One of God's Angels
This page is a Special Dedication to my older sister Brenda, who has been sleeping with God's Angels since she was 18 months old. Brenda was my parents first child, she was the love of their life*smile* Born on July 6. 1956, Brenda had Down Syndrome and no muscle tone, she also had failure to thrive. The hospital back then wanted my parents to leave her there, and not take her home, thats what they did back then, But my mother consider Brenda a specail gift from God, and a blessing that he gave her. So they brought her home to give her all the love they could, for as long as God blessed them with her. And she brought them 18 months of pure joy*smile* You see in my family we consider children born with Down Syndrome, a blessing,and one of God's special Angels. And my mother feels it was an honor that God blessed her for even a short while with one of his special ones*Smile*I wish I could have known her, but all I have are my parents sweet memories, and I do know that someday I will meet her in Heaven*Smile*
Sonnet To Brenda
On a cold winters day, in a room filled with loveA mother rocked her child, as God watch from aboveThe mother eyes were sad, as she looked aroundAnd she rocked her baby, who was cuddly and round And God decided, as he sat on his throneThat he wanted this child, for his very ownSo he called in a voice, that was soft as a sighAnd the child understood, and as a jesture goodbyeShe brushed her hand, across her mothers cheekAnd she slipped away,with a smile that was warm and meekShe left many memories, that are warm in partBut they'll never replace the ache in our heart A child whose love and warmth was winningIts not not an end, its just a beginning
