SAVING YOU A PLACE
For almost nine months, I lived with my Mom and Dad...
My home was just below my Mom's heart, I shared all the love they had...
So many times, I felt all their hands as I moved about...
As they felt me turn an move, so happy they would shout...
Little hands and small voices, could it possibly be?
Two big brothers and a sister, waiting for me...
As I slept, Mothers hands were always there...
So busy was she, but always time to share...
As Mother worked...she was so protective of me...
She watched me grow, a better Mom you'll never see!
They made me a place to share their world...
Never mattered who I'd turn out to be...even another girl!
Then the time to join my happy parents you see...
Of all the hugs and kisses...just for me!
As I opened my eyes and gave them a smile, I felt like a Princess for awhile.
Hours were passing too quickly, as I heard a voice...
My Heavenly Father was calling...I knew I had no choice...
God needs an ANGEL and I must do my share...
A home for my family...I must also prepare...
Mom and Dad, my final journey came so soon...
Jesus was busy preparing me room...
When it was time...I had to go...I could not stay...
OH! How you all tugged at my heart, as God prepared my way...
He promised we would all be together and share a Heavenly home...
The beauty of our place...will make all of you want to come...
So please don't cry...and never be sad!
I am with our Saviour, Mom! He is so glad!
He will always hold my hand and hug me tight...
Watch over me, Dad, both day and night...
The greatest substitute, for my Mother and Dad...
You'll see one day our beautiful home...the prettiest we ever had!
I'll never be sick, and never be alone,
So when you are ready, I'll show you our home...
I must be at my angel work, and wait patiently for
you all as you finish your earthly chores...
When we together will discover the happiness, God has for us in store...
OH! Mom and Dad...I love my name...
Lydia Rose, in Heaven is the same...
As you look up... You'll see me smile...
For I'm sure you'll all join me...after awhile...
I love you all so, Lydia Rose

I thought this was such a pretty poem and it really means a lot to me. However, it makes me cry while reading it and even more so when typing it.
Thanks Grandma for the beautiful poem.
