Denise Marie
(Best viewed in maximum browser) |
God sent an angel down from above |
We embraced her with arms of love |
She is the oldest daughter of three |
And we named her Denise Marie |
She was beautiful, just like a rose |
With strawberry curls and a turned up nose |
She had a problem at the start |
There was a hole in her tiny heart |
We offered up so many prayers |
God, himself, made the repairs |
Now my little girl was whole |
Relief was in my very soul. |
She's talented, and brainy too |
While the rest of us just muddle through |
At problem solving she's the best |
Her brain just never seems to rest. |
She's not much for idle chit chat |
She says she doesn't have time for that! |
She's busy can't you see |
Trying to take care of her family |
To me she's a source of pride |
When she's sitting at my side |
Telling me of her hectic day |
and of her pain that won't go away |
She has Fibromyalgia that's the name |
It hurts me to see her in such pain |
She's been a blessing, more than one |
I can never thank her for all she's done |
When my marriage was over, it fell through |
She helped raise her sister, a baby of two |
Then she introduced me to her new "dad" |
David and I married, and that made her glad |
She went to college to be a teacher |
She had to drop out, the family needed her |
Illness and death came upon us |
Denise took over without a fuss |
Her baby niece, Gina, she raised as her own |
And gave her a warm and loving home |
and when Gina grew and flew the nest |
Denise thought now she'd get a rest |
But that day will never be |
No, not for my daughter, Denise |
There's other nieces, and nephews, you see |
That always depend on Aunt Dee |
She's my daughter my friend, my gift from above |
Thank you God, for giving me Denise to love. |
Mom, |
