| Welcome to my tribute page! I wrote these poems and stories during my grieving process. I found that writing is therapeutic, and it also gives me a spiritual awakening. They are not meant to make you sad or cause you grief; but hopefully, your spirit will be touched with Peace and Comfort. Losing loved ones at any age is a devastating experience. Our lives change course, and we are forced to go on a journey that we are not ready for; nor are we ever prepared. Although this journey is never pleasant, it is one that is necessary. I invite you to join me on this journey. It has taken me places I had never been before; however, I learned that Love does not end in death, and I found God's Love and Mercy in all of it. I pray that you, also, will find the answers in your sorrow. |

| Dear God, Make Me A Child Again There are times I feel abandoned, Mom; there are times I feel despair. Outstretched hands reach out for you; but never seem to find you there. There are times when I look at the sky; and hope that I shall see. A tiny glimpse of heaven, Mom; a glimpse of you and you of me. Dear God, make me a child again; when things weren't all that bad. For those were the times of nursery rhymes; when nothing made me sad. If I could only be a child again; think of all the games we'd play. Mom's just in her secret hiding place; she has not really gone away. There are things that I miss, like your tender kiss and the sweet smell of your perfume. Arms holding me tight, giving shelter to night; skin soft as a flower in bloom. A kiss on the brow, and words "Go to sleep now" as you nestle me snug in my bed. I'd wake up and rejoice to the sound of your voice; So I was dreaming! You really aren't dead! Please, Dear God, make me a child again; so I might see her once again. For my innocence would shield me; from feeling this much pain. But if I cannot be a child once more; please help me be content. To wait and meet her at the door; when I am Heaven sent. |

| Oh Daddy! Oh Daddy! Oh Daddy! Oh Daddy! Why did you go? And leave me here feeling alone? Were Mom's arms inviting? Was God's Word enticing? Or was our Savior's Voice calling you home? Did you have words of knowledge, or visions of night? Or did you just feel in your heart. That now was the time to take up your flight, And that this was the day to depart. Did you trust in our Lord to take care of my pain? Did you ask to send Angels abound? Did you ask Him to shield me from tears of refrain, So my sorrow would not weigh me down. I just want you to know as I lay you to rest, That the Comforter's here right beside me. I love you, I miss you, but I know it is best, That you make your new home in Eternity. So Daddy! Oh Daddy! This isn't goodbye, But only a bend in the road. For someday, I too, shall dwell there on High, In God's beautiful, peaceful abode. |
