A poem to my beloved daughter

 I wrote this poem for my daughter that I lost to miscarriage in November of 1999. She had what is called "Turner's Sydrome"... where there is one chromosome missing. Some survive this terrible disease and it has some awful health problems as well as deformities associated with it. I think perhaps it is better that she went to be with the Lord... not only will see not be disabled in heaven, she will also not have to go through the pains and hardships of this world. It comforts me that she will never know how it feels to cry. She will only know tears of laughter and joy. I know I will see her someday. I named her Autumn Angel.

 To my Daughter "Autumn Angel"  

 CONSOLATION  

Unknown are the reasons

Just assured of a plan

 Out of faith I go on

I make no demands.  

To ask for an answer

 A way to possibly see

Would bring me needed rest

From this pain, reprieve.  

Maybe the motive is clear

Perhaps he chose early to receive

To spare life's many tribulations

Yet sorrowful for me.  

But knowing that my little one

Is now holding Jesus' hand

Brings great consolation

With this thought I can stand.  

 For tomorrow will come and go

I shall someday pass on

To hold my precious child

I must continue to be strong.  

We'll make up for lost time

Eternal laughter and smiles to share

With open arms I'll be forever

In Heaven with you there.
