The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever
Psalm 23
To my beautiful special baby girl, I remember the night you were born, and how you got the name you carried through your life. Most recently how we walked through the cemetary reading the stones, and how you felt when you were denied the very things you loved the most. Your daughters, Mommy held you ,hen you cried and when you were happy. I have lost a part of me that no one could ever know unless they have lost a child. I just want to give your daughters what they want and spare them the agony that goes with all the final details. And please let them know in their hearts that granma would never keep them from anything. Mommy cannot sleep or eat and I cry all the time until I can do what you wished. Jody, Jerry, Joe, And Crocket are very sad, that it is all going this way.
A Fond Farewell
If I should leave this world
Without a warning,
And not even whisper a fond farewell,
Grieve not for one more message
From the lips that God has stilled.
But just remember me with love
And prayers for my soul's journey
To that far land beyond life's tears.
For I have believed with all my heart
In its existence, and I know that
God is good, for He has come to me
Through the life of Him whose very
Garment I have sought to touch.
It may be lonely, and I hope you miss me
Just a little, because I have loved so deeply.
Forgive me if I have ever hurt you
And remember me for what I longed to be.
Have faith that I am nearer than
Your dreams and fondest longings.
For the God of love shall keep all
Kindred spirits close together,
Though the misty vale between
This would and that to come
Keep us from each other's sight
For a few precious moments.
Whisper softly that you love me
And it shall linger on within my soul
Until you come.
Say not good-bye,
For on some bright tomorrow
We shall meet again.
