Jennifer's In My Heart
Today you're turning 17; it is
your special day. We never
dreamed we'd celebrate your
birthday quite this way. With
flowers at your grave side,
words you cannot hear. Broken
hearts we've tried to mend; eyes
that fill with tears.
An empty space within our soul;
a hole within our heart. We miss
you more than words can say; our
lives are torn apart. I've
gathered pictures from the past
and looked at them awhile. The
image clearest in my mind is of
your radiant smile.
The love light shining from your
eyes, still fills my heart with
glee. The love and goodness of
your heart still reaches out to
me. Your courage, faith and
trust in God, never seemed to
cease. I close my eyes and pray
to Him, who blessed you with
such peace.
I wish that I could hold you
Jen, if only for once more. And
tell you that I love you though
you've passed through Heaven's
doors. I wish that I could thank
you, for all you gave to me. I
wish that we could talk awhile,
of things you now can see.
There's so much more we want to
say; so much we want to share.
We want to know you're happy
now, an angel shining there.
Touching lives and reaching out;
that always was your way. But we
must simply know, my dear,
you're safe with God today.
We know the Lord must share the
pride, that overflows within.
What a glory to His name, your
ministry for Him. Even through
your darkest hours, you
protected me. Trusting God to
see you through, things I
refused to see.
Lifting me each time I fell,
shielded by your love.
Encouraging and urging me to
turn my eyes above. To see the
angels waiting there, to gently
take your hand. Away from mine
to lead you home, unto God's
Promised Land.
The hope that let us fight so
hard and help along the way.
Replaced by knowing, darling
Jen, we'll meet again someday.
Until then, your memories will
have to be enough. To lift us as
you always did, whenever things
got rough.
We'll see your face among the
clouds, as sunlight filters
through. We'll see you in each
budding flower and every radiant
bloom. We'll see you in each
twinkling star that fills the
sky with light. We'll see you in
each sparkling snow that falls
throughout the night.
We'll feel you in each gentle
breeze, and feel you in the
rain. That leaves wet drops, you
used to wipe, across the
windowpane. But most of all, we
hope you know, we'll never be
apart. Love made a special place
for you, you're buried in our
hearts.
With love to Jennifer
Written with love in dedication
and memory of my precious
daughter, Jennifer Lyn Mullenax
