Happy Father's Day by Laurie Kat's Mommy

Here I sit and stare....
out the window of our home..,
On this Fathers day...
Feeling so very alone.

Oh, how I wish....
My child was still here....
Bringing me a Fathers day gift...
Even an ugly tie would be so nice this year.

But...my child has gone on to Heaven...
And is playing on streets of gold...
Listening to Jesus tell stories...
of so many years ago.

And today I find myself thinking...
about the meaning of a gift....
For a gift is something given to you...
that makes you smile and gives you a lift.

But...many times we receive a gift....
And then lose it or misplace it some day...
But we never forget the gift...
For the memories remain tucked away.

I think I have concluded...
On this Fathers day....
That since a gift is yours once given...
It can never be taken away.

And the most precious gift...that I was given....
To me ...so many years ago....
Was the day my child entered this world....
And touched my life, heart, and soul.

So on this Fathers day....
I thank the Lord for the most precious gift of mine....
My child in Heaven...treasured times and memories....
That will remain with me...my entire lifetime.

For a Gift is a gift...
And my most precious gift....remains in my heart...
And just then...a rainbow appears out my window....
reminding me....that my gift and heaven are not so far.

Angel Embrace by Karen Pelletier ( Kristy Pelletier's mom)

I leave this tribute to your mommy little Caleb in beautiful memory of you. I love you both so much. Auntie Karen



There are angels who sit quietly
and whisper when we need comfort.
There are those who breathe life into us when we are breathless.


There are angels who fill us with gracious support when our souls become fragile,
and those who kiss us goodnight for a peaceful slumber.


There are angels that touch us with sacred laughter when tears become a burden.
There are those who wrap their wings around us and rock us until the ache in our heart disappears.


There are angels that can send us flying with wonder when our hope begins to fade,
and those who devote everything to give us everlasting peace in Heaven.

Ashley's Poem by Kris Stuart

I found this poem when going through Ashley's things. She wrote it for her English class in her Junior Year of High School.

Heaven

I think my idea of heaven...
Is calm, peaceful and serene...
Somewhere inviting and where I want to be...
So white and So pure...
Like walking after a winter snowstorm...
With the sun shining bright...
No fears...
No Worries...
Only Peace...
I often imagine what it would be like...
Every vision never a dissapointment...
Although I am happy hear on earth...
The thought of a better place...
With no worries...
No disappointments...
Only happiness in a place so soothing...
Reuniting with loved ones missed so much...
So comfortable and so safe...
In that place so desired...
The place we dreamt to be...
When our time on earth is complete.

If we only knew

Your beautiful boy is in my angel's arms in that beautiful place

Happy Valentines Day by Aunt Laurie

This valentine is not of the ordinary kind.

It's still filled with Love and

Blessings inside. But mine has to be

sent on the Wings Of Love. You see

it's destinationis the Heavens above.

It's being sent to My son Caleb

who left earth so soon. Who's now in the Heavens

with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your

Valentine, I Love you, my sweet

precious child of mine.

My Love is still deeper than the ocean is blue.

It's sent with hugs and kisses from

me to you. I know you are with me

each and everyday. You listen as I

talk to you and you hear every

word I say. For that is one thing you'll

always be a part of me and me a part of you.

Happy Valentines Day Caleb, I miss

you so much. I know you know how many lives

you have touched, you'll always be mine.

I love you with all my heart, I know we

will be together again and then we'll

never part. So you see the meaning

is still the same, the method of delivery

is the only change. Mine must be sent by

a little white dove,

On The Wings Of Love.

God Took My Hand by Aunt laurie

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear.

He said "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, Mom
He only took my hand

When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to his side.

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.

I love you and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!

And so, you must go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.

My Mom Is A Survivor by Aunt Laurie

My mom is a survivor,
Or so I have 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 wares 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 to 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.

Christmas Poem by Aunt laurie

'Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!
It's my first one here;
Everything is all right.

The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.

I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.

And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.

I think of my family
that I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine

Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another;
Live life to its best.

Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.

CHILDREN WHO DIE ARE NOT REALLY GONE by cassandra cassan larry's mom

Children who die are not really gone,
But go to a place that is something like home,
Where they sleep the deep sleep, as quiet as stone,
Until we can join them when our lives are done.

Children who die are not really dead,
But just like good children tucked into bed,
Wait the long wait while we go ahead
Till our tales are all told and our tears are all shed.
Children who die feel no pleasure or pain
In the place where they wait till they see us again,
And all of us dance in a world washed with rain
Where the sun shines so brightly no sorrows remain

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HEAVEN by Mommy

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
On cold wintery nights

I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
To stay in His grace
I came here before you
To help set your place

You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
Now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

My Sweet Baby Angel by Mommy

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 the start,
Although my body you can't hold,
It doesn't mean I'm gone,
This world was not worthy 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 my 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 hearts not ache,
I'm watching over all you do,
Another child you will bear,
Beleive me when I say to you,
That I am always there.
There'll come a time,
I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face, and kiss my lips,
and then, you will understand.
Although I never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes,
That doesn't mean I never was'
Because an Angel NEVER DIES.....

Angel Caleb by laurie Molcany (kathryn Coleman's Mommy)

Our dear Christ knew the way was rough,
and his precious body was not strong enough,
So, He called an Angel and sweetly smiled,
as He laid in her arms a darling little child.
"Be very tender with him", He said,
"I took him gently from heis mother's arms,
I did not mean to cause his mother any pain,
and he was not taken in vain.
he had such tiny hands and feet,
he was so helpless and dear and sweet,
he could not walk earth's stormy way,
so I bought him back to Heaven today."

he will grow beautiful, strong and fair,
for the ones he left behind who care.
His family is very pained at heart
and over and over their teardrops start.

But we'll love and keep him, you and I,
until they come to meet him by and by.
A notion? Perhaps, but I'm sure of this:
This sweet child woke and smiled at the Angel's kiss

You Will Always Be My Mother by laurie molcany (kathryn coleman's mommy)

I thought of you all, I closed my eyes
and prayed to God today. I asked what makes a Mother
and I know I heard Him say,
A Mother has a baby.
This we know is true. But God can you be a Mother
when your baby's not with you?"Yes you can!", He replied
with confidence in His voice,
"I give many women babies,
when they leave is not their choice."Some I send for a lifetime
and other's for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
but there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here. He took a breath and cleared His throat
and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you
what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile
with other children and say,"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom
who had so much love for me
I learned my lesson very quick
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear,
Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here."So you see
my dear sweet one,
your children are OK. Your babies are here in my home
and this is where they'll stay. They'll wait for you with me
until your lesson is through.
And on that day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you. So now you see what makes a Mother.
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of
right from the very start. Though some on earth may not realize
that you are a Mother until their time is done.
They'll be up here with me one day
and know you're the best one.
Written with love
for all the Mother's missing their babies

My Sweet Baby Boy by Mommy

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 the past,
But to us who loved and lost You,
Your memory will always last.

My prayer to you by Mommy

If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
WE ONLY WANTED YOU!

on 06.12.07

Prayer by Auntie from Massachusetts

Lord God, ever caring and gentle, we commit to your love this little one, quickened to life for so short a time. Enfold him in eternal life. May we all meet one day in the joy and peace of your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

An Angel In Disguise by Mommy

If an angels wings are forever hidden,
beneath two arms that wrap with care;
And a vibrant halo glows within,
a tender spirit shining there.

If the melody of a blessed harp
is found in the warmest voice,
and an unconditional love is sewn,
in to your each and every choice.

If the laughter of a cherub rings,
when you have brightened someones day,
and pure heavens found in every smile,
you felt need to send this way.

If an angels gown of flowing white,
is shielding from all eyes.
At once I knew when I saw you,
I SPIED AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.

GODS LENT CHILD by Mommy

"I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine " God said-
For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
or forty 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 nicest memories
as solace for his grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return
but, there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the whole world over,
in my search for teachers true,
and from the things that crowd life's lane
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I come to take
this lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done"
for all the joys thy child will bring
the risk of grief will run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may,
and for the happiness we've known
forever grateful stay.

But, should thy Angels call for him
much sooner than we planned,
we'll brave the grief that comes
and try to understand
