In Loving Memory of Joshua Bell
11/26/86 - 1/14/90



JOSHUA


I SIT HERE AND WANDER
HOW THINGS WOULD BE
IF YOU WERE HERE NOW
LOOKING AT ME

YOU WERE SO SMALL
WHEN YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY
IT WASN'T QUITE FAIR
I WANTED YOU TO STAY

I MISS YOUR LITTLE FACE
AND THE TWINKLE IN YOUR EYES
YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE
THAT BRIGHTENED UP THE SKIES.

I REMEMBER THE THINGS
YOU USED TO DO
YOUR SILLY LITTLE WAYS
I REMEMBER THEM TOO

YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MIND
AND FOREVER IN MY HEART
I WILL BE NEAR YOU SOMEDAY
BUT FOR NOW WE ARE FAR APART

LOVE,
MOMMY



These are two beautiful and loving gifts for Angel Joshua from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.







ANGEL EYES

Performed by The Buzz Poets

I WALK THE EARTH ABOVE THE GROUND,
HIS SMILE IS WIDE
IT PAINT THE SKIES LIKE BLUE SKIES,
BLUE SKIES
AND ALL THE CREATURES HEARD THIS SOUND
THE NIGHT THE CHILDLIKE ANGEL LEARNED
TO FLY IN BLUE SKIES
ALL I ASK IS WHY LITTLE ANGELS HAVE TO FLY
STARS THAT HIDE IS ANGEL EYES
I THROW MY HANDS UP TO THE SKY
I MISS HIS ANGEL EYES
HE SINGS TO ME DON'T CRY
SINCE THE HEAVENS CALLED NAME
NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME
THEN US TOGETHER, TOGETHER
THEY SAY THAT LEGENDS NEVER DIE
AND SO MY FRIEND THIS ANGEL IS FOREVER, FOREVER
ALL I ASK IS WHY LITTLE ANGELS HAVE TO FLY
STARS THAT HIDE IS ANGEL EYES
I THROW MY HANDS UP TO THE SKY
I MISS HIS ANGEL EYES
HE SINGS TO ME DON'T CRY
I SING I SCREAM I NEED TO HEAR A REASON
STAR HAS FALLEN I THINK I HEAR HIM CALLING
SINCE THE DAY I HEARD THE NEWS
MY SOUL IS MELTING
MY HEART IS BURNING BURNING
HE WAS JUST A CHILD
WITH THE SUNSHINE IN HIS SMILE
INNOCENCE AS ANGELS FLY
SEE AN ANGEL IN THE SKY
I MISS HIS ANGEL EYES
SINGS TO ME DON'T CRY
HE WAS JUST A CHILD
WITH THE SUNSHINE IN HIS SMILE
INNOCENCE AS ANGELS FLY
SEE AN ANGEL IN THE SKY
I MISS HIS ANGEL EYES
SINGS TO ME DON'T CRY




The song playing on here, Angel Eyes by The Jeff Healy Band, is a very special one. Josh's Aunt Cindy used to play it all the time, and she would sing to him. He would always say Angel Eyes every time we went there as soon as we walked in her door, and if she didn't play it he would have a fit. If we didn't play it, he would make this pouty face and his lip would stick out so far that it was so hard not to do what he wanted and he knew that he had us.


These beautiful images above are loving gifts from Pammi for Josh's birthday.
Thank you ever so much!!!





Ever Close in Mind and Heart


No further away than a picture,
A smile or remembered phrase,
Our loved ones live in memory --
So close in so many ways.
For how often does a sunset
Bring nostalgic thoughts to mind
Of moments that our loved ones shared
in days now left behind!
How often has a flower
Or a crystal autumn sky
Brought golden recollections
Of happy days gone by!
Yes, memory has a magic way
Of keeping loved ones near --
Ever close in mind and heart
Are the ones we hold most dear.
~ Written by Marjorie Frances Ames



WE DO NOT NEED A SPECIAL DAY

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heart ache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
~ Written by Connie Dyer, BP/USA, Springfield, IL





Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather every day --

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well!
~ Written by Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander




LIGHT A CANDLE


And I will light a candle for you
to shadow all the darkness and bless the times we knew
Like a beacon in the night the flame will burn bright
and guide us on our way
Oh today I light a candle for you.

Seasons come and go and I'm weary from the change
Keep on moving on -- you know it's not the same
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?

And I will light a candle for you...

You filled my life with wonder -- touched me with surprise
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes
And through the good times and the bad
We carried on with pride
I hold on to the love and life we knew

And I will light a candle for you...
Oh today I light a candle for you.

   




For Joshua
What a sweet little boy. I know he lives on in memory and in heaven.
God Be With You
Ann, Laurasmom
