Yesterday gone

Yesterday to soon

Tomorrow come

Tomorrow gone

My heart is full of sunlight

Sunlight disappear in my soul.

Pain come

Pain disappear

Joy break through my thought s

Joy is a thorn in my flesh

Nothing more.

Lost, the day I had to let you go.

Grace for you

But ungracious the emptiness in my soul

Showered with uncertainness and distress

Sorrowful heart divided with a drowning pain

Rock of my life

Jesus Christ Emmanuel

God with us?

Not this Lord, not this

Lord, so sudden

So sudden

Not enough time

Love everlasting

But suffering to much to deal with

Memories fresh,

Memories open

Laugh with a mask

Smile with a falsehood at the world

They want me to forget you.

Never will I forget

I will keep your memory close.

Very close to my broken heart.

Born out of me

But back to our Maker

Borrowed time

Time missed with you

Jesus waited for you.

Mommy cried to Jesus to save your life

But He knew that you could not go on.

I had to let you go.

“Mommy's angel. I am so sorry. Mommy can't help you. I am so sorry. Mommy sees your suffering. Mommy will let you go to Jesus. Safely in His arms I let you go. Mommy loves you so much, always.

Softly you breathe out your last air.

This un-bearable sorrow will with time pass to

But without you life will never be the same. 

Sleep now softly

Tomorrow the sun shine again

Mommy's angel

Softly in mommy's arm.

Rest now

Softly now to Jesus.

Sleep in heaven with God

Sunshine again.

Laugh now with Jesus

Jesus love's you.

(a poem of a mommy's grieve and loss of her precious darling angel)

In memory of Vivian (PA) 2002/01/19 – 2010/04/28.

We miss our daughter so much. Her place is empty, but we grieve with hope to see her again one day. in heaven.  God willing.

Thank you to Organic Acidemia Association for your support over the year's. We have learned to deal with life in a different way and could do it all over again.
