My Little Angel Brittany

My little niece Brittany who lost her Mom at the tender age of 6 years old wrote me today.  I am always writing her poems spelling out a secret message going down.  She wrote a poem about her Mom and sent it to me.  It is precious and such a tribute to my little sister Christi that I just had to share it with you.

My Mom Christi 

Making me do my homework

Yellow is her favorite color

 

Monday is the day she goes to H.E.B.

On Tuesday she takes us to Sonic for treats

Might be watching Opera secretly

 

Cooking cookies for us all the time

Having fun with me and my brother

Reading all the books she can lay her hands on

Is always at the mall

Saving her money for new shoes

Taking me and Chris to fun places

Is always in my heart

 

Christi is always in my heart too.  She was such a big part of my life,  Here is my poem about her that I was inspired to write:

 

 

MY LITTLE SISTER CHRISTI

 

My little sister Christi was so special to me

Young and carefree in everything that you do

 

Listened to me late at night when we were small girls

I loved her dearly and she was my world

The  many late talks together

Telling each other about our secrets and dreams

Lullabys I sang to her every night before sleep

Every day filled with Barbies and games

 

She was a playmate that I could trust

I loved her dearly and that was enough

So many fun trips to the mall

Treasures full of memories that I will always keep

Excited to see her with children of her own

Rarely a frown where a smile did not grow

 

Caring and kind to all those around her

Heaven is now the place that she lives

Reaching for rainbows and stars in her eyes

I miss her so much, that I sometimes still cry

She wouldn't want us to be sad

Time is so precious don't throw it away

I know that she would want us to be happy the rest of our days

 

 

Be thankful for the time that you have.  Never go to bed angry or sad.  Reach out to those that you love.  God blessed me with Christi who now lives above.
