My Heart is a Locket...
My Heart holds Golden Memories of You
Its a Golden Rimmed Locket
Linked by a Golden Chain of Much Treasured Thoughts
Safely Secure For all of time all of them mine
When you use the key to open my heart
There you'll see
An Image of My Sweet Angel Child
Lent to me for just a while.
Though I know You Forever Sleep
And with tears of Sorrow I begin to Weep
Then I just close my eyes and My Angel I Visualize
And I can see and feel You did not leave
Your soul is Here on Earth Guiding Me
And In the Clouds your Flying Free.

Written by Sylvie in late 2002
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 be 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!

Baby Castle

In a baby castle just beyond my eye,
my baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who am I to wish him back in to this world of strife?
No, play on my baby, you have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes,
I'll hear his tiny footsteps come running to my side.
His little hands caress me so tenderly and sweet,
I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes, and embrace him in my sleep.
Now I have a treasure that I rate above all other.
In have known true glory;
I am still his mother.
But A Moment

You'll always be my child-I think of you each day,
Even though you must remain so very far away.
A love as strong as this, I've never felt before;
But you had to go away-up through heaven's door.
You'll never have to suffer, or feel pain or hate,
just peace and love and happiness-
God has given you this fate.
I hope that you can feel just how much I care;
And, When my days are over, in a flash-I will be there.
Pure unbounding joy! We'll never have to part.
You'll be right by my side-And not just in my heart.
But, until that day, when my dream is real-
I think I understand, just how I should feel...
"Mom, I am fine!" this must be what you would say-
"Please don't be so sad, we'll meet again one day:
I'm with God above - so don't cry for me,
Our parting is but a moment compared to eternity."
