Fiona Rose
Little hands reposing sweetly Upon a lap folded neatly Sparkling eyes so rich in blue Pleasures upon my soul imbue Porcelain skin fragrant and tender To caress again I'll yearn forever Pink, full lips and a button nose Perfect and innocent my eternal rose In my arms no longer held But in my heart so deeply felt Beyond this earth away from harm Protected under the Savior's arm |
We have faith that our precious Fiona Rose is safe in God’s arms. She is now made perfect, has no fears, and feels no pain. Now she knows only joy, love and peace. But here on earth, our hearts are broken. Fiona’s absence leaves a huge hole that will never be filled until we see her again. Knowing that you share in our sorrow has somehow made our grief a little easier to bear. We have felt God’s love and care for us through the many acts of kindness shown to our family. Words of encouragement, prayers, notes, cards, drawings, flowers, necklaces, hugs, a pat on the shoulder, gifts, meals, treats, walking Poppy around the circle in the mornings, saying hi, time spent just sitting and talking; all of these things you have chosen to do have made a huge difference in our healing. We have felt people holding us up in prayer, and helping to bear this burden. No matter how big or small an act of kindness, they all matter and can help someone who is hurting. We thank you for caring for us, and thank you for your friendship and love you have shown to Fiona throughout her life. I hope this bench will be a reminder for us all to show kindness, to be a good friend, and to help each other in times of need. Fiona would be so proud of you all. Thank you.
Empty Room
We have an empty room Once occupied and used The bed is made and clothes are hung Shoes in a row unchanged Medals hanging proudly Patches sewn on sash Completed projects displayed Jewelry organized Makeup at the ready Dolls smiling prettily Soccer gear in bag Calendar on wall with checked off precious days…. Where stories were once read Where friends laughed and played Where dreams were born and plans were laid Where anger was expressed And doors slammed in rage Where punishment was served Where fears were comforted Where tears were wiped away Where tender words were said And hugs were treasured Where many prayers were offered In hopes of being answered Where sharpened pencils rest Where dust gathers quickly And many tears are shed We have an empty room Where I visit often To rest my grieving heart Where sun streams through closed blinds |
