| NATURE'S RAINBOWS We held them in our parent arms for days or weeks or years. Now we hold them in our hearts and cry the darkest tears. The cord attached to children, eternally fine and strong. We never leave the missing; it holds us all life long. Our children now inside us - our souls tattooed with gold. Their love, their words, caresses, are hugs that we still hold. If we open to the knowledge, that they aren't completely gone, we will sometimes feel their touching, sometimes soft and sometimes strong. When they show us nature's rainbows, we can feel their proud delight, sending signs to show they're living, only far beyond our sight. |

| Poems that have touched my heart... |
| MOM AND DAD Don't cry away your life for me, for I am with you - you just can't see. You may not feel my presence from above But I'm constantly around, embracing you with love. When you're awake I'm always there - when bedtime comes, your pillow I share. I know you want me back with you - but, I'm always there, if only you know. I hear you talking to me each day, oh, I, too, have so much to say. My Mom and Dad, you'll always be - you're just a thought away from me. Your love went with me - I'm not alone. I can feel your heartbeat, which is now my home. I know I was loved during my life there with you And all that you gave continues to see me through. We were so close, both you and I - Please remember that - not, the good-bye. Hold on to these thoughts, keep them close at heart For like you've said, we're never far apart. There's one last think I have to say - I feel your love and I'm okay. So please don't cry away your life for me, For I am with you - one day, you'll see. written by: Debbie Landsman [email protected] |
| Always missing you, always loving you, and thinking of you daily, with a smile on my face... and tears on my heart. |
| God looked around his Garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain. And knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes, He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly. When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain, We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again. You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your family, you're always by our side. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home. Author Unknown |
