David's Memorial
A MEMORIAL TO MY SON, DAVID
ON
THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ENTRANCE TO
HEAVEN
Davey you were my first-born child,
Your presence brought such joy,
The child I prayed for God to send,
My special little boy.
Your delivery was long and painful,
But that was soon forgotten,
When first they laid you in my arms,
So perfect and "cute as a button".
The years flew by too quickly,
You grew into a man.
Joined the Navy and married,
And traveled all over the land.
And than one day you came home,
You said "because you missed us so".
The real reason was too frightening,
You didn't want us to know.
The Drs. found a problem,
A time bomb of blood vessels in your head.
Something they said you were born with,
Is what the Drs. said.
Still you did not tell us,
You held in all your fear and grief.
You didn't want us to know,
That soon you'd have to leave.
You were the first to come into our lives,
And you were the first to leave.
I can't begin to tell you,
Of the sorrow, pain and grief.
Five long years have passed now,
Since we had to let you go.
The pain is just as awful,
As it was five years ago.
I know that I must let you go,
And you wouldn't want me so sad.
You've found a greater happiness,
Than in this life, you ever had.
But a part of me died with you,
The day you had to go.
And I can't replace the emptiness,
That within my heart continues to grow.
I miss you so my child,
And I know I always will,
Until I hold you in my arms again,
And the hole in my heart will be filled.
Written in memory of your 5th year in Heaven.
Love you forever my child.
Mom

~ Angels In My Heart ~
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angels see us through.
You are one of my Angels.
Perhaps I am one for you.
