For Claudia and All Wee Ones Now Nestled In Gods' Loving Arms
 
If I could I'd blink away the sorrows
For you i wished to be the perfect life
The world you knew was not a pretty place
 
Oh-I'd give anything to see your face.
 
The best i did to give you comfort
Between the doctors, drugs, disease,  so that
The world you knew I made a loving place
 
Oh-I'd give anything to see your face.
 
You had a Mom, I guess, who did not want you.
You were sick, without a home.
I gave you mine.
I loved you up with all of my being
 
How could this be what I am seeing?
 
Stark emptiness lurking deep in shadows
All the places you should be sigh your name
Claudia, this world I know will miss your grace
Oh -I'd give anything to see your face.
 
 
To Claudia: the much loved ferret I never met yet grieve for
Lisette
 
Sorry.  It doesn't capture the care and concern and devotion of Stephanie
or the spunk and sass and wonder of Claudia.
