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 her 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 her tiny footsteps come running to my side.
Her little hands caress me so tenderly and sweet,
I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes, and embrace her in my sleep.
Now I have a treasure that I rate above all other.
I have known true glory;
I am still her mother.

Angel Whispers

Have you ever truly heard
An Angel whisper in your ear?
Their voices are soft and comforting
Letting you know you have nothing to fear.

If you listen very carefully
You just might hear their sweet voice
Whispering to you of God's perfect love
And all things that make you rejoice.

They do their very best
To always watch over you
To keep you safe and happy
In everything you do.

So, next time you feel lonely
Kinda scared and feeling blue
Just whisper to your Angel...
... And listen ...
For they'll whisper back to you.
~ And You'll Feel Their Love ~

�AngelWinks 2000

Yesterday I heard your voice,
Today that voice is still
I yearn to hear it once again
I know I always will.

Yesterday I touched your face
As you were safe in bed
If I could kiss you just once more
And stroke your precious head.

You touched my life so briefly
but the magic lingers on
It goes to bed with me at twilight
and wakes with me at dawn.
If I live until forever
till my eyes no longer see,
My mind will forever remember
What you were and are to me..

Stairway to Heaven
They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Forever angel, you'll be mine
Today, tomorrow, for all time
Upon my breast you lay so sweet
Dear child of mine, my pain is deep.
Your eyes are closed, your breath is still
I could but think this can't be real.
So many plans we had for you
Are laid to rest as you are too.
A day won't pass I will forget
You'll forever be my angel yet

If I could have a lifetime wish,
          A dream that would come true,
        I'd pray to God with all my heart
           for yesterday and you.

         A thousand word's can't bring you back,
            I know because I've tried.
          And neither will a million tears,
             I know because I've cried.

          You left behind a broken heart,
               And happy memories too.
            I never wanted memories,
                I only wanted you..

D is for Devoted, with a heart of gold,
E is for Expressive, a merry soul
S is for Special, Sensitive and Smart
I is for Innocent, love you impart
R is for Remarkable, a brilliant mind,
A is for Angel, so caring and kind,
E is for Enchanting, gift from above,
Desirae,
So Precious
And So Loved..

God's Little Ones

God makes little children
he makes them every day
and though he loves them dearly
he gives them all away.

He gives each to an angel
and says take baby down
yo such and such a mother
in such and such a town.

Or such and such a cottage
in such and such a place
He gives the angel with it
a big soul full of grace.

God does so love those children
it's all that he can do
to let the angel take them
but he loves the mother's too.

And so he saids I'll lend you
this little one of mine
the angel folds it's love
about the gift divine.

The angel watches over
the child day and night
so glad to see that lovely soul
all shining in God's light.

God makes so many children
and every now and then
he seems to want one specially
we don't know why or when.

He whispers to it's angel
bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
that someday we may see.

It sees the souls of mother's
and father's in God's light
offering him tiny children
whose souls are shining bright.
God does so love those children
who's souls are never dim
and how he loves those parents
who give them back to him.

ON A CHILD'S DEATH

All heaven was in mourning,
The day that young man died,
When he closed his eyes, they said,
Ten thousand angels cried.

The angels shed their many tears,
Because he was God's son,
But there is a special sadness,
When God takes the very young.

At times like that, I question God,
Why let a child die?
I cannot understand it,
And I need to ask him why.

I, too, have heard the angels cry,
I've heard them cry first hand,
For I, too, gave up a child,
And I've tried hard to understand.

Yes, I received God's comfort,
Though I'm grateful, I want more,
I want reasons, I want meaning,
I am a parent who's heart-sore.

God can give, and God can take,
I am well aware of this,
But, why my baby - why my child?
Why did God put her on his list?

Did I love my child too much?
Was she too good for this old earth?
Had her purpose here been filled?
Was that why she was taken first?

I awake each day with questions,
I fall asleep at night, the same,
So many times I ask God why,
I'm both saddened and ashamed.

But then, in reflective moments,
When my prayers are most intense,
One word keeps going through my mind,
Patience - Patience - P atience.

Maybe now is not the time,
To explain this great heartache,
Even if I knew God's reason's,
What difference would it make?

Can't I just be grateful ,
For any time we had?
Accept God's action without question?
Why is that so very bad?

What's my hurry - Why my pressure?
Is my faith not strong enough?
God will explain it when he's ready,
Surely I can trust that much.

God understands my broken heart,
He, too, gave up a Son,
He knows the pain of one lost child,
He weeps with me, and we are one.

Just as I talk to God each day,
I talk to my precious child,
I blow her kisses, and I say,
"See you, honey, in a while."
