Poem
God's Daughter When she was and infant she rarely cried She couldn't speak but she often tried She had a smile that resembled her mother's Intelligent eyes like her fathers who loved her Her angelic hair, warm like a sunset Was ritually brushed when she quietly slept In her ears, which were pierced, were Amethyst stones For the month she was born they glimmered when shone Three faded freckles peppered her nose "This little piggy," would wriggle her toes She was a gift from the heavens that be An answered prayer from bended knees Every day was a gift every moment a dream The time that they shared was a pleasant routine With nourishing meals and warm baby baths Ticklish smiles that went from giggles to laughs The tantrums she threw when in a bad mood Faces she made when she tasted new food And nights when her father would fall asleep with her "You are my darling,” is what he would whisper Those precious nights he held her so close Squeezing so tight that they both made on pulse On her first day of school she cried in his arms He made a promise to keep her from harm So on that same day he did not go home But stayed there all day so she wasn't alone She could open his heart with just one glance Later that night he taught her to dance In junior high she complained of her weight He'd brush back her hair and say she looked great No longer a child she was making new friends Finding new interests and following new trends He loved her so, she gave his life meaning Giving him faith, hope, joy and reason One summer night she did not come home And he could not be reached on her cellular phone A knocked at the door came with bad news A body was found lifeless and bruised She was the victim of a violent assault He fell to his knees hurt and distraught After her funeral he no longer prayed He was angry with God, he felt betrayed An angel appeared in his thoughts while he slept As they embraced the both of them wept "Sometimes The Lord must sacrifice One of his children to save many lives When innocent blood is carelessly spilled The world becomes safer because evil's revealed God too had a child persecuted by evil Who died on the cross for the sins of all people Your child will be with Him in the heavens above Guarded by peace and eternal love" Dedicated to Meghan Landowski September 25, 1991 – April 10, 2008
