God took you from us yesterday,
While you slept ever so peacefully,
Waiting, anticipating your future.
A promising young lawyer,
Now a shining star in the sky;
A mystery not understood by many.
Flags fly sympathetically at half mast,
Testament to our shock and our sorrow,
Your vibrant spirit, life and beauty.
Fair-haired, blued-eyed young lady;
With so much to offer this world,
An angel in life; an angel in death.
The apple of so many tearful eyes,
But birthed from a loving womb;
A greater love is known to no one.
Look sweetly down upon her, Alyssa.
A broken mother quietly weeps today;
On this sacred Mother’s Day.
