| My Son By Heather Pauwels I once had a son who now lives with God above I never got to know him and I never knew his love I once had a son whose heart beat close to mine I never knew his beauty For I never got the time For me son he was taken Before the dawn could break He's now sleeping in my heart where his share of love he takes When I see my other children Who now walk by my side There's a sweet image of my son Mirrored in their eyes When I see a rose bud dropped to the ground to soon It reminds of my baby Who was gone before he bloomed If God should stand before me And grant me one last wish I'd wish my baby in my arms To on his head bestow a kiss I know I have my children Who to me are very dear But there's an empty place within my life for which I shed a tear So I question God each day as to why he couldn't stay Why my son was given to me and so quickly taken away But I know I have to be patient and wait till I go home Then within the grounds of God's heavenly home My son and I will roam |
| Little Angels Author Unknown When God call little children To dwell with him above We mortals sometimes 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 rosebud Before it can grow old God knows how much we need them So he only takes a few To make the land of heaven More beautiful to view Believing this is difficult Still somehow we must try The saddest word that mankind knows Will always be goodbye So when a little child departs We who are left behind Must realize that God loves children and Angels are hard to find |
| He only took My hand Author unknown Last night while I was sleeping 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 understand God didn't take me from you He only took My hand When I cried out in pain that night The instant that I died He reached down and took my hand And pulled me to his side He pulled me up and saved me From the misery and pain My body hurt so badly 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 all go on now Live one day at a time Just understand God did not take me from you He only took my hand |
| God's Promise Late at night while I am sleeping I can hear God's quiet voice speak I can hear the words of comfort Words of love that I do seek My child I will walk with you Hold your hand through painful years I will never leave your side I will wipe away your tears I know the pain you're feeling Know the torment you go through For I have lost my son to death My heart was saddened just like you He sees the rainbows every day Feels the sun shine on his face He only knows a smile now In my glorious peaceful place He has a mansion built for him He runs and has such fun I know you will be joining him when your work on earth is done He's now at peace forever more I will keep him safe from harm He awaits you walking through the gates For you to hold him in your arms |
| Only the Best Author Unknown God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be So he closed his arms around you And whispered "Come with me" Your smile is gone forever Your hand we cannot touch All we have are memories Of the one we love so much He took you to his garden And laid you there to rest God's garden must be beautiful He only takes the Best |
| Stairway If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk all the way to Heaven To bring you home again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why Our hearts ache in sadness And our tears will flow What is meant to lose you No one will ever know |
| Gone Away Don't think of him as gone away His journey's just begun Life holds so many facets Earth is only one Just think of him as resting From the sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days or years Think how he must be wishing That we could know today How nothing but our sadness Can really pass away And think of him as living In the hearts of those he touched Because nothing loved is ever lost And he is loved so much |
