Diamond Poem

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
By Heidi C. Smith

A little girl with outstretched arms
Gave biggest hugs that were very warm
A thousand kisses she had to give
An example of what it means to live
A content, loving, girly girl
Her smile lit a fire across the world
Pony tails that sailed in the wind
And when she ran they'd spin and spin
Her favorite slippers that she would wear
While she put pony tails in Daddy's hair
All the food that she would pretend to make
Was all to give Mommy a needed break
Amber was her bestest friend
On someone she could always depend
Justin was her favorite mate
Dress up in clothes and play very late
Her heart was big, yet not very strong
Her time on earth was not very long
To understand the strength inside
You had to look into her eyes
God came down to give her wings
An Angel now who dances and sings
A shining star for all to see
Victorious over adversity
Endurance and Courage are words to describe
the potential we all knew she had inside
And though her time was very tough
She will always be our Diamond in the rough.
With all of our Love we must let you go
There is one thing that we want you to know
We will always remember, each and every day
In our thoughts and hearts where you will always stay
