Living a life, you could have never imagined
stepping into the world, of unbearable pain
closing your eyes as tightly as possible
begging, "God please let this be a dream"
Although the pain is great, the love you shared is greater
look into your heart, allow the tears to fall
allow the pain to consume, every inch of you
and then invite solace, into your soul
The hurt that she endured, the steps she took,
or the road she walked down, we can never really know
We only know, that her pain, ended
and in that very second, is when our pain began
Celebrating her life, at the time of her death
holding onto what we will always have of her
she is in the blood running through your veins
and in every beat of your heart, hold her
Author notes
Suzeecue, I know your pain and loss, I hold you in understanding arms, wishing you light and hope in all the days to come. Please take these words to heart, your daughter is with God now. I wanted to encourage you, though, I am not sure that I know how. The pain has broken apart a life that has been pieced together, only in time will you be able to live fully again.
I am not sure that this is what was intended for this contest, but when I started writing, this is what came out. I hope that you will find comfort in the days and weeks to come, your child will no longer feel the pain of the earthly world. There is nothing we can do sometimes, to change the things that happen, just never stop loving her.
It is okay, to be mad at her, I was mad at my daughter for several years after she passed away, almost three years later, I still am at times, but that will pass, the most difficult days are ahead of you. Take strength in those who are closest to you and keep the love for Nicole alive, in every breathe and every thought, know you take no fault in what happened, and that you are probably the single most important person to have ever graced her soul, let her know, that you forgive her.
I lift my heart to you, if you need anything, please let me know.

I know that the holidays can be hard. It is a time for family, and part of our hearts are missing and that is painful.... I hope that over the past 2 years, you have allowed happiness to rejoin your life. Your daugther had a greater purpose, sometimes God only allows us to hold onto his most precious Angels for a short period of time, to teach us something, bring something we need into our lives.
My heart is always with you,
Criss

Wonderfully written!!!
Criss, This is so beautiful, the feeling straight from your heart as you yourself endured the same pain. I know that suzeecue will be touched as deeply as anyone else that reads this. You are a beautiful person. We need more people like you in our crazy world. The tears were streaming down my face not only for the poem but your author's comments as well. The deep sincerity of your words filled my heart with everlasting joy.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece with all of us. Love and blessings to you my friend. Also, my condolences for suzeecue and Nicole. The angels are watching over her now as she smiles down upon those left behind.

wonderful
I loved this poem! It took me from one emotion to the other because each stanza was so different. At least, in the sense that, well, since before I read the poem I didn't know what it was about, in the beginning, the first paragraph reminded me of my mother, and how much pain she goes through fighting depression with alcoholism, one addiction with another, and how I know under everything how wonderful she is, and that she didn't ever want to be the way she is. As it continued it reminded me of a dear friend I lost in May to suicide, it was terrible. I found this a very enjoyable poem, and I'm very glad I read it. Every word in it seemed as if it came from your heart. And in my opinion, nothin hits home harder than a poem from the heart. Thank you so much for sharing this.

this is an incredibly strong and beautiful tribute to a love/pain which is indescribable. your words are linked to your heart. sorry for the late comment.

A beautiful and very touching tribute in times when it is so hard to express such empathy, you have done so very well

Beautifully Touching!
Your words were so touching, beautiful and compassionate, it touched my heart and soul. It takes a lot of strength to offer comfort to someone when you yourself has gone through the same things. May God continue to bless you Suzeecue and Nicole and, I pray she finds comfort from your words of love. Best wishes in the contest. Avril

This is a beautiful contest of comfort and hope, from a beautiful soul. I dont know Suzee, but I know her heart and I hope that this will, even if just a little, ease her pain.
My heart goes out to her...

Criss, this was written so beautifully with an indescribable tenderness. Spoken from the heart of a mother who has been there. "When their pain ends-your's begins" how true. You are amazing~vj
