IN MEMORY OF MY DAUGHTER NATALIE

IN MEMORY OF MY DAUGHTER NATALIE

Looking back I have only fond memories of Natalie

From the very first day that she breathed life

I knew that she would accomplish so much

Even before she became a mother and wife

She was an extremely happy baby

Something she lived throughout her life

One of her greatest accomplishments was

That she became an awesome mother and wife

But I’m getting way ahead of myself

As she grew older she made many friends

Some would be there for a little while

And some a friendship that never ends

She learned so much before she started school

Her teachers were amazed from day one

My wife and I planned to have another child

I prayed that it would be a son

Then we had another beautiful daughter

Nat took her under her wings

Always being the big sister

She taught her so many things

In high school Natalie did very well

She would even excelled in drama

But whenever she needed good advice

She would always ask her mama

I was always there to support what she did

She made the both of us so very proud

We would sing her praises every day

And even boasted about her very loud.

Then came the day when she started college

She wanted to teach and make a difference

She wanted to become a principal

Using her knowledge and common sense

In that time Nat would find happiness in marriage

She and her husband raise a beautiful family

Two sons and a daughter that made us very proud

What else could she accomplish that we didn’t see

She eventually became a grade school principal

Achieving everything that she could be

But somewhere in that space of time

Was something that none of us could foresee

In the end although there is much sadness

And only God knows why she took her life

I still have the fondest memories of my Nat

A Beautiful daughter mother and loving wife
