if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you would not cry the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we did not get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready, in Heaven far above and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye, for all life I'd always thought I did not want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought just for a while, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me from His great golden throne. He said "This is eternity and all love promised you. Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow but today will always last and since each day's the same day there's no longing for the past." So, when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.  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. Hi Mommy It's me, your little Angel, Just checking in with you. I know you're sad, because I'm gone and Mommy I'm sad too. It's beautiful here, where ever I am, there's such a lovely view. But mostly when I'm sitting here I'm looking down at you. I see your feelings everyday when I look down I love to see you smile and I know sometimes you frown. But guess what? I have a job to do. God saved it for your little girl I get to watch over you and protect you from the world. So though you cannot see me and I know it's hard on you, You'll surely see the benefits of the job God has me do. Little Angels When God calls little Angels 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 rose bud before it can grow old God knows how much we need them and so he takes but a 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 realize God loves children and angels are hard to find. If I knew If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you fall asleep, I'd tuck you in more tightly, And pray your should to keep. If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you walk out the door, I'd hug you and kiss you--and call you back for just one more. If I knew it would be the last time we'd spare a minute or two, I'd stop and say "I love you", instead of assuming you know I do. If I knew it would be the last time I'd be there to share your day, I wouldn't wait until tomorrow, Letting time with you slip away. For surely there is a tomorrow to make up for an oversight, And we'll always get a second chance to make everything all right. There will always be another chance to say our "I love you's", And certainly there's another chance to say our "What can I do's". But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say I love you and hope you never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today might be your last chance to hold your loved one tight. So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it all today? For if tomorrow never comes, You will surely regret today. You didn't take the extra time for a smile or hug or kiss. And you surely aren't too busy to grant what may be their last wish. So, hold your loved one close today and whisper in their ear; Tell them how much you love them dear Take the time to say "I'm sorry," "Forgive me" or "it's okay," And if tomorrow never comes, You'll have no regrets about today. Little Spirit You're a special Little Spirit", the all great Master said. As he gently caressed the curly brown hair of the Little Spirits head "you need to go to earth to spend some time you know, A place I sent most spirits to be tested, to learn and grow" The Little Spirit in sadness, slowly bowed his head, And from his eye a tear did steal an down his cheek it shed. "Don't you fret now little one, I won't let you stay too long. I'll bring you back to help me here, you'll hardly know you've been gone. You're my choicest Little Spirit, you're the apple of my eye." And he wiped the tear and gently kissed His Little Spirit goodbye. "I'm back," Little Spirit whispered, as he climbed into his Masters knee, And the Master said, "I told you, you would not be long away from me." And then the Lord, He noticed still another tear welled up in his eye. "Why are you so sad, Little Spirit, whatever should make you cry?" "I'm glad I'm back," Spirit said, "but Master you must surely know, When your angel came to get me, I didn't want to go. I know you said you needed me and that I'd be gone the shortest while, But Lord, couldn't I have had a little longer earthly trial?" The Master let the Little Spirit slip down from off his knee, He firmly took the little hand and said, "Come walk with me." The Little Spirit and his Lord walked slowly hand in hand, As the Master explained his special part in the great and marvelous plan. "Now Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand that you needed me home. But I left in such a hurry, I left everyone hurting and alone. I didn't let my earthly parents know how much I loved them so. I was much too small to tell them. Lord, how will they ever know? They feel they have been cheated, and in a way, so do I. Not getting to share any more than we did, how can I ever tell them why?" "Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy with this message you need to share. But you need not to worry anymore, I'll watch over your loved ones there. I'll send them loving comfort as a strong and helping hand. I'll content and give peace to their aching hearts, so they will understand. The Little Spirit looked up at his Master and said, "Thank you for explaining it to me. And could you please tell them I'm safe and happy and that someday they'll be here with me." "Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod, "I'll tell them all that I can." Then others came to see the Little Spirit, as the Lord let go of his hand. He said, "I'll tell them you're pure as pure as Heaven's gold, That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul to keep Heaven from getting cold."
