The moment you entered my life
My first impression of you curled in that bassinet
Will be forever frozen in time…..
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I close my eyes to see
The curly blond, blue eyed toddler
Smiling as she gives me a gift of painted rocks….
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I feel the rain
As we traipsed through
The streets of Washington, D.C….
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I laugh at the stories
Of you and our brother
With frozen eyes in New York City…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I am also giggling
At the stories of road travel
Especially trying to get into Canada…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I am reminded of
Your “twin”….your friend from birth
As I took care of you both in the Church Nursery…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I smile at the memory of your
Shared birthday celebration in Roseburg
With your precious friend you so wanted me to meet…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
Those many phone calls
Talks of concern about grades…about life….
Decisions to be made…..reassurance and hope….
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
Your look of disbelief
When I said he feels the same
For I saw how he looked at you…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
The doting Aunt
Whose nephew and niece
Looked at you as one who walked on water….
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
Somehow you always knew
The right word…the right touch….the right insight
To help….to guide….to enlighten…to share…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
I often wondered how
You could do so much
In such a short amount of time…
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
You are the most precious gift
Given from our Father above
Thank you for your love…your laugh….your insights….
Will Forever be Always in my Heart…
