My Angel My Life

Music - " Wind Beneath My Wings"

Laurie, My Angel, My Life

Laurie, my angel, my life, my only child.
You will never know how much I love you and miss you.
We started as one and resulted in two, or did we?
For we were always together till the very end.

You were the love of my life, my reason for being.
You were always sweet and gentle.
Even as I carried you in my womb, you never hurt me.
Sometimes I had to look down to make sure you were still there.
Others complained about how much their baby kicked and hurt them.
All you ever gave me was a gentle touch, a loving embrace.

And when it came time for you to arrive, you were early.
Even the labor wasn't hard, for you came in about three hours.
Your doctor barely arrived at the hospital in time.
And I'll never forget the first time I saw you.
I couldn't understand how I ever deserved such a beautiful precious baby.

And as you arrived early, you also departed much too soon.
All of your hopes and dreams were never accomplished
While you were here with us on this earth.
I know that in Heaven you are everything you ever wanted to be
And that you completed your education with Jesus.

And as you entered Heaven's gates, Jesus must have greeted you
With open loving arms and said "Welcome, my child, you have come to
Complete your life with me in Heaven. For your years on earth
Were not always easy, but here in Paradise you will feel no more
Pain, shed no more tears, and soon you will be with your loving
Parents again - until the end of time."

We'll love you forever!!
