    Lekishya Marie

    Not sure if I'm allowed to post this link, or even if it will work, but I wanted to share a close friends beautiful angel with you all.
    We lost her at 6 days old to Trisomy 13.
    On Wednesday she'd have been celebrating her 9th birthday.

    I remember at her funeral we were given a booklet. One of the poems in it said something along the lines of her being a borrowed angel from Heaven sent down to beautify the world.

    I would like to find something along those lines to send to my friend. A nice poem of some sort. After having the booklet for years I can't find it. I really wanted to use one of the poems in it to show her how much I care.

    I had one of my faves written down in a little black book. I have a feeling I threw it out just a few weeks ago when we moved

    This is one of the beautiful poems read at her funeral :

    God's Most Precious Gift
    A baby was created
    by the hand of God above
    To give the world
    the sweetest touch
    of tenderness & love

    With the softness of a whisper
    God made a baby's skin
    And then designed 2 trusting eyes
    to put the starlight in.
    With giggles from a waterfall
    and breezes passing by
    God made a baby's laughter
    and a tiny, sleepy sigh.

    God made the world a precious gift
    more dear & pure then gold
    With little toes to play with
    and tiny hands 2 hold
    And, wrapped in sunshine ribbons
    with a rainbow's pretty swirl
    Brought down to earth the wonder
    of a tiny baby girl.

    Its been 9 years today since you left your mummies arms empty.
    I will never forget walking into her room after your funeral & seeing the baby clothes, blankets, bath & basinette all waiting for you.

    RIP baby girl

    I'm so sorry Dianne. My MIL also had a little boy born with Trisomy 13.
    Neither of them knew til after the baby was born though.
    Baby Lekishya would've been 9 last Wednesday & Thomas would've been 18 this year.
