THE BEST
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two shining eyes at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
He takes only the best
God knows you had to leave us
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day He took you home
To some you are forgotten
To others just the past
But to us who loved and lost you
Your memory will always last.

TO EVERYONE
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 so pretty here
so fresh, so white 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.

FOOTSTEPS
How very softly
you tip-toed into my world
only a moment you stayed
but what an imprint
your footprints ahve left
upon my heart

TEARS
These tears I cry are not for you, but I
The FIRSTS that will never be
The DREAMS that won't become reality
The ARMS that can't hold you again
The LOVE that will never end
I know that you are safe
from this worlds sorrows
But I have to face
all those tomorrows
These tears I cry are not for you, but I.

REMEMBER
Go ahead and mention my child
The one who died, you know
Don't worry about hurting me further
The depth of my pain doesn't show
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside
Help me heal, by releasing
the tears that I try to hide
I'm hurting when you just keep silent
Pretending she did not exist
I would rather you mention my child
Showing that she has been missed
You ask me how I'm doing
I say, "pretty good," or, "fine"
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.

DREAM
If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know bwcause we've cried
Niether will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you.

What is Birth?
When God sends forth a tiny soul
To learn the ways of earth
A mother's love is waiting here
We call this wonder birth.
When God calls home a little soul
And stills a fleeting breath
A father's love is waiting there
This too is birth, not death.
