Balloons
I`d like to think you see this note,
Above the clouds so high,
I`d like to think you'll answer me,
Or at least give it a try.
Be that wind that whispers through..
My hair when the day is done,
Be the beam of light I see..
From the early morning sun.
Be that spotted butterfly..
That flies with grace and style..
Be that precious child of mine..
That always had a smile.
I send you this note and a warm embrace,
and i`ll do it again someday..
In hopes that you will just drop by..
You really don't have to stay.
I know your happy where you are,
Just wanted to say hi,
So I'm sending you this balloon today,
It reminded me of you,
With this little note attached to it..
In hopes you miss me too.
Love, Mom

This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Jessica from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.

My daughter Jessica was my third born child, born 11/18/91. She was a beautiful baby, she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor when she was three months old. She went through surgery and chemotherapy for 3 months. She was a very strong baby, but the cancer won the ugly battle.
She went to heaven on 5/29/92.

JOY IN HEAVEN
Listen...can you hear it?
A heavenly choir sings.
Another little angel
Just got her set of wings.
There's joy and there is shouting
As she steps through heaven's gate.
They all lined up to greet her.
All the angels celebrate.
Her eyes are shining brightly
And a smile lights her face,
As she receives her halo
And takes her special place.
She's the smallest little angel
With the biggest kind of love.
She's wiser than an owl
And more peaceful than a dove.
And though there's joy in heaven,
There is sorrow down below.
broken hearts are crying
Since they had to let her go.
So she watches them from heaven
But she knows the time will come,
They will join their precious daughter
When their work on earth is done

This angel touched your hearts
For only just a while
To teach you what it means to love
And show you how to smile

She could not stay for long
For God soon would call her home
But she left behind these memories
To carry with you when you roam

She taught you though her courage
And the strength it took to live
And to see her eyes and smile
Oh, what you wouldn't give

Now your tears of sorrow fall
But through each tear there is a light
For this end is not goodbye
Its only time till you'll unite

For one day the skies will open
And God's hands, they will unfold
And your precious baby will await
For your arms to hold

So till then, hold on
Keep her legend in your hearts
And know the journey isn't done
It's only just the start...

My Tears For My Angel Baby
The tears you see do not represent weakness.
They are tears for my child I will always love.
They are tears of sadness; I miss her so much.
I have to believe she is in Heaven above.

There are many reasons for the tears I shed.
For the love I will always have for her in my heart.
For the joy I felt the day she was born,
For the sorrow I feel now that we are apart.

The way that the sight of her face brought me happiness.
The sound of her little voice talking to me.
Her laughter that brought a smile to my face.
These things I can no longer hear or see.

Now I'm here in our home, it's so quiet, I'm alone.
Her toys are not scattered on the living room floor.
Her laughter no longer fills the room and the air.
My arms are empty; they can hold her no more.

These are not signs of weakness,
They are signs of the deepest eternal love,
For my child I used to hold in my arms, now empty,
She is no longer with me; she has to be in Heaven above.

Dearest Kasi
Such a Sweet Baby, who put up such a strong fight.
But now she is in a much better place with Our Lord.
Until you reunite with each other again. And you will.
