Ryleigh Jade

December 8, 2000
miscarried at 10 weeks


Since the day that I found out that I was pregnant with Ry this song has been very special to me. It was just gaining popularity around that time in October 2000. Each time I heard it tears came to my eyes and I cried through the whole song. Even though we lost Ryleigh in December 2000, and the song isn't quite as appropriate anymore, its still very special to me and I still cry each time I hear it. It was so beautiful to me and in my heart it will always be "Ry's special song".

Arms Wide Open
by Creed

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
Stand in awe, we've created a life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...



This poem was written on *one of those days* in my life. One of those days when I hurt and ache all over and just want to hold my babies in my arms. On this particular day I was desperately missing Ry, her 6 month Heavenly Birthday and her due date were looming in the coming days and these words came from deep inside my heart.

When I see a beautiful butterfly
I see you in it's fluttering wings

When I feel a soft breeze across my face
I feel you in it's warm touch

When I see the morning dew on the grass
I see you in the sunlight sparkling upon it

When I hear the soft whisper of a friend
I hear you in their words, saying "Mommy, I love you"

When I touch the soft petals of a flower
I touch your skin gently and feel you in my arms

I know you're here, sweet Ry
You're everywhere...you're all around me

Thank you, sweet Ry
For making your presence known to me
and for making my world more beautiful



"A bud the Gardner gave us,
a pure and lovely child.
He gave it to our keeping,
to cherish undefiled.
But just as it was opening
to the glory of the day,
down came the Heavenly Gardner,
and took our bud away."

A Whisper from Heaven

I look out at the night sky
Eyes filled with tears
Arms empty
My heart
My soul
Cry out for you

I do not understand
I cannot understand
Why you are gone
Why you were taken

You were needed here
You were wanted here
To fill your mother's heart
To heal your father's heart

I search the heavens
Looking for an answer
To ease the torment
That rages within

My eye is caught
By a crystal light
High above
Shining with a special radiance
Brightning the dark sky

The light grows brighter
And I begin to wonder
If this is a message
If this is a sign

I cannot look away
From that deep and brilliant light
Which bathes my face
In an unearthly glow

I slowly close my eyes
And a vision of you
Appears before me
Your arms held wide
As you stretch your hands toward mine

I reach out
And I can feel your hand
Tight in mine
Telling me
Reminding me
That you will be with me
That you will be part of me
Part of my heart
Part of my soul

Forever

Our last goodbye
Should be as beautiful
Special
And perfect
As you are to me.
Our last goodbye
Will remain inscribed upon my heart
Until the day I die.
