Upon the tree with care,
Yet it doesn't seem like Christmas
With you no longer there.
The lights are not as bright this year,
The stars have lost their shine
And all I feel is lonely
Without you, child of mine.
Yet when they have all gone to bed
And I sit with the Christmas tree
I reach into my hurting heart
And find a memory
I hang one high, I hang one low
And soon the Christmas tree
Begins to shine with unearthly light
And I know you're here with me.
Rewritten For Childhood Disease
when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
But some childrens stockings were missing this year.
Children were nestled all snug in their beds,
Some parents cling to memories dancing in their heads;
These children all fought their battles so strong,
Why oh why God, did disease have to come along?
Whether Cancer, Leukemia, Brain Tumors or AIDS,
These children all fought for each precious day;
From needles to transplants to losing their hair,
These angels still found a smile to share.
Their memories live on...these precious little ones,
Disease has taken so many of our daughters and sons;
Children should not have to go through this fear...
Please oh please God... can you send us a cure?
Star after star after star they came...
Heavenly Lights displays each precious name.
Each angel a story, a family forever changed....
As we read each childs star...name after name...
Jordyn, and Michael, Benjamin, and Timmy...
There's Joseph, and Joshua, Ariel, and Jimmy;
Their stories all told, and memories held dear...
These children are spending Christmas in Heaven this year.
The Sky is a twinkling, their stars sure do shine,
So many hearts touched, especially mine;
A bundle of joy...missed so sadly will be,
Their memories will continue on...for all to see.
Their eyes how they twinkled, their smiles were so bright,
Just like their stars that now light up our night;
Shattered lives, futures changed, a puzzle incomplete,
The meaning of life...these parents now seek.
God went right to work, and spoke not a word,
These children are now...as free as a bird;
God brings comfort and strength and has plenty to share,
The burdens will be eased with His loving care.
God is caring and strong, and needed so much,
And they smile in God's presence...so graciously touched;
God filled each stocking with hope...faith...and love,
God blessed us all...and back to heaven He rose.
Please hold us all close Father...let us feel your love,
Take care of the children up in Heaven above;
Send each parents love to their angel in the sky,
Until we are reunited in Heaven...and can understand why.
Childhood disease is so present today,
We cant ignore it...we must find a way...
To cure these diseases too many to name,
Please pray for a cure...in Jesus's name.
Disease can happen anytime... anywhere..to anyone
We must not quit until the battles all won!
Lets make 2007 the year...
......for a better cure.
Better cures must be found please help the fight...
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

Is a spectacular sight to see,
As the Angels go around the world,
Gathering things to put on the tree.
They gather up some moonbeams,
They gather up some stars,
they even go a little farther,
To gather things from Mars.
And when the tree is ready,
You'll hear the Angels sing,
And somewhere in a distance,
You'll hear the Christmas bells ring.
Written by Judy Ryan
Mommy, when I went to heaven,
I took part of your heart.
Just so you will always remember me,
And know we will never be apart.
Mommy, when I went to heaven,
I was not alone.
They were waiting there for me,
The day the Lord took me home.
Mommy, when I went to heaven,
I seen you crying down below.
I tried to touch you,
And let you know I love you so.
Mommy, when I went to heaven,
I know you didn't want me to go.
So the Lord let's me come back once & awhile,
I kiss you just to let you know.
Mommy, when I went to heaven,
They promised you would feel my touch.
I am here for you, mommy,
I miss & love you so much....

The holidays are approaching
That dreaded time of year
The season of happiness and cheer
It is so hard to celebrate
Without my child being here
I shall feel only pain, sorrow and fear
How can a parent be thankful
When your child is no longer with you
The holidays then become nothing to you
Then comes the season to be jolly
How can I, I can't even put up a tree
My child is no longer with me
I love my family and all my friends
Please don't get me wrong
It's just so saddening when I hear those holiday songs
I find it hard to be happy
When I am feeling so blue
The holidays don't mean as much to me
Without my child to celebrate them with me
Yes the holidays are approaching
I cannot turn them away
I pray for strength to get me through
I also pray for you to get through them too.

Please accept this message of love
You were never forgotten;
always in my heart,
And in my prayers to God above.
Although I had to let you go
My arms ached with emptiness
For the loss of your warmth;
the loss of your touch;
The loss of your love and tenderness.
Over the years I yearned to see
Your smile, your tears, your innocent eyes
To watch you play, hear you laugh,
to hum a song as you sleep;
To be there again as you arise.
My little lost child you will never know
The pain and loss I've felt inside
When I walked away with empty arms;
a hurting and sorrowful heart
Where my love for you forever abides.
Sit with me awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear...
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long...
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know...
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".

It's so hard to believe four years have gone by. It seems like yesterday,and it's still not fair. I lost the one little person
I loved so much. I miss you more with each passing day. I wonder what you look like. I sit and picture you with Nicholas
and I know the two of you would have been great brothers. And your little sister Victoria is getting so big, and I know she would have looked up to you, her big brother. My life has changed forever.
My sweet angel I know you are here with us, smiling from above.
When I put your Christmas tree up, I know there is only one angel for this tree and it's you.
I hold your memories close to my heart. I love and miss you. Forever Mommy.
And now we decorate his Christmas tree every year in his memory.
may bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
let me hear the music of his name!
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul!

Almost silently, only a moment you stayed
But what an imprint your footprints left upon my heart~

wrote down my baby's birth,
and whispered as she closed the book,
"too beautiful for earth"
