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
