T’was the Night Before Our Lives Changed

I am asking for everyone’s help. I have rewritten a poem that is a dedication to Mari. If everyone could please read it and give me your comments, I would appreciate it more than you know. I have also put “T’was the Night Before Christmas” below my poem so you can put them side by side. My hope is that you feel my poem matches up with this poem. Thanks in advance for everyone’s help with this. Kristena

Our Angel In Heaven

Our angel in heaven How quick she must be If you can imagine She flew like a bee

As soon as she arrived In heaven that first day You can just imagine How she wanted to play

The clouds are no match As she wanted to paint So she took out her markers Just like a saint

The clouds are her canvas, I know it’s hard to imagine But somehow she did it Like no one could fathom

T’was the Night Before Our Lives Changed

A Poem to Mari

This is my very first poem I have ever written.  I know it is not like some of the great poetry out there today by some of the greats but it is from the bottom of my heart and in complete dedication to my beautiful baby girl.  I love you sweetie and miss you very much.

When I lie awake at night All I do is think of you as my guiding light You helped me to see That my life became complete because of thee

Letter from Heaven

This poem was first introduced to me by a friend. He created the dedication video of Mari’s pictures that were put to music and then at the end he had a neat surprise for us. He had his daughter say this poem at the end of the show with Mari’s’ picture there. His daughter was going to read the poem at her funeral but it was just too hard for her to do because the reality was a little girl about her age had died and just too much for her. So her daddy read the poem. . . . → Click Here To Read More: Letter from Heaven
