I was looking down from Heaven,
On that day there was no light,
Your tears that flowed so freely,
Shone brightly in my sight.
The words I begged for you to hear,
Could not break through your pain,
I was trying to reassure you,
That we'd be together once again.
Although you cannot see me now,
In the form that I once was,
You must know that I'm happy here,
Surrounded by God's Love.
I pray these words will let you know,
That Heaven truly exists,
There are no earthly human words,
Describing such wonderous bliss!
God's arms are wrapped around me now,
While I listen to Angels sing,
There's not a moment that passes by,
With my love to you I bring.
My only wish is for you to know,
That I'm safe and free from harm,
Remember what my message is,
We'll be together in each others arms.
To Mom And Dad
The following poem was written in memory of Tina Marie McQuaig:
On March 15, 2000, Tina, age 27, was reported missing after failing to return home from work. Tina clocked out of work at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville Florida at 4:50 p.m. Four days later on March 19, 2000, Tina's car was found in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Jacksonville. Tina's husband and (then) five year old son, along with her parents, brother and numerous other relatives and friends, showed tremendous strength and determination as they desperately waited for any news. Nearly 3 years later, they at last know that Tina fell victim to a homicidal maniac. Tina's remains were found in a wooded area in Jacksonville Florida.

Dear Diary,
I recently met someone online today that had their daughter taken from them. What a courageous woman to have endured not only being unable to reach her daughter in her grasp, but to know that someone so mercilessly took her daughter's life from her. That they hurt her daughter and not being able to be there to help her daughter, to hold her hand and let her know that it will all be okay. That God is waiting for her.....
I'll sing you a lullaby little one
To chase you to your dreams,
To stop your pain and hurting
And to give you eternal peace
Where beauty and love awaits you
There is no burden for you to cross,
Your sorrow and agony are over
No more emptiness and loss.
I can hold the moon in one hand
And a candle in the other,
To show you the way through
The labyrinth of life's tortuous mirror
My friend is a strong person that believes in her faith. I feel privileged to know her.
Good night Dear Diary.

Dear Diary,
I'll never let go of my hope. I see the rainbow of many colors and know that my friends' daughter found her destiny with God. I've told my friend that her daughter will always be with her and that her silver lining has not fallen; just lifted higher in the night sky when her life was so callously taken from her. My friend said that she believed me because the day of her daughters death, she remembers looking up at the clouds and seeing a face. She said she wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but then realized it was a profile of her daughter's face lined with what looked like pearls. She said she didn't know then, but knows now that that was her daughter's soul. How interesting to know that her daughter had come to say good-bye. I'm glad that my friend knows this and that she can have some peace knowing that even though her daughter isn't here with us anymore, that she is waiting with our Lord just a little beyond the clouds.
Good Night Dear Diary.
These faux entries were written by me for a challenge with WOSIB Literary Garden. The Challenge was to use twenty words in two groups of ten and use them in two separate diary entries. Written April 15, 2004 ©klyn I'd like to thank my friend Linda for her courage and inspiration.
I'll sing you a lullaby little one
To chase you to your dreams,
To stop your pain and hurting
And to give you eternal peace
Where beauty and love awaits you
There is no burden for you to cross,
Your sorrow and agony are over
No more emptiness and loss.
I can hold the moon in one hand
And a candle in the other,
To show you the way through
The labyrinth of life's tortuous mirror
You may look at the reflection child
Just so you can see
The twist of fate and circumstance
That brought you here to Me.
Follow the footsteps of your path
Keep the lessons learned
You'll need them on your new journey
For your wings child you have earned
Beyond The Sunset
Should you go first and I remain
to walk the road alone,
I'll live in memories garden dear,
with happy days we've known.
In spring I'll wait for roses red,
when faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall,
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain,
for battle to be fought.
Each thing you've touched along the way
will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,
though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain,
one thing I'll have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long path,
for soon I'll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
so I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road
you'll hear me call your name.
