My Humble Jewel: A Dedication for Trayvon Martin's Mom

“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the LORD.” II Corinthians 5:8

Oh my precious flower, for I have watched you bloom

I have seen your smile and charming laughter brighten up a room

Good morning my loving sunshine, your eyes are sparkling bright

Although your spirit may be gone

Your glorious legend is still here

Family and friends will miss you so

They’ll hold your name extremely dear

Good afternoon my golden treasure, you have enlightened my very day

Bringing joy throughout the world and to all that come your way

Your warm hugs and gentle kisses will never fade away

You’ll forever be a light to the world in a very unique and special way

Good night my little angel, your heavenly Father draws you near

Your spirit is filled with joy and love, in Him there’s nothing to fear

For to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD

Yes! Oh, yes! My son is with the LORD!

Oh departed soul, the apple of my eye, you have flown away so very high

If I could reach my hands above stretching toward the sky

I’d grab you tight with all my might and never let you go

But now you’re with our Father above

He’s showering you with everlasting love

Oh my delicate rose, until we meet face to face

I’ll hold your love in a special place

Rejoicing upon the streets of gold

In happiness always, we’ll never grow old

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has gathered you unto his wings

As the angels rejoice, and David worships, the saints beautifully sing

While the Spirit of the LORD shines deeply within my heart

I have always loved you from the very start

I love you now and I always will, forever and today

For to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD

Yes! Oh, yes! My son is with the LORD!

My humble jewel is resting above filled with the warmth of Yeshua’s love
