For Lauren

May God bless little Lauren
We think of her each day
She watches over all of us
As we go on our way

Her smile is in each rainbow
Her warmth in each sunray
Her tears fall with each raindrop
Memories help us through each day

Let her memory fill empty hearts
Let her love guide what we say
Let us see things through those little eyes
And do right by her each day

As her little hands reach out to us
We know she leads the way
May God bless our little Lauren
Let her truth be known, we pray

------------------------

May the truth and nothing but the truth prevail. Cam Brown is due to be retried for Lauren's death soon. He did not cause her death. He did not kill the daughter he loved. Lauren and Cam loved each other and enjoyed the time they spent together. This deserves to be known and Lauren should not be held in our memories as the little girl who was thrown off a cliff by a hateful father if that is not what happened. Lauren should not be remembered as the little girl whose father thought so little of her that he intentionally put her at risk if, indeed, that never happened. Lauren deserves better than that. For all those who have the ability to see through her little eyes, please tell the truth. For those who knew her innocence and her little heart, please speak the truth, not from a place of our own selfishness, but from an untainted honesty.

Give us all the strength to go through this one more time so that the whole truth and nothing but the truth can be heard. Justice is only found in the truth.

I say this as though I really believe solely in the goodness of God to bring about justice and truth. Well, I don't. We have to put our faith and confidence in the goodness of our fellow man to do the right thing and that has proven to be a little harder.
