The city of Angels <br />Has lost one of their own <br />A beautiful soul <br />Who's been called home <br /> <br />A daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother <br />A friend to so many <br />Memories of her <br />They'll always be plenty <br /> <br />Days you will remember <br />The good times with her <br />How it seems it all passed <br />Just like a blur <br /> <br />Her memories will last forever <br />As her spirit will to <br />They'll always be a part of her <br />Living inside of you <br /> <br />For when you love someone <br />They live in your heart forever <br />It's such a powerful feeling <br />That you will never sever <br /> <br />So now, she's in God's hands <br />Safe from all hurt and pain <br />Although you know your life <br />Without her, will never be the same <br /> <br />Shed your tears let it out <br />It's no shame to show your pain <br />It's a heart breaking experience <br />After which we are never the same <br /> <br />There's nothing more tragic <br />Then a parent losing a child <br />I have been there <br />For a long time I lost my smile <br /> <br />But I did recover as you will to <br />It's going to take a while <br />But that's alright <br />Because in time you'll find your smile <br /> <br /> <br />5-24-08/RjH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stephanie-a-young-life-taken-too-soon/
