~POEMS
FROM THE HEART~
Sweet
baby boy, we know you're gone to a far better place
We
know that Jesus welcomed you and gently kissed your face.
Now
those who held you here on earth must try to understand,
Why
they had to let you go to take Jesus' hand.
With
a heavy heart, those left on earth bow their heads to pray
If
only we could hear you speak I think we would hear you say...
I
love you all so very much just as you all love me
I
see you crying-don't be sad, I'm here on Jesus' knee.
He
told me I can wait with Him until you join us here
Now
I can watch from up above and let you know I'm near.
Maybe
you've been wondering just what I do up here
Close
your eyes and listen, I'll whisper in your ear...
In
heaven, all is soft and warm, the air smells, Oh, so sweet
The
angels make me giggle when their wings tickle my feet!
When
I smile, the angels sigh and gently kiss my cheek
Happy
children use fluffy clouds for games of hide-n-seek.
There
are puppies everywhere, all wiggly, soft and fun
They
lick my face and lay with me, and chase me when I run!
And
if I stumble and fall down, I never need to fear
Because
in heaven, nothing hurts, there are no "owies" here.
Sometimes
I play all by myself and watch you all day long
When
I'm weary, I'm rocked to sleep by the sweet angels song.
Upon
the cloud I lay my head, it's soft as it can be
Those
who welcomed me here above, wrap a blanket of love around me.
The
twinkling stars dance all around and I smile as I close my eyes
For
I know we'll be together soon and then you'll realize.
That
life on earth is a blink of an eye in the big scheme of things
And
I've always been an angel, (While on earth, I hid my wings).

I'll
lend you, for a little time, a child of mine, He said
For
you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead;
It
may be six or seven years--or twenty-two or three--
But
will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He'll
bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief
You'll
have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I
cannot promise he will stay, since all from Earth return;
But
there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've
looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true,
And
from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now
will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain--
Nor
hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?
I
fancied that I heard them say: Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For
all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run;
We'll
shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may.
But
should the angels call for him much sooner than we'd planned,
We'll
bear the bitter grief that comes--and try to understand.

A
million times we've needed you,
A
million times we've cried.
If
love alone could've saved you,
You
never would have died.
In
life we loved you dearly,
In
death we love you still.
In
our hearts you hold a place,
No
one else will ever fill.
It
broke our hearts to lose you,
But
you didn't go alone.
Part
of us went with you,
The
day God took you home.
