PoemsDedicated to the mommys and the daddys... Inspiration...  This poem was written for me by my auntie Diane ... Dear Marcie, I am so sorry you have had such a great loss, It's a great burden to carry at such a high cost. I know you have a great, great sorrow, It will grow less with each tomorrow. God looked down on earth and saw, A wee little babe He needed to call. Tho, I know it is really hard to face, Your wee one is in a much better place. I pray for him each and every night, I know that in Heaven he is alright. God will take really good care of him, Someday you will be together again. Now he is an angel watching over you, He will be by your side always too! So weep no more by dear niece, Know your wee babe is with God at Peace. Love You, Diane 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 still I 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! No longer can I touch her face or hold her hand. I'm angry Lord, I'm missing her. I'm drowning in my sorrow. Please help to heal my yesterday and face each new tomorrow. It was then I heard her gentle voice and felt her presence near. How I wanted so to hold her as I cried another tear. She said, "Mom, I'm an angel now, my spirit is 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 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." She said, "Mom, I'm an angel now, my spirit is free. I'm an angel now in Heaven ~ no need to cry for me." ~Author Unknown~ I'M FREE Author Unknown Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. Here’s some things I’d like to say, but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay. I’m writing this from Heaven where I dwell with God above, where there’s no more tears, or sadness, there is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I am out of sight. Remember that I’m with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said "I welcome you"! It’s good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on. I need you here so badly, as part of My big plan. There is so much we have to do to help our mortal man. Then God gave me a list of things, he wished for me to do. And foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you. I will always be beside you every day and week and year. And when your sad, I’m standing there to wipe away the tear. And when you lie in bed at night the day’s chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years, because you’re only human they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain. Remember, there would be no flowers unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand. But one thing is for certain though my life on Earth is over, I am closer to you now than I ever was before. And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best. I’m still not far away from you, I’m just beyond the crest. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, but together we can do it taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too, that as you gave unto the world, so the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain. Then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain. And now I am contented that my life. . . it was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet someone who is down and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go When you are walking down the street, and I am on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when you feel the gentle breeze as the wind upon your face, that’s me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace. And when it’s time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember. . . you’re not going, you are coming here to me. And I will always love you, from that land way up above, We’ll be in touch again soon. PS: God sends His love. --Author Unknown --Author Unknown Late at night when I am sleeping, I can hear God's quiet voice speak. I can hear the words of comfort, Words of love that I do seek. My child, I will walk with you, Hold your hand through painful years. I will never leave your side, I will wipe away all of your tears. I feel the pain you're feeling, Know the torment you go through. For I, have lost my son to death, My heart was saddened, just like you. But my son rose to eternal life, Your child has done the same. He was given a new body, He even has a different name. He sees the rainbow every day, Feels the sun shine on his face. He only knows a smile now, In My glorious, peaceful place. He has mansions built for him, He runs and has such fun! I know you will be joining him, When your work on earth is done. He's now at peace forever more, I will keep him safe from any harms. He awaits you walking through the gates, For you to hold him in your arms. --Darlene Browning Dear Mommy, 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 so 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 I'll never hurt 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! -- by Edgar Guest "I'll lend you for a little time a child of Mine," He said. "For you to love him while he lives and mourn for when I come to claim him. It may be six or eight years or twenty-two or three, but will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from Earth return, but there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked this 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 him all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate Me, when I come to call to take him 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 him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for him, sooner than we've planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."
