O'NEILL/LENNON

 O’NEILL/LENNON LISA 25th Anniversary  In loving memory of my dear daughter Lisa who died on  the 11th  September 1998. God's Lent Child "I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine" God said, "For you to love the while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead. It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three; but will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?  She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and should her stay be brief, you’ll have her lovely memories as a solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from Earth return; but there are lessons taught below that I want my children to learn. I've looked the whole world over, in my  search for teachers true; and from the things that crowd  life's lane, I have chosen you. Now will you give her all  your love? nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I  come to take this lent child back again? "I fancied that I  heard them say "Dear Lord, Thy will be done, for all the  joys Thy child will bring the risk of grief we'll run. We will  shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may  and for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.   But should Thy angels call for her much sooner than we’d  planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to  understand. Loved and always remembered by her loving  mummy Liz, John, sisters Natalie, Amanda, Jade, brother  Brandon and John xoxo.
