WHY TAKE MINE ?
With so many babies born into poverty
CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
DO BABY’S GROW UP IN HEAVEN
Will i know my baby when we meet again?
HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND
Last night while i was sleeping
I MISS THE WAY
I miss the way your eyes
DEAR FRIEND
Dear friend, today you broke my heart
OUR SPECIAL ANGEL
Everyone has an angel
CLOUDLESS SKIES
How cloudless the skies are today
SO VERY FAR AWAY
You’re so very far away
IN MEMORY OF
I hold you in my dreams at night
POETRY PAGE 7
So many babies unwanted and unloved
Why take mine?
With so many babies born to drug addicts
So many abused or abandoned
Why take mine?
With so many babies born to teenagers
So many born unplanned or to other families
Why take mine?
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars reflecting in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, Please wipe away that tear,
For i am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sound of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here .
I have no words to tell you, the joy there voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, i see the pain inside your heart,
But i am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
I’ve sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above,
It’s a gift more precios than pure gold, it’s a gift of undying love.
So be happy for me loved ones, you know i hold you dear,
And be glad i’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
Will he have grown up, not to be the infant that died in my arms?
Will i recognize him, be able to find him among so many others?
Or will he be a stranger to me, not knowing who i am,
Or me knowing him?
Do baby’s grow up in heaven?
He never got his first tooth, or said his first words.
No shoes, no santa, no first birthday cake.
Will my son still be a baby when we meet again?
Do baby’s grow up in heaven?
Who sings him precious lullabyes?
Who holds him close and kisses him everyday?
Who tells him constantly that they love him?
Do baby’s grow up in heaven?
When we next meet, will he know me?
Will he want to know me?
Will he be my son who died as a baby,
Or a man fully grown?
Will i have the joy of being a mother to my son for all eternity?
Do baby’s grow up in heaven?
Will i be able to hold him, love him, sing lullabies to him?
Will i be able to hold his tiny hand, or will it be a mans hand?
Will i ever have the joy that only holding my son can bring?
In heaven is my baby still a baby?
Someone tell me, I need to know.
My son’s voice i did hear
I opened my eye’s and looked around
But he did not appear.
He said “Mum you’ve got to listen,
You’ve got to understand.
God didn’t take me from you Mum
He only took my hand.
When i called out in pain that day
The instant that i died
He reached down and took my hand
And pulled me to his side
He pulled me up and saved me
From the hurt and pain
My heart was broken so badly inside
I could never be the same
My search is really over now
I’ve found happiness within
All the answers to my dreams
And all that might have been
I love you and miss you so
And i’ll always be nearby
My body’s gone forever
But my spirit will never die!
And so you must go on now
Live one day at a time
Just understand-
God did not take me from you
He only took my hand”
Would have sparkled like the sun.
I miss the way your smile
Would have brightened up the room.
I miss the way your laugh
Would have danced along the wall.
I miss the way your voice
Would have always touched my soul.
I miss the way your touch
Would have sweetened up the day.
I miss the way your look
Would have always made me smile.
I miss the way your presence
Would have made my world complete.
In a place that was already broken
You did it with your thoughtless words
That should not have been spoken
You know that i am grieving
That my pain is deepn and real
Your hurtful words pierced like a knife
How do you think i feel?
You may not suffer from my loss
Or share this lonely grief
But i’m mourning for my baby
Who’s life was much to brief
I’m sure you don’t know how i feel
I don’t expect you to
Don’t ask me to get over it
That’s something i can’t do
Without grief there’s no healing
It’s a journey i must make
It’s not the path that i would choose
But one i’m forced to take
No matter how you choose to see
What i am going through
I need compassion and support
I’d do the same for you.
To guide us through our days
To watch over us always
In so many different ways
Our family has it’s own
Special angel from above
Our beautiful son
Who looks on us with love
He’s helping us accept
The pain we’re going through
He wants us all to go on
To be as happy as we can
When God took him to heaven
We could only cry
We questioned his mercy
Why did he let him die
Just for our little angel
We’ll all go on with living
For we share a special bond
The love Allan keeps on giving
More beauty than this you can’t find
But lonliness fills my body
And you... you fill my mind
My arms they ache to hopld you
My heart... to love at will
And this fire that burns within me
It feels as if it could kill
Let me dream a little longer
Warm sweet dreams of you
Say maybe someday
You’ll come home to me
And all my dreams come true
And i need you everyday
Even though we’re far apart
I’ll keep your memory in my heart
I work and work in everyway
Filling the void in everyday
Fleeting thoughts of you
Make me wonder what to do
The thoughts of you, make me smile
And help me to go the extra mile
I have a choice to stick or go
And yet in my heart i already know
I’ll sit and wait and hope and pray
And never give up on that day
When you and i will be together
Everyday and forever
I call you in the dawn
And yet i have to tell myself
That you are really gone
That you are gone beyond recall
Forever and a day
And there is nothing i can do
Or nothing i can say
It seems that you are always in
My heart and in my mind
No, there is nothing i can say
Except a loving prayer
That God will bless you dearest one
And keep you in his care
And in my silent sorrow
There is nothing i can do
Except to live a better life
In memory of you
