To a Child Gone:
I thought I was ahead of you in line.
You would take your turn
After I took mine,
Like we did before.

I guess you don't need new shoes
For starting Heaven,
Or a light left on against the dark
The way I always did.

But I'm so used to parenting.
I wanted just to be there--
To do whatever needed to be done.
But you went first.

And now, my little one,
Suddenly you are my senior.
Morning, I know, will come.
But bring close your light--

This time it is I who fear the night
Do Babies Grow Up In Heaven?

Will I know my baby when we meet again?
Will he have grown up, not be the infant that died in my arms?
Will I recognize him, be able to find him among so many others?
Or will he be a stranger to me, not knowing who I am,
        or me knowing him?

Do babies grow up in heaven?
He never got his first tooth, or said his first words.
No first shoes, no Santa, no first birthday cake.
Will my son still be a baby when we meet again?

Do babies grow up in heaven?
Who sings him precious lullabies?
Who holds him close and kisses him everyday?
Who tells him constantly that they love him?

Do babies grow up in heaven?
When we next meet, will he know me?
Will he want to know me?
Will he be my son who died at three months, or a man, fully grown?
Will I have the joy of being a mother to my son for all eternity?

Do babies grow up in heaven?
Will I be able to hold him, love him, sing lullabies to him?
Will I be able to hold his tiny hand, or will it be a man's hand?
Will I ever have the joy that only holding my son can bring?
I need to know! In heaven, is my baby still a baby?

Angel Whispers

Have you ever truly heard
An Angel whisper in your ear?
Their voices are soft and comforting
Letting you know
you have nothing to fear.

If you listen very carefully
You just might hear their sweet voice
Whispering to you of God's perfect love
And all things that make you rejoice.

They do their very best
To always watch over you
To keep you safe and happy
In everything you do.

So, next time you feel lonely
Kinda scared and feeling blue
Just whisper to your Angel...
... And listen ...
For they'll whisper back to you.

~ And You'll Feel Their Love ~

The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't be seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised... I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

IF WE COULD HAVE YOU BACK

If we could have you back for just
one day,
There would be so many things we
would like to say.
If we could just be with you for
one whole day,
to have you close and know that
you really are okay.

If we had known that you would
be gone forever,
If we had known all those ties
were going to be severed,
If we had known the pain, the loss,
and the ache,
if we had known the difference
without you would make.

In the darkness you slipped away
from us all,
Now it's just your memories
that we have to recall,
They say that parting is such
sweet sorrow,
But it's the longing, the wondering,
and how to cope with tomorrow.

They say that grieving a child is
very worst,
Cause life's plan is that the
parents should go first.
Now all we have are memories,
the good times that we had,
We spend so much time in tears,
and pain and feeling sad.

So if we could have you back for
just one day,
You could let us know to cope until
that judgement day.
When we'll be together as a family
once again,
When we'll all be happy and
free from all this pain.

Oh ! It's so hard to live when
your child has to die,
Then we spend our lifetime trying
to say Goodbye !
Our Little Precious Angel

Our little precious angel,
He could not stay long.
Enough to steal your heart away,
Then force you to be strong.
Enough to show you in a glimpse
How wonderful life can be.
And how no wealth or wordly good
Could take the place of thee.
Little Angel in a cloud
Looking down upon her family
And feeling forever proud.
That for a time, however short,
She had the chance to be
Our little precious angel
So beautiful to see.
There's A Special Angel

There's a special angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I want him
but where God wants him to be.

He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.

He touched the hearts of many
like only an angel can do.
I would have held him every minute
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the heaven up above.
Please take care of my angel
and send him all my love.
