Prayers & Poems
Heaven’s Gift
God once gave me a gift
A precious baby boy, to call my own
Hair of blonde, Eyes of blue
A smile so sweet, it would melt your heart
This baby came with so much pain
Then on a beautiful spring day
two angels came, to take my baby boy home
As we held you in our arms, singing Jesus loves me
You went to heaven
Grandpa Charlie on your right,
Grandpa Tom on the left
For I will not be saddened, my days will go on
my nights will be lonely
But as I look to the heaven’s at night
I know someday, I will be with you
For now sweet baby, run with the angels
And do all the wonderful things
you could not do here on earth
and know when my time comes to come home
I will hold you in my arms again
Samuel, we will always love you my sweet baby
boy I thank you for holding up the fight as long
as you did.
Love mommy and daddy
Rest In Peace

His Memory
As I sit alone in your room
After you have gone
So far from me, so far from my arms
I stand at your crib
I run my fingers across where your head
Once rested at night to sleep
Never again will I say goodnight
Never again will I say I love you
Never again will I be able to hold you
As I sit alone in your room
After you have gone
So far from me, so far from my arms
I hold your little blankie in my hand
I run my fingers across the teddy bear
That was bigger than you
Never again will I say goodnight
Never again will I say I love you
Never again will I be able to hold you
As I sit alone in your room
After you have gone
So far from me, so far from my arms
I hold your first outfit so close to my heart
I run it across my cheek, feeling the softness
That once kept you warm
Never again will I say goodnight
Never again will I say I love you
Never again will I be able to hold you
As I stand at your grave side
After you have gone
So far from me, so far from my arms
I shed a tear, a tear that is the beginning of many
I will never again
Say goodnight
Say I love you
Or ever be able to hold you

You Tried
You stood at my child's side
You wiped away a tear that he shed
You gave him life that I could not give
You worked your magic
So that maybe I could spend another
Minute with him
I know in your own way
You will grieve his loss
But please remember you tried
You spent your ever energy
Trying to save him, but he died
But still I know you tried
I saw you shed a tear with me
When you told me he had died
Thank you I say, Thank you
Thank you for not hiding your pain
Thank your for not letting my child's
Life be in vain
Thank you because you tried
You gave me hope
A hope to go on
To spread his name from sea to sea
To let others know, there is hope
You gave me hope
A hope to fing a cure
Thank you, Thank you I say

To all the wonderful doctors and nurses who treated Samuel
during his long hospital stay and during his clinical visits.
You are greatly appreciated in all you do, the lives you save
the kids you heal.
With out you we would not have had the precious five months of
joy, and love that we shared with our son, may you someday feel
the joys of being a parent or if you are a parent go home and
give your little ones a extra special hug, and know that deep
in your heart that there is a joy that each and every one of you
gave to us.
The time we spent with Samuel will forever be in our hearts, and
the hearts of those around us. His smile I will see in the
clouds and his tears in the rain.
Little Blue Box
Up high on a shelf
Sits my dreams and hopes
A little blue box
With a little blue ribbon
I open one side, then carefully
Open the other
Inside my little blue box
Is bitter sweet memories
Of perfect little dreams
I shall forever hold dear
A whisp of light baby’s blonde hair
A copy of little footprints
That tap ever so slightly in my dreams
A little golden binkie so fit for a king
Carefully I close my
Little blue box
Back up on a shelf until the
Next time I see the little boy
Crying out in my dreams

Taken To Soon
Fresh snow on a hard ground, barren trees all around
A cold stone is all that is left,
of my hopes and my dreams
Tomorrow you would be saying ma’ma
Today you would be learning to walk
One will never know
For you were taken to soon
There will be no first drive, first date
Your prom i’ll never see, no wedding
And sure as a beautiful baby of
yours to call your own
Instead all I have is memories,
I have a cold stone in the ground
With your precious name written

Beloved Son
So remember me until we have met again
Remember my love for you, our long nights
Remember my hopes and wishes
Love mommy forever

Dear Jesus
As I down to sleep
I dream of the heavens
I see a little boy with eyes of blue
With golden hair and angels wings
Dear Child
You gave that little boy life
Dear Jesus
That little boy sure does look fimiliar
Dear Child
You nutured that little boy and showed him love on earth
Dear Jesus
Is that my little boy with such a sweet smile
Dear Child
Yes Child that is your little boy, the one you gave to the father so unselfishly
Dear Jesus
He looks so happy, he's not in pain
Dear Child
That is because in heaven he can not feel the pains of the earth
Dear Jesus
Where are all the tubes and wires, doesn't he need them anymore
Dear Child
In heaven there is no sickness
Dear Jesus
He is running, that can't be good, he'll become blue
Dear Child
When he came to heaven, he came with a new heart
Dear Jesus
You say its ok
Dear Child
Yes in heaven its ok, so rest your wrery head,
and dry your tears and no that he is ok..
