I'm just a little baby girl
Don't fret about me Mommy
Many dwell here where I live
So sweet Mommy don't you cry
Thank you for the life you gave me
Daddy gave me something for you,
I'll be waiting for you Mommy,
Love Sophia-Marie
Yes it is true that I never got to see all that this world holds
It is also true I never got to feel the many things that you take for granted
I never got to hear all the sounds that make most hearts sing
I would never have known the joy of running through a field of flowers
You all may see it as me missing out on all of these things by leaving you so soon
So don't cry for me

Life can hurt us now and then
Temptations weave a tangled web
His love can mend the broken heart
"In God we trust" should be our creed

May the Lord's light shine where'er you roam

Snowflakes falling from high up above,
Sophia-Marie Shay was born on December 16, 2003, the daughter of
Dr. Thanad and Mrs. Kim Shay in Illinois. She has a big brother, Matt,
who is 5 years old. Kim is the daugher of my dear friend, Marlene and
I dedicate this page to the memory of Sophia-Marie, her parents, her
brother and her grandparents. This precious child of God was born
prematurely and weighed under 2 pounds. She has gone to be with
Jesus this day, January 5, 2004 and has her own special pink cloud. 
who didn't quite make it there.
I had to go be with Jesus,
but I'm waiting for you here.
I'm of God's lambs most blest.
I'd had loved to stay there with you,
but the Sheperd knows what's best.
Waited years to enter in.
Stuggled through a world of sorrow,
and their lives were marred with sin.
wipe those tears and chase the gloom,
I got three weeks to stay there with you,
instead of coming here straight from your womb.
I'd have loved to brought it fame.
But if I'd linger in Earths shadows,
might instead have brought it shame.
It's our secret Mommy dear.
He pressed it tight against my forehead,
and whispered in my tiny ear.
Daddy and big brother too,
I'll be waiting for you to hold me,
then Daddy's kiss I'll give to you.
The flowers, trees, grass or a bright sunny day
Barely the smiling faces of my loving family
But in my heart I have seen all of these things, even in my short time
The snow on my face on a cold December day
Finger paints and crayons I will never hold in my hands
But I did feel the loving arms on my mother and father cradling me gently.
The laughter of a loved one or the sweet song of a bird
Songs on the radio and the words "I love you" are to me a mystery
But the soft touch of my mother's hands shouts to me all of this and more.
Never would I roll down the side of a hill to dizzy to stand
Hide and seek, tag and dodge ball I would have missed
In my mind I will do all of these things and more.
But where I am going I will do, see and hear everything you do and more
All the people that have passed before me are waiting to make that come true
I will always think of good things, for in my short time that is all I know.
I am doing all that you have all wished for me,
and from my time here with you
I will know nothing but love and that I will take with me.
And bring the bitter tears
When disappointments cloud our faith
And hope gives way to fears.
And sorrows break our heart,
But God still loves us thru it all
And offers a new start.
And dry the bitter tear.
His grace restores the faith we need
To overcome our fear.
In living day to day,
For only He can meet each need
And take the hurt away.
And its brilliance guide you safely home.
May it steer you on seas forever calm
And always keep you safe from harm.
May it radiate the brightest of beams
To always keep and fulfill your dreams.
May it never flicker when trouble brews
And lead to safe harbors for you to use.
May it shine eternal from high above
And always fill your life with love.
it was snowing, and she was thinking about Sophia-Marie
I know in my heart she's sending me her love.
Falling so gracefully upon my face,
Each one touches my skin and leaves without a trace.
How I wonder just what they could mean...
but, for now I know they are kisses from my angel Sophia-Marie.
How I miss her and think how it would be,
but, for now, until I see her in eternity,
I'll cherish these snowflake kisses from my beautiful Sophia-Marie
