is in many pieces as I try to carry on,
there is no normal life now that you are gone.
Although my heart is broken I know your in God’s care,
No one can ever hurt you again now that you are there.
In heaven with Mandi and Lexi waiting for the day,
For all your friends & family to join you and forever stay.
I asked God to bless me with faith and hope,
Strength and courage and to help me cope.
With the loss of you, so loved and so dear,
and all the things I missed so much this year!

This poem is soooooo beautiful Cindy, and noone could have said it any better. I hope, it helps you to ease your pain to write these lovely lines, and that it will get easier over the time, even I know, there´s nothing worser than loosing a child. You´re all in my thoughts and heart these days here, where I know, it´ll be a bit hard again. Take care.
U said it so well, Cindy. I can't believe one year has juz passed by.
May God keep n strengthen you today n always.

That was very tender and beautiful. I hope that you do find a way to go on. I read this with my only child. My 9 year old daughter. We are thinking of you and all those that cared for her.
Hugs to you Cindy. May God grant you peace and love today and in the weeks and years to come.
We cannot express in words, though we try over and over, to ease the sorrow one goes through when they suffer a loss such as yours, but there is that shining hope and belief that though they are no longer here, they are still. The spirit God gave each of us never dies, never grows old, and when our spirit leaves this earth, it waits until that glorious day when we are reunited with Christ Jesus and each other. That is what hope and grace and faith offer us, peace in knowing. GBY

I pray that God is with you on this especially difficult day. Take care.
Cindy....no parent should have to go through this loss. I am so sorry for your pain. This poem is beautiful and such a tribute to your lovely daughter. I hope you can some day find comfort in all the loving memories. Sending big hugs!
My heart goes out to you and your family. The hole will always be there but in time the happier memories will surpass the tragedy. God's blessings on this and every day.
Wonderful words!! You have the promise you will see her again. God bless you.
My heart is with you my friend..............

What a beautiful poem, Cindy. My thoughts are with you & your husband & the rest of your family.
Cindy my heart breaks for you and Kevin I recently faced a health scare with my daughter and it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I can't imagine your pain knowing how hard that was. You are in my prayers
What a beautiful poem, Cindy. It touched my heart because I lost my dad when I was 14...that was 37 years ago. I still miss him everyday, I'm certain I always will. God bless your faith and give you the strength and courage to find others in need. Perhaps giving love to others will help.
