| This poem was written by my 16 year old sister, Lindy, who had to write a poem after looking at a photo for school. She chose the photo below and wrote a beautiful poem. Thank you so much Lindy! |

| "Little girl safe in her daddy's arms, not knowing what an impact she is. Loving eyes looking from above, Angels knocking at the door, Familie's hearts crying. Heavenly Father, why must she go? Why our baby Faith? Unanswered questions, lingering in our minds. PLEASE! Just a few more moments! ...Sending sweet angel kisses from above..." Lindy Lawson, 2003 |

| This next poem was written by a dear friend of mine who also lost a daughter to anencephaly just 3 days after Faith was born. Melly wrote this poem for me and sent it to me on Mother's Day. What a special surprise that was. Thank you so much Melly! |
| If I had the words to say..... By Melly Tyson, 2003 Mommy, If I had the words to say I would say them all to you If it would take away your pain and keep you from feeling blue If I had the words to say I'd write them on a cloud, sprinkle it with angel dust and send it on down If I had the words to say I'd speak them in the breeze You'd hear them whisper softly In the swaying of the trees If I had the words to say I'd send them in a rainbow For today and everyday and those times you're feeling low If I had the words to say I'd align them with the stars No planet could compete with them, Not Saturn, Jupiter or Mars If I had the words to say and I had a dream come true I'd be there, in your arms, and say them all to you. but I know no words can mend the hurt that you feel your heart as it cries, so broken and so real No words that I could say would take away your pain would keep your eyes from welling when mentioning my name No, no words would help but be that as it may I still wish that I had them- the perfect words to say So what I'll say is this and hope it helps you see how very much your love and devotion mean to me Your sacrifice went beyond what most Mommies must give instead of giving up on me you gave me the right to live God knew he was right when He chose you for the part He sent me to dwell in you and wrote my name upon your heart Even then He knew what only you would later but He still never hesitated cause He's the great Creator In you, He created me and let me stay for a time and took me back to be with Him when He knew you would be fine I know it was hard to do and you had to question why but think of how you helped me live- not why I had to die And as hard as it was, for what you gave to me- will far surpass earthly bounds and reach into eternity. Thank you, Mommy...Happy Mother's Day! Love, Faith Lynn |
