For Mummies & Daddies

We had so little time to share,

Too soon, I had to leave.

I know how much you love me,

I know how much you grieve.

I know how sharp your pain is,

I feel the aching in your hearts.

My life so quickly ended

Before it barely had a start.

I remember how you held me,

And kissed my face and hands,

You cuddled me so gently;

But, God had other plans.

I was your perfect angel,

From God you knew I came,

Suddenly he called me home again,

And now God holds my hand.

I know you’ll always miss me,

I understand your pain is hard to bear.

Just remember that I’m in heaven

And we’ll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me

And wipe away all of your tears

I’m cuddled now in heaven

By our family members here.

I’m waiting here in heaven,

And on the day we meet again.

I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,

When God calls you home.

Wishing

If we could have a life time wish

A dream that would come true

We'd pray to god with all our hearts

For yesterday and you.

A thousands words can't bring you back

We know because we've tried...

Neither will a thousand tears

We know because we've cried...

You left behind our broken hearts

And happy memories too...

But we never wanted memories

We only wanted you.

Daddy

It must be difficult

To be a man in grief

Since 'men don't cry' and 'men are strong'

No tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult

To stand up to the test

and field calls and visitors

So she can get some rest.

They always ask if shes doing alright

and what shes going through

But seldom take his hand and ask

'My friend, but how are you?'

He hears her crying in the night

and thinks his heart will break

He dries her tears and comforts her,

But stays strong for her sake.

It must be very difficult to start each day anew

and try to be brave...

...He lost his baby too.

Loss

I'm going to tell you something

I hope you'll never have to know.

I'll tell you how a heart can break

And tears can constant flow.

I lost my baby boy you see,

An angel in my eyes.

God chose to take his hand one day

And led him to the skies.

But please do not forget my child.

He was a person too.

And forever he will live

Inside of me and you.

So, please don't ever tell me

That time will heal my pain

Because not even time

Can bring him back again.

Just tell me he is happy

in that land way up above

He's snuggled in an angel's wings

All wrapped in Mummy's love.

Angel Babies

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above

We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with, the death of one small child

Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold.

So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few

To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try.

The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye"

So when a little child departs, we who are left behind,

Must realise God loves children and "Angels are hard to find".
