You'll never teach me ABC's
or read to me, and tuck me in
You'll never kiss and make me laugh
with tickles from your spiky chin.

You'll never watch me graduate
For my cap and gown I'll never see
And you'll never hold my babies
(Like you never got to cuddle me...)

You would have been the bestest Daddy
But I had gone before you knew
So instead of watching me, My Daddy
I'll be watching over you...

-Saffron Brice, C 2000



MY CHILD

I love you to the moon and back,
And then way far beyond;
Without you here to give me life,
My heart does not go on.

For you, my child, were life to me,
The song within my soul;
Without you I am empty,
A half that once was whole.

No matter where you are, my child,
Just know you'll always be;
As close as my next heartbeat,
For your heart resides in me.

I'll always be your Mother,
You'll always be my child;
For in my heart, I'll keep your love,
And we'll never say goodbye.

An Angel Never Dies

Don't let them say I wasn't born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I've loved you from start.
Although my body you can't hold,
It doesn't mean I'm gone,
This world was worthy not of me,
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face.
You have my word, I'll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was "meant to be
God doesn't make mistakes,"
But that won't soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do,
Another child you'll bear,
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.
There will come a time, I promise you
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips,
And you'll understand.
Although I've never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn't mean I never "was"
An angel never dies.

We miss you


We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
But all we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your resting place we visit,
And put flowers there with care,
But no one knows the heartache,
As we turn to leave you there.

I Love You

A million times I have needed you,
A million times I have cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You would have never died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a special place,
That noone could ever fill.

Mommy and Daddy


Daddy please don't look so sad,
Momma please don't cry,
Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
And He sings me lullabies.
Please try not to question God,
Don't think He is unkind,
Don't think He sent me to you
And then He changed His mind.
You see I am a Special Child,
And I am needed up above,
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
The product of your love.
I'll always be there with you,
And watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star
That's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost
That mists your windowpane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze
From a gentle wind that blows,
That's me,
I'll be there Planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing
And your heart feels a tug,
That's me
I'll be there giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, Please don't look so sad.
Mommy please don't cry,
I'm in the arms of Jesus
And He sings me lullabies.
