Today she would have been 18,
It all still feels like a bad dream,
I still think of her everyday,
And can't believe she went away,
I want her here so bad,
Sometimes it makes me mad,
But anger won't bring her back,
She's with God now and that's that,
Everyone says it was her time,
I just can't get that through my mind, Her smile, laugh, and love for life,
Was simply an amazing sight,
She truly was a great friend,
And I will love her 'til the end,
I miss you Lauren without a doubt,
And I will 'til my time runs out.

Lauren...
Inquisitive smile, country was her style,
Hazel eyes with dreams trapped inside,
Just seventeen, soul pure and clean,
Radiant bliss, angelic voice, I’ll always miss.

The Cord
We are connected.
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It’s not like the cord
That connects us ‘til birth
This cord can’t be seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it’s work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied.
It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you’re not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised…I am sore
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can’t take it away!
