About Rebecca Anderson

Rebecca was an LPN that responded to the Oklahoma City Bombing and

courageously gave of herself to help the injured. While she was inside

the Federal building caring for the sick, she was struck by a piece of

concrete debris from a falling wall. The incident ultimately led to her

death (five days later).

This tribute is to pay honor to her memory and valiant act. It is with

great pride and a heartfelt sadness I add this nursing tribute to my

"Angel of Mercy" collection.

*****************************************

In the scope of this great earth

You are more than just a name

You're an Angel without wings

Won the Golden Heart of Fame

See the Golden Heart of Fame

Is no easy task to reach

It's an honor in God's home

All the Angels do beseech

And the Angels stand in awe

At the risk that you did take

You were willing to risk all

For the lives that were at stake

It's a given fact you know

How a nursing heart does act

It's a quality innate

Selflessly they do react

And this was the beauty seen

In Rebecca's heart that day

Never once did she look back

As she saw the victims lay

As a tribute to her life

There's a special gift above

That the Angels all admire

For her precious act of love

It's a heart made of pure gold

On a stand that's crystal clear

With a radiance so keen

Every night it does appear

If at night we look above

There's a shine we all will see

Don't mistake it for the stars

It's Rebecca's Gift We See.
