Vanessa

You had a heart so full of empathy and grace

A patient, gentle spirit that could light up any place

I smile when I remember how you loved to shop and dress

Matching every color, always looking your best

We’d drive around with music playing loud

Singing in the car, Vanessa, you made me so proud

So sensitive and kind to everyone you knew

My beautiful daughter, there is no one quite like you

Now my heart is broken that you're not right here

I think of you every day and wipe away a tear

But it gives me joy to know you have no more pain

And I hold onto the promise I will see you again

You're lifting up your hands to the Lord you love

Safe in Jesus' loving arms in heaven above

I close my eyes and I can see you spin

Dancing to the salsa with a joyful grin

You loved your family with a love so deep

These are the memories your mother will keep

Your sweet dog Chica misses you today

I miss the compassionate words you would say

You were a tender soul, a light in the dark

Leaving this world with a beautiful mark

Now my heart is broken that you're not right here

I think of you every day and wipe away a tear

But it gives me joy to know you have no more pain

And I hold onto the promise I will see you again

You're lifting up your hands to the Lord you love

Safe in Jesus' loving arms in heaven above

The house is quiet, but my faith is strong

I know exactly where your spirit belongs

I can almost hear the melodies you sing

As you rest in the presence of the King

No sorrow in the heavens, only perfect peace

Where every heavy burden finds a sweet release

Though my heart is broken that you're not right here

I think of you every day and wipe away a tear

But it gives me joy to know you have no more pain

And I hold onto the promise I will see you again

Keep lifting up your hands to the Lord you love

I'll see you in Jesus' loving arms above
