For Jennifer, Hayley, and Michaela
You touch our hearts
in many ways;
you lift our spirits
with a gentle gaze.
Your benevolent eyes
glow with eternal love,
a soothing light
from Heaven above.
Your radiant smiles
are nascent sun rays,
piercing the clouds
and brightening our days.
The warmth of your hand
and the sound of your voice
rejuvenates our souls
and makes us rejoice.
You have the gift
of eminent grace;
God blessed you
with an Angel’s face.
