Forever In My Heart

I have never forgotten,
The beauty of your smile,
Nor your heart.
You live forever in my memory,
Just as assuredly you live with
Our blessed Lord.
What have these 26 years been to you?
Time flies but I remember
Forever to me you are that child,
Ten years old,
Loving and caring,
Courageous and true.
An angel in human form
No longer sick,
No longer suffering,
Praying for us all.
Forever you have touched me.
Forever you remain etched in my mind,
And forever in my heart.
Tara Loraine Stout,
A child and yet so much more.
I thank you for the gift of you,
I thank God for you in my life.
