A Tribute To Heather
"A Tribute to Heather "
It all started 38 years ago
December 11
An angel was sent from heaven
From the time she came out the womb
She was special , she was unique
she was a queen
she lit up the room with her self esteem
growing up we knew
that her heart was pure and true
Heather you gave us a view
that most would never understand
a part of God's plan
that you are and I am so glad you made it this far
some days have been rough
it's been a battle
but you rode it
like a horse on a saddle
you had strength
that was stronger than a muscle
you had courage that could have been doubled
you had faith that things would get better
you showed us you could wither through
any kind of weather
your spirit touched
so many
while you were here
even though you're physically gone
your spirit feels so near
even though you had cancer
you didn't let that be the answer
you exceeded all of the above
showered us with love
the shirt off your back
you would give
with your life you so lived
without you the puzzle is not complete
A woman who walked in Faith
regardless of her trials and tribulations
your amazing fight could never be replaced
A heart of Gold
That was you
It's time to dig a little deep
For this battle you did complete
The life changing
things you had to do
some days you didn't be feel like you were you
the chemotherapy, the radiation
some days you would dread
some days didn't feel like getting out of bed
the loss of hair,
sometime couldn't rest
But know that God saw your best
he gave you strength and gave you hope
he said hold on Heather , continue to grab this rope
And so you did, you were an awesome mother to your kids
anything they needed and wanted you always gave
to have you back I know they would trade
you were a conquerer to your last breath
you were never selfish
Never thought about self
even with your health
you never let it define you
look to your left look to your right
we are always behind you
you ran the race , you walk for the cause
you remained humble through it all
A great sister , a great mother, a great daughter , a great cousin , a great neice ,a great friend
it hurt my ?? that your life here had to end
during your 38 years on Earth
you did so many things
brought joy to our hearts
fulfilled all your dreams
had a smile so bright
you glowed you gleamed
HC Strong
that was your strength
that showed how you moved mountains
pushed rocks, how you held on
no it was never forgot
The Lord called your name
And Heather you came
And got your beautiful heavenly wings
You fought to the end , and you fought the fight
you let us know that you are alright
you are watching over us all
and though you are not here in the flesh
you are resting beautifully up in the sky
and if you shall cry, cry tears of joy
for Heather made it to the kingdom
where she is no longer hurting
she is at peace , even though our hearts are heavy, she wants us to continue to fight
for she changed all our lives
May the life you lived speak for itself
and yours did
You touch so many lives
made so many people enjoy life
with everything you always sacrificed
you are physically gone
In honor of
HC Strong
we will keep your name and legacy alive
and walk for the cause with pride
we will miss you forever
this is my tribute to you
My Friend , Heather
