I'm still
here.....
You ask God why he "took" me,
And I wish
that you could see,
That
sometimes when people hold you close;
" Those arms
belong to me...
... I'm
still here.
If I could have one wish, mom,
It would be to ease your pain;
You think that I am gone now
But as sure as clouds bring rain
... I'm still here.
I'm with you when you're crying
I see every tear you cry
And even though you feel alone,
It's me who wipes them dry...
... I'm still here.
I'm with you every morning,
I hear every word that's said
And when darkness overtakes you
I still "tuck" you into bed...
.... rest your head.
You taught me faith in God, mom
I learned it all from you,
It's more wonderful than I imagined,
Everything we hoped is true...
... I love you
I'm still here, mom, please believe me
I'm the sun that warms your face;
I'm the wind that whistles softly,
I'm the comfort in that place;
I'm the friends that fill the loneliness
The butterflies you see;
Everything that brings you peace and joy
You share it, mom, with me...
I'm the flowers in the spring time
I'm the stars that shine so bright;
I'm the laughter in your living room,
The tears you shed at night,
I'm the hope, that gives you meaning
I'm the singer, I'm the song;
I am still your little girl, mom
I am with you... I'm not gone...

I Wish You Could Hear All The Things We Have To Say, We Have Full Faith In Finding You & Wont Have It Any Other Way. We Love You Laci Peterson, No Matter Where You Are, You're Our Wingless Angel & Our Shining Star. ~Written By: Melissa Roberts~ Jan. 25th, 2003 " Some one told me to look up at the sky and find the star that shone the brightest, and that it would be the star my mom and dad were holding for me to know they were shinning in heaven with the Lord. So that is what I do each night and I can feel my parents all around me. To you and your family I hope you see that star in the sky and see Laci and Connor shinning down upon you. They are safe and are comforted by the Lord. " submitted by: Barbara, Maine (who lost both of her parents together in 1997 ) Psalms: 23

Grief is like salt grief is like salt, salt has no taste, there isn't any thing that salt taste like. Grief nothing feels like it, you can't even imagine how it feels especially when it's a child. You can't find anything that even comes close. maybe that's why our tears taste salty. (She thought about this while thinking about grief and their son they lost.) "Laci and Connor are with you in your hearts forever! written by: Malissa & Ross Bushong Eastern Washington State Just remember what Dominic Dunne always said, your daughters last business on this earth is this trail. Justice will prevail. submitted by: Laurie, (was a prosecutor nearly 10 yrs.) Covington , LA. "Something about her-that shinning quality that cannot be captured with any words-got me. Her smile her passion for life and sheer excitement for maternity made all us love Laci!... That's how strong her spirit is. I didn't even have to meet her to know that about her! Know we are all better people to have known a spirit like Laci's. She and Connor will be remembered and loved." written by: Karli, San Francisco, CA.

submitted by: Jackie andCassie Marrisett, Canada ~LACI And CONNOR~ "Always in our thoughts... Forever in our hearts!!!!"
submitted by: Kathleen Landers -Desrochers Methuen,MA. Mom, I remember when I was
born Mom. The way you looked at me
with love. You knew I was a special gift, mom, sent from above........ I felt the pain in your
heart, mom, and saw the river of tears you cried............. I know you walked around for
weeks, mom ,praying for God to take you instead of me...... You just lifted your eyes
toward heaven, mom and prayed for God's will to be done. God saw your faith ,mom, so
He let me stay for a little while to give you some pictures and
memories, mom, and even stronger faith by a mile. written by: Lynn, (this poem written in memory of her daughter Mariah)
Laci's Message "Laci and Connor are with me
because I have a Ribbon representing them..."
|
God didn't promise days with out pain, laughter with out sorrow ,or sun with out rain. But God did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and a light for the way. ~ A mother's dream " I like to think that Laci is taking care of Connor and my son who passed away April 11,2003 he was born too soon. So I close my eyes and see laci... Holding her little angel as well as many more. written by: Monica Marquez Granada, Hills Ca. " Laci has reached out to our nation through her absolute radiance! what a glorious feat as few other have touched so many people every where! Through her, people all over have come together and are truly becoming more cognizant of our own love for our families, friends, and those who cross our paths; we are all trying to smile bigger and more often and we are making that extra effort to treat others with kindness. this we have learned from Laci!..." "The Lord is my strength and my shield" written by: Nina G. Lakewood, WA.
Laci's eyes and smile
so bright and bold....
The story of her life
will be forever told....
I light a
candle, in Laci's name
and
wonder where to put the blame....
Did
someone take Laci away
or did
she just go a stray....
I look at
her beautiful face
so full
of life, and full of grace....
Her deep
brown eyes, so vibrant and wide
tell the
story of her life....
Her
mother is frantic, full of fear
but
Laci's voice, she will always hear....
her
gentle touch, her sweet smell
is
something her mother will always feel
Laci has gone to a safer place
a hard
reality, we all must face....
She
watches us from up above
truly
amazed, at the outpour of love....
Laci and
Connor, always together
Laci and
Connor together forever....
As she
holds him, and sings to him
her voice
will carry, in the wind....
~Celeste,
Texas~
One moment you are smiling to all those who know you, the next moment
you're smiling on the world.
I am Home in heaven dear ones oh and so happy and so bright .....there
is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light...... All the pain
and grief are over.......... every restless yearning past I am now at
peace forever safely home in heaven at last...... Dear ones do not
grieve so sorely for I love you dearly....... Still try to look
beyonds earths shadows pray to trust our fathers will when your work
is all complete...... He will gently call you home oh the rapture of
that meeting oh the joy to see you come!!!
"Laci" |
