Forget-Me-Not
We are the ones God chose to
take
We are the ones you could
not awake
We are the buds you see on a
tree
We are the ones whose
spirits runs free
We are the bulbs you may
plant in spring
We are the sound when you
hear the birds sing
We are the ones that could
not cry
We are the ones he chose to
die
Our tears are the tips of
the morning dew
We are the ones that you
never knew
We are the rain that's left
on the grass
The test for life we did not
pass
We are the bees you hear and
hum
We had no voice to call you
mum
We are the forest that
fragrance the wood
To be with you if only we
could
We are the sun, the clouds,
the moon
We are the blooms that went
too soon
We are the stars that shine
above
We are the ones you could
not love
Forget-me-not's that's what
we are
We grow in your garden not
very far
We are a heart broken in two
We are the ones who belong
to you
We are the ones you could
not share
We are the empty space you
see there
So really you see in every
way
Forget me not for every day

I'm going to tell you
something
I hope you'll never have to
know.
I'll tell you how a heart
can break
And tears can constant flow.
I lost my baby girl you see,
An angel in my eyes
God chose to take her hand
one day
And led her to the skies.
But please do not forget my
child
She was a person too
And forever she will live
Inside of me and you.
So, please don't ever tell
me
That time will heal my pain
Because not even time
Can bring her back again.
Just tell me she is happy
In that land way up above
She's snuggled in an angels
wings
All wrapped in Mummy's love.

An
Angel Never Dies.
Don’t let them say I wasn’t
born,
That something stopped my
heart
I felt each tender squeeze
you gave,
I’ve loved you from the
start.
Although my body you can’t
hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone
This world was worthy, not
of me
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns
your soul,
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I’ll fill
your arms,
Someday we will embrace.
You’ll hear that it was
meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes
But that wont soften your
worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.
I’m watching over all you
do,
Another child you’ll bear
Believe me when I say to
you,
That I am always there.
There will come a time, I
promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my
lips
And then you’ll understand.
Although I’ve never breathed
your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn’t mean I never
was,
An Angel never dies.

Jessica
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
a promise of life, now
broken.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
never to be woken.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
but now our dreams are
shattered.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
but she was real, she
mattered.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
innocent, untouched,
unknowing.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
gold light surrounds her,
glowing.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams
through wind and rain,
unaffected.
My baby sleeps in a field of
dreams,
an angel now, protected.
I've held an angel in my
arms.
Lord, how blessed am I?
To hold this angel in my
arms,
My baby had to die.
Sweet Dreams, Little Kitten.

WHAT
MAKES A MOTHER?
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 the 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 deep breath and
cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.
"I wish that I could show
you,
What your child is doing
today.
If you could see your child
smile,
With all the 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 lessons very
quick,
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much,
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's 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
ones,
Your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in
My home,
And this is where they'll
stay.
They'll wait for you with
Me,
Until your lesson's 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 in your
heart
It's the love you had so
much of
Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not
realize,
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me
one day
And know that you're the
best mom!"

When God calls little
children to dwell with Him
above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
with the death of one small
child,
Who does so much to make our
world, seem wonderful and
mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need
them, and so He takes but
few,
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind
knows will always be "good
bye".
So when a little child
departs, we who are left
behind,
Must realize God loves
children, Angels are hard to
find.

Precious Child Remembered
We know that you are hurting
We know just how you feel.
The pain deep inside your
heart
You feel it can't be real.
We
know what's going through
your mind,
Thoughts that cloud it
through the day.
We're on the road you're
travelling now.
It can be handled, there's a
way.
Don't
fight the tears you're
feeling,
You must just let them flow.
Speak of your child daily
To many people that you
know.
Find
others who can understand
They'll hold you as you cry.
The questions, we have all
asked,
All the how's and every why.
We
will always think of our
child,
No one will have to say a
word.
They will remain in our
hearts
Our precious child
remembered.

Ask My
Mum How She Is...
My Mum, she tells a
lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she
dies,
She'll tell a whole lot
more.
Ask my Mum how she is
And because she can't
explain,
She will tell a little
lie
Because she can't
describe the pain.
Ask my Mum how she is,
She'll say "I'm
alright."
If that's the truth,
then tell me,
why does she cry each
night ?
Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so
well.
She didn't have a choice
you see,
Nor the strength to
yell.
Ask my Mum how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm
coping."
For God's sake Mum, just
tell the truth,
Just say your heart is
broken.
She'll love me all her
life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how
she is,
She'll lie and say she's
fine.
I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug her from
here.
If she lies to you don't
listen,
Hug her and hold her
near.
On the day we meet
again,
We'll smile and I'll be
bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky
to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you
told!"

We Know You'r Only Sleeping.
Many hearts were broken the
hour you left our lifes,
No time to get to know you
more, no time for our
goodbyes.
You were our ray of
sunshine,our laughter and
our joy, We were so blessed
to have you, you were our
baby boy.
I dont believe what many
say, that you are up in
heaven,
That you were chosen to be a
rose and to God you were
then given.
That wouldnt make you happy
as you watch us from above,
Seeing us broken hearted,
without the one we love.
So, the thing that keeps us
going that gives us strength
to cope,
Is the promise in the bible
of the resurrection hope.
At Revelation 21 verses
three and four,
It tells us of Gods promise
when death will be no more.
Then He'll make the earth a
paradise and welcome back
the dead,
Where we'll hold you in our
arms once more with nothing
else to dread. LOVE YOU
DAVEY XXX
If you ask me how I am
today,
I’ll smile and say I’m fine.
You’ll smile then walk away
from me
Saying ‘I told you it takes
time’
Time is something I have
got
As I wander place to place
As I look around the people
I see
Searching for my babies
face.
I’m not really sure where
time goes,
But I just cry, ignore the
phone.
I sit alone, I cry, I shake
Just thinking of what
should’ve been
I’m hearing someone scream
It’s a sound of fear, pain
and hurt
As I look around to help
that soul
I realise that soul is me.
I break down and fall to my
knees
Why did she have to go from
me?
Life is all why’s if’s and
maybe
So when you ask me how I
feel today
Don’t be fooled by the words
I give
Ask to talk about my baby
girl,
I’ll tell you she is
beautiful
A real fighter like her mum
I’ll tell you how she
looked at me
While we waited for the sun
I’ll tell you how my heart
broke the day
She had to leave us and was
gone
Then let me cry and break
down
Then just hold me till I’m
done.
My
Precious One...
Where did you go my precious
one, why did you leave so soon ?
I thought I took great care of
you whilst you grew in my womb.
I tried to be so careful, I
wanted you so much,
To watch my tummy grow and grow
then finally feel your touch.
To smell your newborn baby's
scent and hold your tiny hand,
To rock you tightly in my arms
and tell you all I'd planned.
There was so much we had to do,
much love I had to give,
I'm sure that you'd have loved
me to, if only you had lived.
Oh precious one, now you're not
here, how can I carry on ?
When will the darkness fade
away, when will I see the sun ?
My precious little baby, mummy's
precious little one....

A Message from Our Angels
We were your special gifts that
were sent from Heaven above
Your special ones that were to
bring so much love;
But who would have known, our
time would be so short
And leave you all, with such
pain in you hearts.
The choice was made, and your
children were sent
But in what seems like a moment,
we, your angels went;
Leaving you treasured memories,
and yet in so much pain
A void, an abyss, your tears
still flowing like rain!
But………
Wait there for a moment, we wish
you could because
And see the wonderful thing,
which has happened to us,
The Lord was waiting, with His
gates open to Heaven
And with other baby Angels,
helped bring us within;
Such beauty in this place, we
cannot describe
This home for us, from the
moment we died!
We’re here waiting for you, so
dry up your tears
Just go on with your lives, all
free from fears,
Know that we will be with you to
help and to guide
And we’ll never desert you;
we’ll be there by your side;
If you speak to us daily, from
inside your heart
And let us be assured, we’re not
really apart!

from God’ (Anon)
