~ Fly Baby Angel ~ Fly baby angel - mom's coming home soon I'm hitching a ride on the beam's of our moon. Play hopscotch & jumprope Till mommy gets there We'll dance in the clouds - ballet in the air. Fly baby angel - I loved you so dear Your wings have grown strong, so fly without fear. Now play with the angels Till mommy gets home And know that in heaven - you're never alone. Fly baby angel - you're still in my heart Though we're not together, we're never apart. Now close tiny eyes and get angel sleep So you won't see mommy - break down here to weep... To my baby girl, Laisha Denea. Lost August 1991 - poetFemmeFatale May 8, 2000 "Laugh and the world laughs with you..." cry, and you're all alone. My version - pFF |

Oh, Femme, I had no idea! I'm so sorry! This is absolutely beautiful! I'd love to post this on my poetry memorial bereaved site - it would be a real honor, to honor your little girl. It's called "Coming Through the Fire", and it's at http://www.angelfire.com/zine/bereaved/index.html ~ ~ ~ Again, this is exquisite, and the last lines brought tears to my eyes. ~ ~ ~ The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ...

Oh Gen...I'm so very sorry Hun. This brought both tears and a smile. Tears because such a loss is so devastating, so sad. I couldn't even begin to understand the pain, even though I'm a mom. Even though there is sorrow, this poem is so precious and sweet. To know that your baby girl is in heaven, not alone, a little angel. That is what made me smile. What a beautiful tribute you have made to her here. Warm Hugs to you from me ~Sheri |

Such a touching and loving poem...it brought tears to my eyes. I'm sorry for your loss...I know your little angel must be soaring around Heaven telling all the other angels about her wonderful Mother who loves her so much and that she watches over you every day. Sad but sweet poem. Her spirit lives in all things beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. ~Kellsue Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill |

You have brought tears to my eyes with your lovely poem to your daughter. I know how hard it is to have this pain that never goes away, but this poem is full of the knowing that love lasts forever. My poem Breath Unplugged was about this lasting. Hugs! |

Those who are gone are not forgotten, and those who have gone before will wait for us on the other side and weep for our fear, cry for our sorrow, but smile for our victory when we move toward them. Bless you sis. Beautiful poem. I can only think that she's sitting on Jerry Don's lap and just playing... |
