God painted them in bright colors, To light up the sky that you see. He made them bright and shiny, So you would always remember me.  And swim in crystal lakes of blue. I talk with Jesus every day, And ask Him to take care of you. Don't be sad or cry for me, My spirit's happy, living free. No pain, no fear or sickness here, Only love and happiness follow me.  Wake me evey morn. Remind me of the special day, God sent me to be born. He gave me you to love me, For the time He allowed me to stay. And than He called me home again, Where I live with Him today.  And wants you all to know. He's happy here in Heaven, But misses you all so. Soon I will be twenty-four, There is no time up here. But I know you'll all remember me, And my spirit will be near.  I grew up in heaven, who could ask for more. Although I miss you with all my heart, On angels wings I soar. Soon we will all be together, A day is as a thousand years. I'm waiting for our reunion, Sending rainbows to guide you here.  And know that you love me. The time is coming shortly, When we'll all be free. Mom and Dad I love you, Jeff, Nick and Katie too. I couldn't be happier here in heaven, So please don't be so blue.  God sent them as a gift. I whispered my love into their hearts, To give your heart a lift. So every time you hold them, You are holding me. Until we're all together, Oh so happy we will be.  cousins and my friends. I'll be waiting for them in Heaven, When their eternity begins. Poem Written by Cassie's Loving Grandmother In Honor of Cassie's 24th Birthday      Today is my birthday Celebrate my life with you And remember the good times Not the bad and do not be sad Look up towards the sun And catch every ray of light upon your cheek For I am there with you  Be happy for me I lived a short but full happy life I had the pleasure of love And the joy of the family Do not be sad Look up towards the stars And catch each twinkle in your heart For I am there with you  My legacy is not wealth or mighty belongings My legacy is you and your life Spend it wisely and carefully Guard it always Do not be sad Feel the wind on your face and in your hair And know that I loved you For I am there in your laughter And in your heart  Learn to live without me Take my strength with you For you are not alone Do not be sad Feel the rain on your face Feel all life's treasures And know that you are alive! At each step of the way I will help you For I am with you always Until we meet again Today Is My Birthday!! ~ Author Unknown     Please God, make them remember that today is a special birthday. Make them understand that the memories don't go away. Bless them with ears to hear and hearts that care. Enable them to listen while I share. Shelter them that they may never know my pain. Help them to help me know that my child's life was not in vain. Help them to remember, Lord, that I wish my child was here so we could still celebrate. To understand that I still feel the nearness of my child. To see beyond my smile and the words "I'm OK" Please God, let just one remember that TODAY IS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY. ~ Author Unknown  I see you many times in my dreams My most precious Cassie I have you always on my mind Well, that's the way it seems Today is an extra special day It's the day you were born You were the most beautiful child God's gift to us I still remember the twinkle in your little eyes And that cute little smile Your new life gave us all life Oh you were a prize Though now that you are gone We will never ever forget you You're still very much part of our lives We make this wish to you HAPPY BIRTHDAY Our Precious Cassie Written for Cassie by Doyle Alldredge                                |
