God had Other plans
God had other plans for you
I guess this worlds too mean
He took you to a better place
Where the grass is always green.
God had other plans for you
Little Angel, Spread your wings
protect those you're supposed to
and always do nice things.
God had other plans for you
All the way up in Heaven
I'm just a little sad
I'll never to teach you to count to seven.
God had other plans for you
I know your in good care
After all his son was our savior
head upturned, I sit and stare.
God had other plans for you
his angels will keep you well
You'll never have to know sickness
or this life we sometimes call hell.
God had other plans for you
Way above the stars
in time the battle will stop
bandage the open scars.
God had other plans for you
he'll have you wait for me.
how ever long that will take
than I can rock you on my knee
God had other plans for you
so I couldnt tell you Goodbye
You were gone before "Hello"
No answer for the why.
This doesnt mean will forget you now,
I promise you that we wont.
Promise me you won't forget us
Just please baby dont.
My Precious little Matthew
always be that perfect Angel,
the angel that I love.
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,
others for a day.
ANd some I send to feel your womb
but there's no need to stay.
I dont understand this God,
I want my baby here.
He took a deep 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
on her pillows where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear,
mommy dont be sad today
I'm your baby and I am 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.
Its the feelings in your heart.
It's the love you have so much of
right from the start.
Though some on earth may not realize
that you are a Mother
until their time is done,
they'll be up here with me one day
and know your the best one."

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
but he did not appear.
He said "Mom, you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didnt take me from you, mom
he only took my hand.
When I call out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me by his side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so
And I'll always be nearby.
My Body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.
An emptyness that I now feel,
since you left, I love you still.
For you the pictures I he drawn,
but my pain goes on and on.
I miss you now, but your with God.
And I know your near.
Listen as I pray at night.
for you will always hear.
If I had one wish come true.
My only wish would be for you.
To hold you in my arms once more,
Tell you I love you, forever and more.
And now my son if I may near,
I'm saying that I love you dear
with all my loving heart,
I'll never forget you,
I loved you from the start.

I wanted so much more for you, my sweet little baby.
I wanted to change your diapers, not my life.
I wanted to nurse you, not my grief.
I wanted to dress you up, not bury you down.
I wanted to hear the sounds of you crying for me at night,
not my own sounds of crying for you.
I wanted to see you grow, not the grass on your grave.
I wanted to see you sleep in the crib, not in the casket.
I wanted to give you life, not death.
I wanted to show you off, not alone go on.
I wanted to comb your fuzzy hair, not save a lock of it.
I wanted to pick up after you, not put down my dreams for you.
I wanted to hold you in my arms, not this doll.
I wanted to walk you late at night, not my fears.
I wanted so much for you,
my newly born, newly gone----Child.
I wanted so much more
I wanted so much
I wanted
I wanted you.
