HOME SWEET HOME
SARAH'S FIRST BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
My private poem I did not send to Patty, thought it was too sad

I think of what will never be...the joy
of seeing Sarah turn three

I'm sad that there will be no balloons or birthday cake;
never will she blow the candles out,
"Lord why?!" I still shout.

I must accept that for Sarah we will not celebrate her birthday
again, I imagine her at five and then ten, and
what a lovely teen she would of been...

To express my deep feelings of loss, I can't
even begin.

11/13/97

                 SUDDENLY SARAH

As suddenly as she came, she went, suddenly, suddenly...

Sarah was truly Heaven sent, so suddenly taken away from us..suddenly, suddenly

She brightened our days for her short life, then
suddenly, suddenly...she went to be with Jesus

We miss her so much here on earth; untill suddenly the Lord will return and suddenly,
suddenly, we will see Sarah again
         
                   Suddenly, suddenly
                   we will reunite, then
                   it will be allright

(This is a song I wrote to my own little lullabye
   tune        12/21/97)
                              THIS IS A SONG OUR BROTHER ED WROTE
                                JUST AFTER SARAH DIED, HE SANG IT AT
                                                       HER FUNERAL

      
If ever there ws a miracle from God, Oh Sarah she was
             Even for such a short, short time
               Oh lord how she touched our live
                     Wake up in the morning
                         mom it's time to play
                             no time to clean up
                                 we must be on our way
                                    Lord we thank you for the life you give
                                      we know that you can take away
                                            the burning question in all our hearts
                                                 is why you coulndn't let her stay?
                                                       Wait for daddy in the
                                                           afternoon, behind the
                                                                  front door screen, He
                                                                    prays that she might be
                                                                       there, from now on,
                                                                               only in his dreams

                                                                      September 1997
