| A MOTHER'S LOVE |
| And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did love; She knew she should find them all again In the fields of light above. O, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day; 'Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flowers away. |
| He Only Took My Hand (author unknown) Last night while I was trying to sleep, Renee's voice I did hear I opened my eyes and looked around, But She did not appear. She said "Mom you've got to listen, You've got to understand God didn't take me from you, Mom He Only Took My Hand When I called out 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 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 is 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." |

| Dear God, Can you hear me? Please, God. Do you hear my cries? The ones that echo pain deep within my mind and heart. She is gone, God. My little girl is dead. And I love her so. I've tried to pray, to seek and to beg Yet still, she is gone. I would have given my life for hers... I do not understand. You see, God, she left so suddenly. Without saying goodbye- or even hello. How can it be that she has changed my life so? How can it be that others think I should forget her so abruptly and go on with my life? How can I pretend that she did not exist? For her life and death has brought me on my knees, to You. And now, I seek the peace, which only Your midst can harbor To ease this overwhelming grief. But, still God, I feel cheated. I feel so very desperate for her presence. I never looked into her eyes I never told her how much she meant to me. I never kissed her gently with the smile of a proud mother, but only with tear burdened eyes. But you can God. Please, please tell her for me. For I know she is in Your care. Tell her that her beauty has left me many priceless gifts. Tell her that I think of her- Everyday, every hour, every moment. Tell her how deeply I love and miss her. Hold her in Your majestic arms, just for me, Lord. Rock her gently and whisper in her ear Tell her that her Mommy aches for her, still and always. For the only strength that remains is the strength which You grant me In knowing that You, and only You, Father Can love her the way that I do... Amen |

| Renee I have watched you grow from my beautiful baby girl, into the beautiful young lady you became. The hardest thing for me to do in my life is letting you go. It's time for you to spread you Angel Wings and Fly. Always and Forever you will be in my heart. I Love You Honey, Mom |
| CANDLES IN THE NIGHT Candles flame in darkness, flicker, steadily glow, bringing light from shadows and help to soothe me so. My daughter, like the candles, gave my life true light. I use the candle's beacon to connect us in the night. As I light the candles, my wish and my request is that she'll see my signal and know my love's expressed. As her light joins my lights, our worlds touch and flame. As I snuff out the candles, I softly say her name. |

OF MY SWEET RENEE |
| I know all arounds it's dark and bleak. You believe my promise I did not keep. You must remember she is my daughter too. And I could see all she must go through. The roads she would travel were so rough, and though you love her, it wouldn't be enough. So she came to me in that early morning hour. For she knew only I had the power,To pull her from that lonely place, And wrap her in my forgiving grace. So blame me now if you must. But know in your heart I am true and just. Don't worry about her, for she is with me. To live in my light for eternity. YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER |

| To All Parents "I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said, "For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she's dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief, You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true. And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected you. Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again?" I fancied that I heard them say: "Dear Lord, Thy will be done! For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may, And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay; But shall the angels call for her much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand." |
