Devon's Page

This page is dedicated to our heavenly angel Devon.  Some people felt uncomfortable with his picture on the home page so here's a page all of his own.  Unfortunately death happens to all of us.  Some people's time comes sooner than others.  But I couldn't do this site without thinking of him.  His death defines who I am today and how I treat every day.   I just pray that God will hold Devon tightly in his arms until our time comes.  We love him and he is desperately missed.   

A million times we've missed you.
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
Things we feel most deeply,
Are the hardest things to say,
Our dearest one we have loved you,
In a very special way.
We often sit and think of you,
And think of how you died.
To think we couldn't say good-bye
Before you closed your eyes.
No one can know our loneliness,
And no one can see us weeping,
All our tears from aching hearts
While others are sleeping.
If we had one lifetime wish,
A dream that could come true,
We'd pray to God, with all our hearts,
For yesterday and you.

Anyone who knows who wrote this poem please e-mail me.  I would love to find out and give them due credit.  I received this poem from a Compassionate Friends newsletter and it touched my heart greatly.  It is exactly how I feel and I'm sure that there are others that feel the same way that have lost a little loved one.
