This day will be a celebration
of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
with great love and many tears.
But to only feel pain and sorrow
would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
more than words could say.
You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
all the ways you’ve touched
our world and our hearts
and everyone who knew you
since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an angel
with your heavenly Father above,
we see not only what we’ve lost
but our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
in our life and a hole in our
hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.
As this day is upon us,
oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
we will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.
YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED
You will be remembered when the flowers bloom in spring
And in the summertime remembered
In the fun that summer brings
You will be remembered
When fall brings leaves of gold
In the wintertime,remembered,in the stories that are told
And you will be remembered,each day right from the start
For the memories that we once shared
Forever live within my heart
The sky is filled with Angels
With puffy lacy wings
The remnants of God's beauty
With treasures they now bring
Each one of them a Guardian
That travels in the sky
To watch throughout eternity
Their parents from on high
Smiles that come from Angels
They fall like crystal rain
Eases earthly burdens
Lifting all life's pain
Halos so astounding
That glitter gold each day
Following their loved ones
In such a perfect way
Wings in gentle breezes
That fall from up above
Kissing every parent
With everlasting love
Angels soar through heaven
With everlasting light
Looking down from heaven
Saying their "goodnights"
Kissing all who loved them
So gently on the face
This life's tender mercy
Each parent can embrace
Wings and shiny halos
Travel from on high
Surrounding all their loved ones
They never say good-bye.
My Child
I loved you for so many months
Before you were even born,
I talked and sang and read to you
And kept you safe and warm.
And when you opened first your eyes
And looked deeply into my soul,
My heart grew full, and with great relief,
I saw that you were whole.
Your tiny little bitsy fist,
Wrapped tight around my thumb,
The trust you placed upon me,
Struck me completely dumb.
How awesome was your little smile
That spoke of your dreams to me,
So trusting as you slowly nursed,
So dependant, relaxed and free.
Committed I myself to you,
As protector, friend and guide,
And watched you grow, a tender shoot,
Close ever by my side.
How shocked was I when the death angel came
And bore you to heaven’s home,
To fill a spot in God’s own heart,
And with Jesus talk and roam.
Please know, my child, how my heart breaks
That you have gone away;
Yet the love you opened up to me
Will last through judgment day.
Amid my grief my life goes on;
I learned so much from you:
How to trust my Heavenly Father
In everything I do.
Some great day when my life is done,
According to God’s plan;
I’ll bring my broken heart to you
And it will be whole again.
I thank my Lord for lending you,
In the way He did, to me.
For He used you as a building block
To my own eternity.
