When God took you home to live with Him in Heaven.
Dad and I don't understand the reson why
And Makylee wants to know why her mommy had to die.
It hurt us all to see you in so much pain.
And we know that our loss is Heaven's gain.
As I sat by your bed watching you die,
You would look at me and smile and say "mother don't cry".
I wish that we had of had more time together,
But I have the promise of eternity with you in Heaven.
Sometimes Makylee cries like her heart is breaking in two.
Other times she talks about when we get to go to Heaven to see you.
We know that you had a lot of trouble and strife,
As you fought hard to have a good life.
We know tha tyou never wanted to leave Makylee, Dad and me.
But God knew what was best and he set you free.
Every time that Makylee sees a butterfly,
She says that it is her mommy smiling at her from the sky.
Every time I think about your smiling face,
I can hear you say "Wow, Dad and Mom you should see this place!"
Sometimes I get depressed and feeling sorry for me
Then I think about how God gave His Son to set us free.
I realize that I'm not the only one that has ever felt this pain
Thank God now, we have nothing to lose and so much to gain!
Because of God's Son and Salvation's plan,
Someday we too will be able to shake the Master's hand.
I know that you always had one special prayer,
That all your loved ones and friends would meet you up there.
We always wanted you to have everything, we really did try.
But the most important thing money could not buy.
And we are so proud of you baby girl,
For making the choice that was "out of this world."
I'm sure when you got to the other side,
You saw Paw Paw Charles with his arms open wide.
I can see him grin as he said "LaShane pull up a chair,
There is no weeds to pull up here"
As we all sit around down here just a wishing,
I'm sure you and Paw Paw Charles are on Jordan's banks a fishing.
Down here as days turn to months and months to years,
And we've all shed at least a million tears,
I can just see Paw Paw Charles grin as he looks at you to say,
"We haven't even been gone a full day."
Give Paw Paw a hug from Maw Maw, Matthew, Makylee and me.
And save us a place in the shade of a tree.
Because when our work down here is thru,
We are coming home to live up there with you.
Every time Makylee gets up to sing a new song,
She knows that God, Paw Paw Charles and Mommy are smiling from home.
Dear God please take care of our angel, LaShane,
And thank You for taking away all of her pain.
LaShane, we miss you and love you very much!!!!!!
Daddy, Mother and Makylee
