| Just Once Just Once, I wished I had heard the words I had to miss him. Just Once I wished I could've seen you... And gave you a Mother's kiss. Just Once I wished I could've seen the look on your face. Or took you in my arms, sweet child, and felt you in my embrace. I wished I could've been there for you when you first let out a cry. Just Once I wished I could've seen you before you soared with angels high. Just Once, I wished I could've told you the stories of the love I shared. Oh how I long to cherish you but there was no time to prepare. Just Once, I wished I hadn't listened when I was told you were gone. For I was then left with empty arms... I didn't want to be alone. I wished I could've heard you laugh... Or even seen you shed a tear. But Just Once, wouldn't have been enough; For I would want you forever right here. ~ Author ~ Kaye Des'Ormeaux Copyright 2001 |
| The Cord We are connected my child and I . An invisible cord not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord that connects us till birth. This cord can't be seen here 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 are 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. A.U. |
| Tears If Tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven, to bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say "Good ~ Bye". You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, and secret tears still fall. What it meant to lose you no one will ever know...... A.U. |
| You Didn't Go Alone You never said, I'm leaving you never said goodbye You were gone before I knew it, and Only God knew Why A million times I needed you A million times I cried If love alone could have saved you, You would have never died in life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place, that no one could ever fill It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, the day God took you home. A.U. |

| Daddy you will never show me how to catch or throw a ball or tie my laces really tight or how to fish (with bait & all!) You'll never teach me ABC's or read to me, and tuck me in You'll never kiss and make me laugh with tickles from your spikey chin. You'll never watch me graduate for my cap and gown I'll never see And you'll never hold my babies ( like you never got to cuddle me... ) You would have been the bestest daddy But I had gone before you knew So instead of watching me, My daddy I'll be watching over you...

| My Little Boy Your Little Boy cries to much, My little Boy makes no sound. Your Little Boy sleeps warm in his crib, My Little Boy lies cold in the ground. Your Little Boy woke up today, My Little Boy never will. Your Little Boy laughs and plays, My Little Boy lies Still. Your Little Boy makes you proud and just as proud as I am cause when your Little Boy is learning to walk My Little Boy can fly. ~ Author Unknown ~ |
