TO THE ONE YEAR OLD LONDYN SAMUELS, REST IN PEACE




As a parent you become responsible 
Not just because you want to
But because you're thinking of someone else 
Because it's no longer about you

As a parent you're afraid for your child
You fear you can't provide for them
You fear you'd disappoint them
You fear you're not enough

As a parent you're scared for your child
You fear sickness and all sort of diseases children get
Because they're so little and fragile
Because they can't protect themselves 
Because you haven't taught them that

But how many of these fears come true?
How many can we run from?
How many can we fight?
How much evil can we protect them from?

Londyn
You were just 13 months old
You were too innocent 
You were too beautiful...

Yet you were taken
From your family
From us
From the world

How can I describe this pain?
The evil around us
The tears that keep falling
This ache in my heart

You didn't deserve to die like that
This hurt was not for your family
No one deserves this....
You were precious
You still are.

I know you're in heaven
You're an angel
So full of life
And you're smiling down on your family
Praying for them...
You would always be missed here on Earth 
Keep living in our hearts and keep resting with the Lord.
