Tiny Angels

Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".

 
The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.

The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

Lullaby

What I wouldn't give
To have you in my arms again,
Breathe your scent
And snuggle close to you.
I want to watch you sleep,
See your chest rise and fall
In peaceful slumber.
Let me lay my hand
Over your heart,
So I can
Feel it beating
Beneath my touch.
I want to be
Lulled to sleep
By its rhythm.

~~ by Tara Simms

Don't Tell Me

Please don't tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost your child too,
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal,
Because that is just not true,
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place,
Though it is true, I want him here with me,
Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face,
Beyond today I cannot see,
Don?t tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot,
Don?t tell me to face the fact he is gone,
Because denial is something I can't stop,
Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had,
Because I wanted more,
Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,
I'll never be as I was before,
What you can tell me is you will be here for me,
That you will listen when I talk of my child,
You can share with me my precious memories,
You can even cry with me for a while,
And please don't hesitate to say his name,
Because it is something I long to hear everyday,
Friend please realize that I can never be the same,
But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday.

  I am not there

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I'll Be There

Daddy please don't look so sad, Momma please don't cry,
cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you
and then He changed his mind.

You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
that's my halo's brilliant light.

You'll see me in the morning frost
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze from a gentle wind that blows,
that's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.

When you see a child playing
and your heart feels a little tug,
that's me, I'll be there giving your heart a hug.
So daddy please don't look so sad, momma don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies

Author Unknown

Don't cry for me Daddy
I am right here
Although you can't see me
I see your tears
I visit you often
Go to work with you each day
And when it's time to close your eyes
On your pillows where I lay
I hold your hand and stroke your hair
And whisper in your ear
If you're sad today Daddy
Remember I am here
God took me home
This we know is true
But you will always be my Daddy
Even though I'm not with you
I am Daddy's little boy
We will never be apart
For every time you think of me
Please know I'm in your heart

My empty arms are crying
how I long to hold you tight
I can hear your cries of hunger
as I awaken in the night
I still can see your laughing eyes
my silly bubble blowing lips
How I wish just one more time
I could kiss your tiny fingertips
I thought that you were resting well
the morning you slept too long
As I picked up your lifeless form
I refused to believe that you were gone
They told me I did nothing wrong
and no reason they could find
Then they put me in a room
so I could hold you one last time
Too soon they took you from my arms
and left an aching in my heart
Losing you will always be
the pain that tore my world apart

My baby has died. Please don't tell me you know how I feel. You don't. You can't. I hope you never do. Don't tell me that he's with God and I should be happy. How can I be happy when every time I go into his nursery all I see is an empty crib and toys that will never be played with? How can I be happy when my arms ache to hold him?

Please don't tell me God needed another angel. It's hard for me to understand why God would take away this little one who was so loved. Maybe I'll understand later. But for right now.... let God find another angel. Please, please, please don't tell me I'll have other children. Maybe I will... but my son was not a puppy that ran away.... he cannot be replaced.

Maybe you could just listen when I remember out loud all the things we did together... the walk, the early morning feedings, the first time he rolled over. Maybe you could just sit with me while I cry over all the things we'll never do together.

Please don't tell me it could be worse. How?

I really don't want to hear about your grandfather's death. It's not the same. Don't think my pain will be eased by comparison. Of course I'm glad that he didn't suffer, but I'd be a lot happier if he hadn't died at all.

I know it must be hard for you, but would you mind looking at his picture just one more time, we don't have many of him and I'm just a little bit afraid that I may forget what he looked like. He wasn't here that long, you know.

Could you please just listen?

Don't tell me I'll get over it. There is no "over it", only through it. Maybe you could just be with me while I take my first steps through it. Please don't tell me I should be glad he was just a baby, or that at least I didn't get to know him. I knew him before I ever saw him. He is a part of me. And now he is gone. I haven't just lost a three -month old baby. I have lost a part of myself.

I know you mean well, but please don't expect me to tell you how to help me. I'd tell you if I knew, but right now I can hardly put one foot in front of the other. Maybe if you looked around, you could find some things to do. PLEASE DON'T TRY TO REMOVE MY PAIN OR DISTRACT ME FROM IT. I HAVE TO FEEL THIS WAY NOW. Maybe you could just listen.

Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry that I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.

Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.

God didn't take me cause He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious .. don't you see?

Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy, someday.

Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.

 

  When you've suffered the loss of a child,
It may be comforting to know,
There's a special place in Heaven,
Where all Gods Children go.
It is a happy, peaceful place,
Where no child ever cries,
They are innocently content to be,
A blessed Angel in your eyes.
The one and only need they have,
Is for you to understand,
That only very special Children,
Are place in Gods loving hand.
The Lord smiles down upon them,
While in his tender care,
As they patiently await the time,
That you will meet them there.
And though the time on Earth short lived,
Please set your sorrow free,
For one day in Gods Holy Land,
Together you will share Eternity.
Chris Woolnough

Go ahead and mention my child,
The one that died you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.

Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.

I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that he has been missed.

You ask me how I am doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine".
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.

My Mum is a Survivor
My mum is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying
when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night.
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
But like the sands upon a beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mum
who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others,
a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's open door,
I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mum tries to cope with my death,
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her
knows it's her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mum
through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that
Angel protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her,
or ease the burdens she bears.
So if you get a chance, call to her
And show her that you care.
For no matter what she feels,
my surviving mum has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal.
~K. D'Ormeaux ~

Ask My Mom How She Is

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mom how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.

Ask my Mom how she is,
She'll say "I'm alright."
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mom how she is,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For God's sake Mom, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.

She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mom,
With all the lies you told!"

Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights, like heavens stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring;
for it's beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I can see the pain in your heart,
but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So, be happy for me dear ones,
for you know, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

 Dear Friend, today you broke my heart,
In a place that was unbroken.
You did it with your thoughtless words
That should not have been spoken.
You know that I am grieving;
That my pain is deep and real.
Your hurtful words pierced like a knife.
How do you think I feel?
You may not suffer from my loss
Or share this lonely grief;
But I'm mourning my baby,
Who's life was much too brief.
I'm sure you don't know how I feel,
I don't expect you to.
Don't ask me to get over it....
That's something I can't do.
Without grief, there's no healing.
It's a journey I must make.
It's not the path that I would choose,
But one I'm forced to take.
No matter how you choose to see
What I am going through,
I need compassion and support....
I'd do the same for you.

-Unknown

When you fee a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sign
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands on your nose
They've added a small kiss
AS fragile as a rose

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above

If you awaken in he morning
To a sparrow's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long

If tiny little snow flakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel Lace

These Are My Footprints

These are my footprints, so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint, for now I have my wings.
These tiny footprints were meant for other things
You will hear my tiny footprints, in the patter of the rain
Gentle drops like angel tears, of joy and not from pain
You will see my tiny footprints, in each butterflies lazy dance
I'll let you know I’m with you, if you give me just a chance.
You will hear my tiny footprints, in the rustle of the leaves
I will whisper names into the wind and call each one that grieves.
Most of all these tiny footprints are found in mummy’s heart
Cause even though I’m gone now, we'll never truly part

 Dear Mommy and Daddy

I just wanted to let you know,
That I made it home.
The journey wasn't an easy one,
But it didn't take to long.

Everything is so pretty here,
So white, so fresh and new.
I wish that you could close your eyes,
And that you could see it too.

Please try not to be sad for me...
Try to understand.
God is taking care of me...
I'm in the shelter of his hands.

Here there is no sadness,
No sorrow and no pain.
Here there is no crying,
No hurt for us again.

Here it is so peaceful,
When all the angels sing.
I really have to go now-
I've just got to try my wings.

The moment that you died,
Our hearts split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
We often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
We hold you tightly within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.
For those who still have their children,
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and their not there.

Don't Cry...

Don't cry mamma, don't shed a tear,
I know your heart is full of fear
because today I had to leave,
and watch from heaven as you grieve.

Don't cry pappa, please be strong,
listen to your heart, for my song.
I know you cannot touch my face,
but I'll be with you, every place .

Don't weep mamma, dry those tears.
I'll be with you through the years.
Listen closely and watch the stars,
You will feel me, near and far.

Don't weep pappa, and don't be mad,
It's hard, I know, when you're so sad.
Quiet whispers are felt within -
You will hear them, let them in.

Don't sob mamma, it's alright,
I left on my journey and with wings took flight!
God requested I come up high,
And watch over you while by his side.

Don't sob pappa, things will be ok.
I know it's such a darkend day.
But I'm an angel and have work to do,
Watching mamma and you..

We Will Carry You In Our Heart Always

Why God takes the little ones
We swear we'll never know
You had so much life to live
It just wasn't time for you to go …

For comfort now, We think of you
With tiny little wings
Up above, in a beautiful place,
Listening to the angels sing …

You'll never know the pain We feel
The hurt you left behind
Oh, what We wouldn't give to hold you in our arms
To show you just how much you are truly loved ...

Until they no longer beat
We will carry you in our heart ...

When the Angels Call

I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, He said.
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all of your love, nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joy thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, we'll ever grateful stay.
But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

The mention of my child's name  

may bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of his name.
It soothes my broken heart, and sings to my soul

When I Get Where I'm Going Lyrics
Artist(Band):Brad Paisley
(feat. Dolly Parton)

When I get where I'm going
On the far side off the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm goin
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

Yeah when I get where I'm goin
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm goin
Oh When I get where I'm goin
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

this song that was played at Austin viewing

One day a tiny angel boy
Flew out of heaven's gate,
He was not discovered missing,
Until it was too late.
Of course, God was most disturbed,
About this precious, little soul,
Who got away from earth and went to heaven,
Before his time to go.
But God's eye was on this little guy,
Who'd been wonderfully designed,
Though tiny, he was mighty,
He just needed growing time.
Yet somehow he slipped through the gate,
When the gatekeeper's back was turned,
And he made it all the way to heaven,
With wings too small for his return.
He found a perfect mother and father,
Whose heart are bigger than he was,
Not even heaven could compete
For such a mother's and father’s love.
The divine love he brought with him,
Was a love direct from God,
For he still belongs to heaven,
Though here on earth
He was so fragile and so helpless,
His mother and father's strength not quite strong enough,
A Man's world a strange and frightening place,
Not like heaven - much too tough.
This child was made by God
In His image, for His Glory,
No way could earth lay claim to him,
To this precious, angel boy.
Too young to fly home on his own,
God sent gentle angels down,
Who swiftly, sweetly carried him
where he belonged.
God left a message for his mother and father,
To let them know their son and them
Would one day be together,
As they ought to be.
But in the meantime, they should listen,
And watch up in the sky,
For what they thinks are tiny birds
May be their sweet angel flying by

THIS CHAT ROOM IS FOR MOMS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

ANYONE CAN USE IT TOO TALK TO ANYONE JUST CLICK ON IT

I love you Peanut not a day goes by that mommy does not think of you.

I miss you so very much baby boy.

My dad is a survivor too...
which is no surprise to me.
He's always been like a lighthouse
that helps you cross a stormy sea.

But, I walk with my dad each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others.
He cries when no one's around.

I watch him sit up late at night,
with my picture in his hand.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wishes he could understand.

My dad is like a tower of strength.
He's the greatest of them all!
But there's times when he needs to cry...
Please be there when he falls.

Hold his hand or pat his shoulder...
and tell him it's okay.
Be his strength when he's sad,
Help him mourn in his own way.

Now, as I watch over my precious dad
from the Heaven's up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor...
And, I can still feel his love!

 

Hey baby I love so very much I hope you and great grandma have a great easter in heaven. I miss you peanut and not a day goes by that i'm not thinking of you. or wishing you were here.  HAPPY EASTER LITTLE MAN

 

I LOVE YOU AUSTIN!

Chesney Kenny

who you'd be today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone

Chorus:

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
The death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today

Would you see the world?
Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family?
I wonder, what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

Chorus

Today, Today, Today
Today, Today, Today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday

Someday, Someday

[Thanks to doranmj for lyrics]

 

 

diamond rio

one more day with you

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didnt ask for money
Or a mansion in malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you

Chorus

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe Id be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing Id do, is pray for time to crawl
Then Id unplug the telephone
And keep the tv off
Id hold you every second
Say a million I love yous
Thats what Id do, with one more day with you

Chorus

Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AVRIL LAVIGNE LYRICS
Keep Holding On

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth

Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

There is a little corner
That I visit every day,
No-one knows I go there
Or how long that I stay.
In this little corner
I speak to you alone,
I think what it would be like
To have you here at home.
In the little corner
I hold you really tight,
I cuddle, kiss and squeeze you
You're such a lovely sight.
In my little corner
I tuck you up to sleep,
I sneak another cuddle
I have another weep.
Where is this little corner?
It's where we're never apart
Where I always have you with me;
It's the corner of my heart

 

 With Hope

 
 

Will it ever get better, I ask myself daily...
When will the pain subside...
I think of you so often...
you've watched me as I've cried...
I cannot count the minutes...
I cannot count the tears...
I cannot count the yearning hours...
I've craved to hold you near...
I listen for your cries,
as I lay to sleep at night...
In hopes to hear your sweetness,
So I can hold you tight.
You are not here with me...
I live without my heart...
you've gone somewhere without me...
and it tore my life apart...

By Sara Scheid

  

I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.

No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.

I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.

When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.

Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.

And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.

For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.

 

I Hear Each Tear Fall On Her Face

BEVERLEY MITCHELL LYRICS

 Have you ever met an angel
Whose smile is like the sun
Whose laugh is like a melody
That reaches everyone

Have you ever hugged an angel
Swept up in their embrace
And swear there's nothing in this world
That makes you feel that safe

[Chorus:]
Have you ever really loved an angel
Once you have you'll never be the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel
Say goodbye, let 'em fly, my angel, my best friend

Have you felt the strength of an angel
When you needed it the most
Lifted by those gentle wings
You know you're not alone
Every now and then I feel the peace inside
Wherever life may take me, I'm guided by that light

[Chorus:]
Have you ever really loved an angel
Once you have you'll never be the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel
Say goodbye, let 'em fly, my angel, my best friend

Cause I have really loved an angel
How could I ever be the same
Cause I have had to let go of my angel
Say goodbye, let 'em fly, my angel, my best friend

HAPPY 2 BIRTHDAY BABY!

A Special Birthday

(author unknown)

Please God, make them remember that
Today is a special, birthday.
Make them understand that
The memories don't go away.
Bless them, with ears to hear and hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know that my child's life was not in vain.
Help them to remember, Lord that I wish
That my child was here
So we could still celebrate.
To understand that I still
Feel the nearness of my child.
To see beyond my smile and the
Words. "I'm okay."
Please God, just let one remember today
Is a special birthday!

Happy Birthday In Heaven


I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.


You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.

God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)

I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat

Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud


There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends


I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings


We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY

DADDY AND MOMMY

MISS AND LOVE

YOU BUNCHES!!

Latest Tributes

poem - How do we convey Just how we feel When we lose someone we love? How do we explain The deep, lonely pain The emptiness left in us? No words can express The hurt and anguish Nor touch on how we feel God shares our tears And gives us His love And He, in time, will heal The hopes and the dreams We had just remains Like an unfinished book of their life As an incomplete chapter Remains unfinished With nothing more to write But we can know God’s comfort And know there is hope With a new chapter to begin We can hold on to God For He loves us so much And fills the void within As we close one chapter Another can begin Though the one we love has gone Through Christ’s strength in us And hope in our hearts We find courage to carry on - from Pat (kenny's Mom)

(Felipe's Nana) - I just want you to know I am thinking of you and your Mommy today ..... I have you always in my heart and I am sending both of you lots of warm hugs... and a special kiss for you lil angel Austin.... Adriana - from Adriana

The Blessing - I remember you all in my heart and my mind, Blessings of my family, for being one of a kind, When my tears flow and the dark heartache begins, I think of how beautiful you must all look with those wings... Blessings for the times you were just here with me, Blessed I am, for the five & then the three, Those precious times help me cope & get me through, The dark unhappy days when I hurt, and miss you... I will face up to those moments each time they occur, With the courage and spirit you taught me to endure, I will go on for my girls - they're a blessing too, I am not finished yet... no matter what I go through, For I'm a mum, a grandmother, right to the final end, And love is the blessing, the white knight... my friend. - from Blake Summers mum

Courage To Go On - Dear God, When I am lonely and, Perhaps I feel despair. Let not my ailing heart forget, That YOU hear every prayer.. Remind me that no matter what, I do or fail to do, There still is hope for as long As I have FAITH in YOU.. Let not my eyes be blinded by Some folly I commit. But help me to regret my wrong, And to make up for it.. Inspire me to put my fears, Upon a hidden shelf, And in the future never to Be sorry for myself. Give me the restful sleep I need, Before another dawn, And bless me in the morning with "THE COURAGE TO GO ON.." - from Laurie Kat's Mommy

Happy Father's Day - Here I sit and stare.... out the window of our home.., On this Fathers day... Feeling so very alone. Oh, how I wish.... My child was still here.... Bringing me a Fathers day gift... Even an ugly tie would be so nice this year. But...my child has gone on to Heaven... And is playing on streets of gold... Listening to Jesus tell stories... of so many years ago. And today I find myself thinking... about the meaning of a gift.... For a gift is something given to you... that makes you smile and gives you a lift. But...many times we receive a gift.... And then lose it or misplace it some day... But we never forget the gift... For the memories remain tucked away. I think I have concluded... On this Fathers day.... That since a gift is yours once given... It can never be taken away. And the most precious gift...that I was given.... To me ...so many years ago.... Was the day my child entered this world.... And touched my life, heart, and soul. So on this Fathers day.... I thank the Lord for the most precious gift of mine.... My child in Heaven...treasured times and memories.... That will remain with me...my entire lifetime. For a Gift is a gift... And my most precious gift....remains in my heart... And just then...a rainbow appears out my window.... reminding me....that my gift and heaven are not so far. - from Laurie Kat's Mommy

You never really Cried much only to be changed or if you were hungry or just wanted to be held. but when you did cry you always stuck out your bottom lip. Mommy was blessed with a perfected little angel. You were so handsome little man. you would always try and suck your thumb but half the time you would end up try to put your whole hand in your mouth. You were growing so well. you had just learned how to smile and I loved making you smile. I remember when I took you to go get your shots you were just smiling away at the nurses.
