| Untitled Author Unknown If I could have a lifetime wish, A dream that would come true, I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you. A thousand words can't bring you back; I know because I've tried. And neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried. You left behind a broken heart And happy memories too. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. |

| I'm An Angel Now Author Unknown One night I cried to Jesus as I sat beneath the tree, I looked into the open sky and hoped he'd answer me. I'm lost, dear Lord, I've traveled far but I still seem to roam, Please light the way and lead me, Lord; I need to get back home. I told him of my burdens and of the sadness in my heart, That from his gracious love I'd never felt so far apart. Why did you take my child, Lord? I cannot understand! I'm angry, Lord, I'm missing him. I'm drowning in my sorrow, Please help to heal my yesterday and face each new tomorrow. It was then I heard his gentle voice and felt his presence near, How I wanted to hold him as I cried another tear. He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now, my spirit will be free, I'm an angel now in Heaven so please don't cry for me. I was chosen by our Lord above and now I'm in his care, When you need me look inside your heart, I promise to be there. No one can ever take away our bond with one another, For I'll always be your precious child as you will always be my mother. So if you cannot find your way or the road to home seems far, Just look up to the heavens and I'll be your guiding star." He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now, my spirit will be free, I'm an angel now in heaven, no need to cry for me." |

| I Thought of You Today Author: Kari Wease Today as I walked I thought of you I wondered if you were thinking of me too I thought of how I wished you were here with me But I know where you are, you are playing safely Playing with all of your angel friends Having so much fun until I'm with you again Someday, baby, we'll be together and on that some day we will play forever I'll push you in your favorite swing and with your beautiful voice you'll sing We can sing songs that you've learned up there and tell stories that we haven't yet shared Someday I will get to hold you tight and rock you to sleep until the next morning's light For now, I can only think and dream of you and hope that you are thinking of me too. |

| My Parents are Survivors Author: Kaye Des'ormeaux My parents are survivors, or so I've heard it said. But I can hear them crying at night when all others are in bed. I watch them lay awake at night and go to hold their hand. They don't know I'm with them to help them understand. But like the sands on the beach that never wash away I watch over my surviving parents, who think of me each day. They wear a smile for others, a smile of disguise! But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from their eyes. My parents try to cope with death to keep my memory alive But anyone who knows them knows it is their way to survive. As I watch over my surviving parents through Heaven's open door, I try to tell them that angels protect me forevermore. I know that doesn't help them or ease the burden that they bear, So if you get a chance, go visit them and show them that you care. For no matter what they say, no matter what they feel, My surviving parents have broken hearts that time won't ever heal. |

| Untitled Author Unknown I thought of you and 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; and others for a day And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this, God, I want my baby here He took a 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 quickly, 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 pillow is where I lay. I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek; and whisper in her ear Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here." So, you see, my dear sweet one, your children are okay 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 the day that you come home, they'll be at the gates for you. So, now you see what makes a Mother, it's the feeling from your heart It's the love you had so much of, right from the very start. Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother. They'll be up here with me one day and you know you're the best one. |

| To My Dearest Family Author Unknown Where I dwell, there is no pain There is no cold, no dreary rain I find a rainbow everyday And touch the sun's most warming rays. I know you wish that I were there So you could hug and hold me near... So you could see my bright eyes shine... YET I AM YOURS and YOU ARE MINE! You ponder the years that will come and go... The little boy you won't watch grow But treasure my safetly within your hearts... For there we shall not part. I gaze on you from heaven above I sense your thoughts and feel your love. Pleases realize...Here, I am at peace. I pray some of your pain may cease. God did not create a "Never" Hence once again, we'll be together Until such time that we shall meet, In altered words, may I repeat: I AM SAFE...I AM WITH YOU...I LOVE YOU Your Angel, Seth |

| Untitled Author Unknown We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name; All we have now are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part; God has you in his keep, we have you in our heart. It broke our heart to lose you. But you didn't go alone, For a part of us went with you....the day God took you home. |
