My Sweet Amy

start
My sweet Amy

The first time they laid you in my arms you were so small and precious, 
the perfect gift from above and in an instant I fell in love.

From a girl to a woman I would watch you grow,
it was the perfect plan you know.

But didn't realize how it would happen so fast,
I just wish that I could go back and relive the past.

For the plan I once had would no longer be,
when God called you home I felt so all alone.

The day we had to part,
 left a big gaping hole in my heart.

Now every day I wake and cry,
for I never had the chance to say good bye.

Then I think of your laugh and smile
and know I will see them again in a short while.

I often speak your name, now all I have are memories
 and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake with which I shall never part,
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

I will miss you and think of you with love
And know you are with our love ones above.

Rest in Peace
Love Mom

END

The love of a mother, undying. So sorry for your loss. A well-written tribute to your daughter.
