Tribute to Faith

Born: 12-31-88 Tribute to Faith Died: 05-12-03
It was New Years Eve, 1988, when God brought you into my heart.
You were pulled from the womb, lifeless, would your breathing ever start
I cradled you in my hands, rubbing your tiny body to keep you alive.
I have Faith you can make it, I have Faith you can make it, I cried
You began to move, your little heart started to race,
You took your first breath, as a tear rolled down my face.
I felt like a new Daddy, proud, joyous, exhausted, yet relieved
Youre a part of my life now, a part larger than anyone can conceive!
Faith was what I had when you were born, for this I have no shame,
A power so strong, that Faith became your name!
You came to me when my heart was empty, and full of pain.
My Mother recently died, and how I hurt, I cannot explain.
You brought a smile back to my face, a reason to want to live
Your precious, unconditional love was all you wanted to give!
Some may not understand the bond the two of us had made,
We were like Father, and Daughter, a love I wouldnt trade!
Words cannot explain the kind of love we had for one another
You knew my thoughts, my feelings, like a sister, or a brother.
No matter what kind of mood I was in, or if I had a bad day,
You were always happy to see me, and by my side you would stay.
You didnt care if I was mad, or yelling, or wound up tight,
You would look at me, and wag your tail, as if to say, Ill make it alright!
You never let me down, you always made me feel good,
I tried to do the same for you, I pray that you knew I would!
The years we shared together, seem to have passed in a matter of days,
The experiences we had will never die, and my love for you I will always praise!
You asked for nothing, just to be loved, as you loved me,
I hope you knew I loved you, before God set you free!
I tried to give you the best life a person can give his best friend,
I just wish our time together didnt have to come to an end!
You brought happiness to my heart, for this I will always treasure,
My love for you will never end, my love you could not measure
On the morning of your last day, I knew something wasnt right,
You wouldnt let me leave, and you wouldnt let me out of your sight!
You looked at me as if you were trying to say,
Dont leave me alone, this is my last day!
When I came home I knew something wasnt right,
I rushed you to the doctor, for your life I would fight!
You clung to life for the rest of the day,
Waiting to see my face again, before you passed away!
You looked into my eyes for one last glance,
I cried to God, please give her a chance!
Your heart was too weak, your breathing became rough,
You were starting to suffer, and I cried, this is enough!
I held your head in my hand, to see the eyes of the heart it warms,
I said to you, I love you Faith, and you died, as you lie in my arms.
In loving memory of
Faith
I Love You
