God took you from us yesterday, <br />While you slept ever so peacefully, <br />Waiting, anticipating your future. <br />A promising young lawyer, <br />Now a shining star in the sky; <br />A mystery not understood by many. <br /> <br />Flags fly sympathetically at half mast, <br />Testament to our shock and our sorrow, <br />Your vibrant spirit, life and beauty. <br />Fair-haired, blued-eyed young lady; <br />With so much to offer this world, <br />An angel in life; an angel in death. <br /> <br />The apple of so many tearful eyes, <br />But birthed from a loving womb; <br />A greater love is known to no one. <br />Look sweetly down upon her, Alyssa. <br />A broken mother quietly weeps today; <br />On this sacred Mother’s Day. <br /> <br /> <br />http: //allpoetry.com/poem/4552469<br /><br />Kim Schilling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rest-now-little-alyssa/
