You would have turned 11 today,
if you were still here.
Although you are so far away,
our hearts have kept you near.
The pain has eased a bit I guess,
yet has not gone away.
It will always stay a part of us,
until we join you one day.
We send our love to you,
from all our hearts to yours.
Just think, a birthday spent in Heaven,
means you'll spend it with The Lord.

This is so very sad, but you wrote a beautiful piece for someone so dear to you. I know that time has passed, but I am still so very sorry for the loss you and your family suffered. The pain does ease, but it never goes away completely. A loving tribute poem hon.
Much love to ya!!

I find the irony in the poems I get lead to after hitting the return button and ironicly I ended up on this one.I am very sorry about your niece. I have noticed the names in other poems but didn't want to bring it up and cause you pain. I am amazed that the middle names are the same as well.
This was a beautiful poem dedciated to you niece and I pray for you and your sister to be able overcome this tremendous loss.
God Bless You!

I'm not ashamed in admitting my throat thickened reading this. I liked this for its genuine honesty, its not trying to be a poem for everyone else but it reaches everyone as it relinquishes allegiance to all laws of poetry. It was poigannt and unpretentious and it speaks volumes about your feelings for her.
Bless u -

loving tribute
Like macandrew said, a wonderfully written memorial. I can sense how hard it must have been for you to put those words on paper but you did it so well one would never suspect. Thank you for sharing such a touching tribute with us. I like your style Sam.
This is no time for a joke but I can't help it. Every time I call you Sam I think of Johnny Cash and his song, "A boy named Sue".
I will pray for your pain, that the Holy Spirit will share it with you, even as I do. Bless you, jean -
very good
A most beautiful tribute. In memories like this we make them immortal.
Thank you for sharing.

A very heartwarming write. I'm trying to do the same. My daughter died last November 15, 2002 I get about three lines down then start crying to hard to continue. Thanks for sharing this. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. She was so young. My daughter was 17.

Very sad poem, losing someone close to you, is the worst thing can happen.
