I Still Feel Your Smile Upon Me...
a poem written for my daughter Jennifer by Linda Denton Copyright 2000
I still feel your smile upon me,though the pain's too hard to bear; no matter what goes on in my life, I know you're always there. My tears still fall, not so often now because no-one understands,the joy I feel when I think of you in my Loving Father's hands. I'll never forget the day you died, how it tore me all apart; leaving nothing behind but my barely beating, bruised and wounded heart. I cried, God, how could you let this happen? Wanted to blame Him for my loss; Then I heard His sobs and remembered He lost a child too, on the cross. And yet, He didn't forsake me; He was right there by my side, With His loving arms around me, He held me while I cried..........I'm better now, thanks to family that taught me to take things day by day......I get lots of joy from watching all of your nieces and nephews play. I'll always keep you with me. Of that Jenny, have no fear. My love for you will grow even stronger, year after passing year. Well, there's another one my darling, It's rolling down my face. I know that I will be alright because of God's amazing grace. Rest for now, my baby girl for now I know there's no harmin living my life a little longer...waiting....while you rest safely in His arms. Until we see each other again.....I love you,Mommy
