She Patiently Awaits...

SHE PATIENTLY AWAITS...

                        In memory of the teen Amber Dubois and 
                                  by Donna Newton 2010

       C linging to the special memories as
         if silently creating a shrine, 
    Adding to them many more that at 
        the time was just simply life

     I t is belief that you are in a better      
           place because where you 
          are is in God's loving grace, 
         and even though we believe 
         this too, Evil still got through 
                 our protecting you

     M y soul is hollow, cold with grief
        I am consumed by the tears 
      that run rivers deep, and while 
             guilt fights to thaw this 
              overwhelming grief,
             my parental obligation 
               is not yet complete, 
              as my surviving children 
              need a mom to be here
                 for them until they
                     too move on

         S o it is here and now Lord
              I call upon my faith 
    as the pain has made me weak...
       dear heavenly father please
     grant me strength to continue 
         life's journey now without
                   my angel's face

        I ask of you Father please
        keep a close watch as my 
              baby is now alone..
       And however long it takes
           she will patiently wait
     to be reunited with mommy
        As we walk through your
                heavenly gates

So sorry for the loss of anyone's life, especially that of a child. May God judge those that take the lives of innocent children!
