Beautiful Reflection

I am the person I am because of you
You showed me everyday a love that was true
Now in the heavens your soul sleeps
Sometimes late at night after all these years my heart still weeps

Then I smile for a moment or two
When the memories come flooding in of you
You are the reason that I am honest and kind
Everything about me is a beautiful reflection of you, it serves to remind
Tears fall down on my face, because I just miss you so much
I miss your beautiful face, the feel of your wonderful touch

Mom, please don't ever forget me, while you're up there
For down here on Earth, I will always love you and forever I shall care
It's because of miracles like you, that this world is a better place
What I wouldn't do just to for another moment feel the magic of your grace

Things will be okay though, they will all work out for me
It's because of you and the love you gave endlessly
My rainbow is just around the corner, and I'll know you will be there to watch it all
For you are the Angel in my life, always there to catch my fall

Wind beneath my wings, the song in my heart forever more
How can I go wrong, with you I will be able to soar
I look up at the clouds of white, and I know you are up there somewhere
Down here I remain, a beautiful reflection of you, in my heart you are...you are everywhere

"you can't stop
the rain
from pouring down
can't stop the
world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
what you do"

Amy darling lil sis of my heart, you know I’m going to say this is good, okay it’s much better than good, okay yes darling heart it’s utterly utterly excellent.

You are an absolutely fabulous writer I love the way you’ve constructed this it’s clearly built of love and founded in the bedrock of eternity You will always carry your mum within and she will be ever present in your life.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again She inspires such divine writing in you darling heart, your love for her clearly rings through this wonderful beautiful poem.

Absolutely excellent writing


Love and warm stuff
As always

(BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) God Bless You, sweet friend, this made me cry reading it to know such a gorgeous friend like you whose love shines so dearly for your family! (kiss on cheek) I know with all my heart that you will be reunited with her again when the time is right, just as she will never forget you and loves you so much and is always guiding you with her love and her every smile is a rainbow to you! We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are a true angel! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Amy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I tried so hard not to cry when reading this...but you know I did anyway
Made me think of my Aunt Sue, I miss her so much. Thank you for this Amy.

How could your mother forget you? You're in her heart just as she is in yours. This was a beautiful tribute.

your mom could never ever forget you, you are precious to her as she is to you.
I wish I would have had a good mother, but it just wasn't in the cards for me.

What a touching tribute Amy, she was obviously a wonderful lady. I’m sure both of our mom’s will never forget us. I like to think of my mom watching over me…as your mom does to you

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
