My dearest Lauren, How I wish you were here. The days and nights go by, And we can feel you near. You were taken so suddenly, At a very young age. We fight all the feelings, But we're still filled with rage. We pray you are happy, We know you are free. But it doesn't heal our hearts Where here is where you should be. I wait for you to come home, Just out with your friends. But I know that won't happen, A boy speeding brought it all to an end. My heart is so heavy, It's been torn from my chest. How could God have taken, One of his very best. I suppose life will go on, For your father and me, And one day your beautiful face, Again we will see. Help us through this life, my love, I pray on bended knee. Until we are together again, For all eternity. We love you!! Mom and Dad
