Kere Renee Shipman Collins
The New Year is here again. . . . I see,
Another trying 365 days ahead of me.
It's been 3 years, since Kere was alive,
I am not really sure just how I've survived.
Oh, there have been bad days, many of them,
Many days that I had to call upon Him.
There were even those days, I would rather have died,
Those were the ones that I cried and I cried.
Kere was such a rare gracious gift,
Now when I think of her it gives me a lift.
You see, I truly believe that Kere is near
Her way of helping me work through my fears.
I catch myself bragging about her to friends,
And I know she is saying, "There she goes again!"
But as long as I live, so too shall she
I GAVE HER LIFE, a part that remains with me.
Kere, I love you more than words can say,
Although your in heaven, I sense you everyday.
Thank you for being with me for 21 years
And please understand when Mom sheds those tears.

With A Lot of Love
