Song is "Remember Me" by Mark Schultz

POETRY

I hope you enjoy the poems I have picked out. I picked each one out, because each one has it's own special meaning to me.

Our Baby Secret

I'm just a little baby
Who didn't quite make it there;
I went straight to be with Jesus,
But I'm waiting for you here.

Don't you fret about me, Mommy,
I'm of all God's lambs most blessed;
I'd have loved to stay here with you,
But the Shepherd knows what's best.
So, dear Mommy, don't you sorrow,
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom,
I went straight to be with Jesus,
From my lovely Mother's womb.

Thank-you for the life you gave me,
It was brief, but don't complain;
I have all of Heaven's glories,
Suffered none of earthling's pain.

Daddy gave me something for you,
It's our secret, Mommy dear,
Pressed it tight against my forehead,
Whispered in my tiny ear.

I'll be waiting for you, Mommy,
You and Daddy, and my sis;
I'll be with you then forever,
Then I'll give you Daddy's kiss.

Oh Mother, my Mother

Oh Mother, my mother
I touch your tears
invisible fingers
soothing your skin
I know you think of me so often
in the day, in the night,
in your dreams
going into an empty nursery
knowing I'll never be there
but I am...in your heart
in your soul, I shall always be
for you gave so unselfishly
of yourself.
Inside of you, you created
such a world for me
a world of laughter, of love
of sadness, of sorrow
every emotion people come to know
you shared with me.
And even though I may never
feel your arms around me
I felt your heart beating,
like a lullaby, singing me to sleep
and your spirit giving me a safe haven
already protecting me
nurturing me
preparing me of things to come.
But sometimes the journey
of life pulls souls apart
and yes, I had to go on
to another place.
I wish I could stay
I wish this was a decision
I could make
and I know you do too.
Know this wherever you are:
I will always remember
that yours was the first love
the first joy, the first soul
I will ever know
you gave me the courage to
go on in my journey
I hope I can do the same
for you
Your heart beat will always
call me to you.

Love,
Your child

Little One

Little one, little one,
Where have you gone?
Your going has darkened
The brightest dawn.
Why did you leave us
So soon, so soon?

Where can we look for you?
Over the moon?
On butterflies' wings?
In the heart of a rose?
Who knows, who knows
Where a little one goes?

Where I have gone,
I am not so small.
My soul is as wide
As the world is tall.

I have gone to answer
The call, the call
Of the One who takes
Care of us all.

Wherever you look,
You will find me there-
In the heart of a rose,
In the heart of a prayer.
On butterflies' wings,
On wings of my own,
To you, I'm gone
But I'm never alone-
I'm over the moon.
I am home.

One Sweet Light

Since all belongs to God
and He reminds us we're His own,
our children are not ours to keep--
they're only here on loan

They are a brilliant spark
from God's eternal light above--
sent here to families God is sure
will shower them with love.

They come to give the world the gifts
that only they can bring...
sweet innocence, accepting faith
and hope in everything.

Yet now and then our hearts are torn
when such a special child
is only here to shine that light on earth
a little while.

Remembering their lives brings joy,
although our hearts still grieve,
there's so much love and comfort
in the memories they leave.

God's holding that sweet child right now
just as He's holding you.
He knows the awful pain you bear--
He lost His dear child, too.

A Prayer

Lord, we know you are always busy,
For you've many things to do
But when sorrow overcomes us
We'll need to talk to you.

For we've lost someone precious
And they're with you there above,
And it's someone that we needed
And it's someone that we love.

We are feeling lost and all alone
And though we do believe
We need you Lord to hold us up,
To help us while we grieve.

Please give us strength and courage, Lord,
To bear what we must bear,
And nudge us when our faith is weak,
To remind us that you are there.

Give us hope for tomorrow
Tell us life will go on,
Show us Lord, that all this darkness
Will be followed by the dawn.

You have led us through so many things
You've pulled us through before,
Hold us up Lord, til we're through this
And we are strong once more.

A Prayer for Zachary from Auntie Tammy

Dear Lord,
Make your face shine upon us and grant us your peace. Comfort us, O Lord, and wrap your loving arms around us and hold us tight. For we cannot understand why you have selected this tiny lamb to take into your arms so young. A precious gift you have given unto us. A beautiful baby boy who has brought such joy in his short time here. We have seen your love surround us through our family and friends.

As our hearts are heavy and our eyes filled with tears, we know you are near and will comfort us in our grieving. Let us remember, O Lord, that in death there is life. Let us rejoice in the fact that he is in your arms now experiencing everlasting life.

We thank you, Lord, for all you have given unto us and we are grateful.

In Thy Name Alone,

Amen

Written by Auntie Tammy

To Zachary Wayne Boss

O Precious little one
With your tiny fingers
hands & toes.
You are so beautiful

Your stay with us
was short,
but O how
you are loved

We will miss you greatly
and hold you
close to our hearts
always

For we know you are in
heaven seated by the
Lord Our Father
Smiling down with your
face so small

May the Lord grant us
comfort and peace
in these sad moments

Love,
Auntie Tammy

~My Mom is a Survivor~

by Kaye Des'Ormeaux

My Mom is a survivor,
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying
When all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night
And go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
But like the sands upon the beach
That never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
Who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise.
But through heaven's open door
I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with my death
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her
Knows it's her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom
Through heaven's open door...
I try to tell her
Angels protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, talk to her...
And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart
That time won't ever heal.

~Don't~

Don't tell me that you understand,
Don't tell me that you know...
Don't tell me that I will surely survive,
How I will surely grow...

Don't tell me this is just a test,
That I am truly blessed...
That I am chosen for the task,
Apart from all the rest...

Don't come at me with answers,
That can only come from me...
Don't tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free...

Don't stand in pious judgement,
Of the bonds that I must untie..
Don't tell me how to suffer,
And don't tell me how to cry...

My life is filled with selfishness,
My pain is all I see...
But I need you, I need your love,
Unconditionally...

Accept me in my up's and down's,
I need someone to share...
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
And say, My Friend, I care...

Angel Friends

A beautiful little angel
showed up to Heaven's gates
Confused and unknowing
the plan that for him awaits.

Then another little angel
walked up and took his hand
and said, "Please don't be sad you left,
you're in the Promised Land."

"I'm glad to be here but
I do not think I was to go,
Perhaps there was a mistake,
for my mommy wanted me so."

The little greeting angel
gave a sweet smile and said,
"My mommy wanted me too,
but to Heaven I was led.

You see, we do not get to choose
when on Earth it's time to go.
He gave us life, love and joy
and a mother's womb to grow.

The Lord still needs new angels
to guide them down on earth.
To watch over, comfort them,
and help them see their worth."

"Is there still a way
that I can sleep in my mommy's bed?"
The greeting angel grinned and said,
"that luxury you'll keep.
I visit my mommy nightly
and softly sing her to sleep."

The little angel replied,
"then I think I'll like it here.
I'll visit my mommy nightly
and weaken her pain and fears.
I love her and will keep her
safe at night and in between,
And let her know
with a sweet memory
that she is still with me."

The greeting angel gave her new friend
a big hug and said,
"Until our mommy's meet us here,
let's be best angel friends."
"Okay," said the new angel,
"that sounds good to me."

Then the angels sat and played
keeping their mommy's in sight,
Humming the tunes to the song
they would sing to their mommy's tonight.

Dearest Mommy and Daddy

When you wonder
the meaning of life and love,

Know that I am with you
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
in the gentle breeze across your cheek.

When you begin to doubt
That you shall never see me again,

Quiet your mind and hear me,
I am in the whisper of the heavens,
Speaking of your love.

When you lose your identity,
When you question who you are,
Where you are going,

Open your heart and see me.
I am the twinkle in the stars,
Smiling down upon you.

Lighting the path for your journey.
When you awaken each morning,
Not remembering your dreams,
But feeling content and serene,

Know that I was with you,
Filling your night with thoughts of me.
When you linger in the remnant pain,
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar,
Think of me,

Know that I am with you,
Touching you through the shared tears
Of a gentle friend easing the pain.

As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky,
As that breathtaking brilliance,
awakens your spirit,

Think of our time together,
All too brief, but ever brilliant.

When you were certain of us, together,
When you were certain of your destiny,

Know that God created that moment in time,
Just for us.

I am with you always

Forever Changed

Can you see the change in me?
It may not be so obvious to you
I participate in family activities.
I attend family reunions..
I help plan holiday meals.
You tell me you're glad to see
that I don't cry anymore.
But I do cry!
When everyone has gone
- when it is safe-
the tears fall.
I cry in privacy so my family won't worry.
I cry until I am exhausted
and can finally sleep.
You tell me you admire my strength
and my positive attitude.
But I am not strong,
I feel that I have lost control;
and I panic
when I think about tomorrow....
next week....
next year.
I go about the routine of my job.
I complete my assigned tasks.
I drink coffee and smile.
You tell me you are glad to see I'm "over"
the death of my loved one.
But I'm not "over" it.
If I get over it,
I will be the same as
before my loved one died.
I will never be the same.

At times I think
I am beginning to heal
, but the pain of losing someone
I loved so much
has left a permanent scar on my heart.
I visit my neighbors.
You tell me that you're glad
to see I'm holding up so well.
But I'm not holding up well.
Sometimes I want to lock the
door and hide from the world.
I spend time with my friends,
I seem calm and collected.
I smile when appropriate.
You tell me
it's good to see me
back to my "old self"
But I will never be back to my "old self".
Death and grief, have touched my life....
and I am changed forever.

I Knew you for a Moment

My Precious Little Baby,
Your face I've never seen,
Your skin I've never touched before,
Nor held you close to me.

You lived inside my body,
But only for a while;
Till Jesus softly whispered,
"Come home my little child."

You must have been a special child;
If God needed you up there,
Because heaven is a better home,
It's beauty can't compare.

So till I get to heaven,
And see your shining face;
Jesus will take care of you,
And love you in my place.

Yes, Jesus loves His little lambs,
They sit around His throne;
So sit on Jesus' lap dear child-
Till Mommy gets called home.

*To Mommy, Love Angel*

I once was gonna be born and this I couldn't wait,
I knew that everyone was expecting me,
I would try not to be late.

But I really wasn't sure what was on the other side,
I tried to accept what was happening but I knew I couldn't hide.
I couldn't help but wonder who my parents were to be,
I knew for sure that no matter what,
they would always love me.

So I thought about it for a while, but I knew I had to leave,
I went on to another place, it is so beautiful it is hard so believe.

I had a job to do, but it wasn't here on earth,
I am so sorry you had to miss it, the day of my birth.
I wanted so bad to stay and be home with you,
but I knew there was something up here that I had to do.

I am now a Guardian Angel and I hope that you are proud,
I watch over you and Daddy, I peek down through the clouds.
I hope you know how much I love you, and how hard it was to go,
I miss you so much everyday, but I am sure you already know.

So please don't ever forget me, as I will do the same,
you know this wasn't your fault, there is no one to blame.
God needed me to be by his side and to take good care of you,
so there is no need to be sad now and no need to be blue.

If you ever get lonely, just look up at the sky,
like if you had a thought of me or just needed to say hi.
I am so happy with the way things are even though it may not seem,
I talk to you in the nighttime, I touch you when you dream.
I want to see the same for you, give a smile for me today,
because I know some day we will meet again in some other sort of way.

I will be up here waiting for you, to open the gates real wide
and help you to come home to heaven, to take a step inside.
I thank you for loving me so much, please believe that this is true,
and there is no one that I could ever love more Mommy, as much as I love you.

*Letter From Heaven*

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving minutes.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

"Hello God"

Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while...
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial...
You see, I can't quite make it
Though a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep,
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God, for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.
So thank you,God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night,God, I love You, too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!

*Only the Best*

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for Anything

I didn't ask for money or a Mansion Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone
Keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second, say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
