DEAR MOMMY AND DADDY

I just wanted to let you know that I made it home.
The journey wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take too long.
Everything is pretty here, so white, so fresh and new.
I wish that you could close your eyes, and that you could see it, too.
Please try not to be sad for me... try to understand.
God is taking care of me, I'm in the shelter of his hands.
Here there is no sadness, no sorrow and no pain.
Here there is no crying, and no hurt for us again.
Here it is so peaceful, when all the angels sing.
I really have to go now, I've just got to try my wings.

Little Angels

When God calls little children to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love.
For no heartache compares with the death of a 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 "goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.

Two Years

Two years ago you were born,
Two years ago the Lord took you home,
Our time together was short little one,
But in our hearts you live on.

Two years ago, we weren't given tomorrow,
With you we only had today,
Tears of joy turned to sorrow,
Because our precious baby you couldn't

stay. Two years ago we were blessed with you,
But you were to precious for this world,
Letting you go was the hardest thing for us to do,
It broke our hearts precious baby girl.

Two years ago we were blessed by your gentle touch,
And then you quietly slipped away,
Our precious daughter you are loved so much,
Our Little Angel you would have been two years old today.
Happy Birthday Kaitlin.

TO THE CHILD IN MY HEART

Precious, tiny, sweet little one, you will always be to me,
So perfect, pure and innocent, just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and your life, and all that it would be,
We waited and longed for you to come, and join our family.
We never had the chance to play, to laugh, to rock, to wiggle,
We long to hold you, touch you now, and listen to your giggle.
I'll always be your mommy, he'll always be your dad.
They'll always be your siblings, you will always be our child.
The child that we had.
But now you're gone... but yet you're here.
We'll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy, there's love in every tear.
Just know our loves goes deep and strong.
We'll forget you never-
The child we had, but never had, and yet will have forever.
