An evil sickness took grasp and tore from you a precious life. A life once filled with happiness, laughter and smiles. A face of freshness, of youth, of spring rains that gently fall upon a mother earth...beautiful, the child born of God.... A life so young and trusting, now fallen..Taken from the arms of those who love, those who now grieve of their loss. Rest dear child, for Heaven shall hold you. Angels shall guide you from pain to eternal happiness. And evil shall feel the wrath of Hell’s pit... Eternal rest shall keep you, though your soul shall run ever wild and free amongst the heavens.... God bless you Carlie. If you enjoy reading a poem about children..... go to this link... It was one of my first poems... /pip/Forum51/HTML/002075.html [This message has been edited by Magnus (02-06-2004 08:39 PM).] |

Margherita, Ice.... This tragedy has haunted me since the moment it first was aired. I have a daughter who is almost 11. A beautiful little darling. One who I would never recover from if someone took her from me, and took her life as senselessly as Carlie's life was taken. I felt I needed to say something...I just could not sit here and keep it inside. It has touched me very deeply and I am numb. I hugged my little darling this morning, yesterday...the day before...I won't stop. She will always know she is loved. God please allow her, and all the children to grow and experience the joys of life, not the fears and pain... Thank You... |

As a parent, the ultimate concern is for the safety and well being of our children. And, the ultimate fear, is the possibility of one of them getting hurt, or passing on, before their time. It would be, and is, such a tragic loss enough, if and when a child were to leave us due to an accident or an illness. But for a child like little Carlie, who was taken away from everything she ever knew, and ever will. By someone so evil to be able to do something like that. Is a nightmare, that simply can never end... It’s an awful feeling, knowing that there are human beings on this earth, capable of doing something this dreadfully horrific... And it’s really sad knowing that this kind of evil happens, all the time, and all over the world. And, you just can’t help but throw your hands up in the air, and yell what in the world is going on? It is without a doubt, the saddest of days, for little Carlie’s family, and for all of her friends. It is also, and should be, such a sad day, for all humanity as well God Bless You Little Carlie And, bless you too Magnus... |

P.S. I think you should send your poem to her parents. They would probably be thrilled to have it! Marti |

OhMagnus~ I've cried over what happened to this darling little girl and her family~ Sometimes ... it seems that no matter how much we love them, how precious they are to us ... that evil monsters lurk just beyond their innocence~ This is a loving piece dear sir ... I have a card ready to mail tomorrow to Carlie's parents and have written a little something for them also ..... I know they would be pleased to read this piece of loving thought in memory of Carlie~ *Huglets* sweet gentleman~ ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

(big angel hugs) Oh Barry, my heart goes out to Carlie's family as this is a tragedy that should never have happened and should NEVER happen to any child! (sad sigh) Your golden heart shines with the utmost deepest love and compassion, sweet friend, and shame on all those people who neglect and steal and rape ones innocence and integrity and beauty of a child, I hope they get what they deserve for this crime, God Bless You and Carlie and her loved ones forever, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Barry~ To let you know ... my son and daughter-in-law came by today and picked up the packet to give to Carlie's parents ... my poem and yours and the card I chose for them will be hand-delivered to them. I know they will find comfort in knowing that precious little Carlie was held in loving thought of so many~ Thank you, my friend~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

I feel empathy for Carlie and those who love her. I feel sadness, fury, and pity for those who take and waste the beauty around us. Thank you, Magnus, for penning our care. ~Sadelite |
