Oh Mother, my mother
Oh mother, my mother
I touch your tears
invisible fingers
soothing your skin
I know you think of me so often
in the day, in the night
in your dreams
going into an empty nursery
knowing I'll never be there
but I am here...in your heart
in your soul, I shall always be
for you gave so unselfishly
of yourself.
Inside of you, you created
such a world for me
a world of laughter, of love
of sadness, of sorrow
every emotion people come to know
you shared with me.
And even though I may never
feel your arms around me
I felt your heart beating,
like a lullaby, singing me to sleep
and your spirit giving me a safe haven
already protecting me
nurturing me
preparing me of things to come.
But sometime the journey
of life pulls souls apart
and yes, I had to go on
to another place.
I wish I could stay
I wish this was a decision
I could make
and I know you do too.
Know this wherever you are:
I will always remember
that yours was the first love
the first joy, the first soul
I will ever know
you gave me the courage to
go on in my journey
I hope I can do the same
for you
Your heart beat will always call me to you.
Love, your child
Oh Father, my father
Close your eyes and feel me near
keep me inside your heart
let me live in your soul
you see through tears
the things we will never do
running across the fields of my youth
games never played
but it is not gone
those dreams you hold so close
for I live on in every child you see
little ones standing alone...lost
or laughing in a playground
swinging so high
touching the tree tops
that is I
wanting just to love
feel my happiness in the song of a bird
see my sorrow in mother
hold her close forever
feeling your strength
for there will be one to come behind me
whether through God's grace or
from a different calling
a child chosen through His hand.
For in darkness, a light will appear
even if it is just the dawn
signaling a new beginning
and as you gather mother to your heart
release your tears
let the healing begin
and discover that I am here
in your dreams
in your tomorrows
Every rainbow is the path home
and if you should stumble
I am the wings that shall lift you
Love, your child
Your fingerprints are on my heart.
Even though I never held your hand -
you touched me.
Even though I never heard you speak -
you taught me.
You taught me about love.
You taught me about caring.
You taught me about courage.
You taught me about faith.
You taught me about happiness.
You taught me about sorrow.
You brought me closer to my loved ones.
You brought me closer to myself.
In the time I cared for you,
my how life changed.
Never to be the same again.
Because of you
I know I will somehow be stronger.
Because of you
I know I will be more prepared for life.
All this from tiny fingerprints
that touched my heart.
Because of this
you will live forever in my soul -
never to be forgotten.
I will always love you.
You are my child.
What Makes a Mother...
I thought of you all, I closed my eyes and prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother and I know I heard Him say,
A Mother has a baby. This we know is true.
But God can you be a Mother when your baby's not with you?
"Yes you can!", He replied with confidence in His voice,
"I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice."
Some I send for a lifetime and other's for a day
And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God, I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile with other children and say,
"We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me.
I learned my lesson very quick my Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep at night on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear,
Mommy don't be sad today I'm your baby and I'm here."
So you see my dear sweet one, your children are OK.
Your babies are here in my home and this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with me until your lesson is through.
And on that day that you come home they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother.
It's the feeling in you heart.
It's the love you had so much of right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize that you are a Mother Until there time is done.
They'll be up here with me one day and know you're the very best one.
Miscarriage of Justice
I went in prayer with anger to blame God for my baby's death,
And could not believe the hateful words escaping on my breath.
I screamed, "You took my child, Lord, how could you be so unfair?
Why give to me such hopes and dreams to break my heart without a care?
I can't believe a loving God would put me in such pain"
(Sometimes I hope my life will end before I go insane)
While unsaved people have many kids they neglect, abuse or kill,
I ask just one to raise for you according to your will.
Why did you end this precious life the was thriving in my womb,
And leave behind a tiny corpse inside this living tomb?
What can I do to bring him back and end my terrible grief?
Take my life and end this strife so I'll no longer have to weep!
I know you saw inside of me those things left to me unseen.
Why didn't you do something, Lord? You could have intervened!
What purpose did this child serve the short time he was here?
Except to turn my life to hell while I wallowed in my tears.
I prayed to you most every night to help this little one grow,
And you saw inside my womb the things I didn't even know.
My precious child, don't think I do not understand your loss.
I felt the same pain you feel now when my son died on the cross.
I sent Jesus there to die for you --
The most painful thing I've had to do.
Then there was a somber pause as God choked back a tear
And I know that at that moment He was holding my baby near.
I never meant for anyone to suffer or to die,
but humans chose a different path -- to hate, and sin and lie.
I know behind the pearly gates, up with the Holy Trinity
There waits a child lost in life, with open arms to welcome me.
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 too 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 it 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!
