Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be(?)
That you are mine, forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are mine, forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I cannot believe it’s your anniversaries
When death came and carried each of you away
Sometimes I feel as if time has stood still
And your deaths were only yesterday
My heart was replaced with emptiness
Where love for you had been
I did not willingly replace you
Grief showed up and moved right in
Slowly I’m pushing out this grief
Replacing it with memories of each of you
My love and thoughts are refilling the space
I’ll never let this grief replace my love for you
I have never lost my love for you
This grief has only temporally separated us
Grief does strange things to a parent
But never will it replace the love I have for you
Time has a way of bringing healing to a heart
Even though the pain and sorrow may stay
God will always get me through each day
When I reach heaven He will take all my pain away
Until God brings us together
I want each of you to always remember
No matter the feelings or things I may say
My children, my love for you is forever

In Loving Memory of Catherine Clare Martin
I'm looking down from Heaven Mommy
I don't like to see you cry
I remember how you loved me
I did not want to say good-bye.
I don't ever get very lonely
At night Jesus rocks me to sleep
I play with the other little angels
From cloud to cloud we leap.
There's a new little angel here
His mommy is very sad
Her heart is surely broken
And like you, she hurts so bad.
Could you do something for me Mommy?
If it's not to much to ask?
You were always so gentle and kind to me
So I know you are up to the task.
You see, I'm trying to help this angel
He misses his Mommy so
And as we look down together from Heaven
There's something you should know.
We will soon be all together
But there is time to pass till then
Could you hold her a little while
And try to be her friend?
We don't like to see you crying
Up here in Angel Land
So instead of pointing fingers
Could you please just take her hand?
It will make us both feel better
As we look down from up above
If you all are holding up each other
And remembering us with love.

Nicole was found on July 16, 2001
Her passing has remained a mystery
Nicole's Life
I watched the sunrise this morning
Such a beautiful sight to see
From the changing of night into the dawn
The beauty overwhelms me
As I watched I thought of you my darling Nicole
Recalling the day you came to be
I thought that nothing in the world
Was more beautiful than you for me
I took a deep breath
As they placed you into my arms
I promised you I'd always protect you
To keep you safe from all harm
I did my best to keep that promise to you
Each and every day
Then one day death came
And took my daughter away
I cried out but there was nothing I could do
Death had taken you away
One thing I know within my heart
You're one of God's angels today
My love for you shall always be
Death can't take that away from me
Forever you will live inside my heart
And there you'll always stay.

In Loving Memory of Jeffrey Charles Claridge
Sometimes I need to talk about my son
I miss his laughter and his smile
His voice is lost in the echo of time
Gone forever this son of mine
My son is gone that is true
Sometimes I need to talk when I'm feeling blue
To mention his name bathes me in peace
Giving my grief, a moment of release
Some people shy away when I mention his name
When this happens it adds to my pain
I wish they would not turn away
Just listen to what I have to say
Sometimes I need a friend to lean on
To support me so I can carry on
To be able to cope to conquer grief's hill
I miss my JEFF and always will
I, as all of you, need to talk to those who've lost a child
Be it a minute or a while
To voice our loss of child really helps
On the road to recovery it becomes a step

Do not stand at my grave when I am gone
And please, for me do not weep
It is only where you place your comfort
Because there I do not sleep
See me in the evening stars
Or in the moon so bright
I am with you always
Even darkness of night
I am there where the wind softly blows
When the rain or snow shadows the earth
I am there when birds nest in the trees
waiting their baby's birth
So go to my grave if you have the need
Or fond memories you want to share,
There's a place in Heaven where I live,
At my grave I will not be there.

Sometimes I get lost in your memories
In hopes of blocking out my grief
So I may for a time receive a little relief
I recall the day of your birth
As I laid my eyes upon you
You wre the prettiest baby on all the earth
I said I would take your hand
To lead you down life's pathway
Never letting you to ever go astray
Many things were taught as you grew
To prepare you what lie ahead
I wanted no surprises for you
I thought of the wonderful things we had shared
Of things I planned in the future for you
Never thinking that one day, I'd be without you
For a brief time I had relief
Lost in the memories of you
What else can a parent do
Someday this will all pass
I'll make that journey as you
So I'll continue to carry this grief
Until I can be with you

Hannah's Gift
I dreamed a dream of you last night
I saw you plain as day
I watched you playing in your wonderland
Full of love and grace
Your body looked so Healthy
Your eyes were all aglow
They looked like bright and shinny stars
Like the night when I had to let you go
On your face I saw a great big smile
More beautiful than a Rose
The sight I saw that night was more precious than Gold
As I watched You in Your wonderland
The Tears fell from My eyes
I miss You precious Hannah
So much more tahn I can say
But I could never take you away
From Our Father up above
You are a precious Rose Bud in The safety of the Masters Arms
Aways from all earthly harms.

I am not gone, I am changed.
Have faith and please believe me,
God did not take me away from you.
He split the skies and received me.
NOW...
I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.
I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live,
Wherever you are, I am there.

Though you are gone
I know you are still with me
In the simple things
I used to never see
One day while walking
I chanced to see
A butterfly
Seeming to follow me
In the yard one day
A little bluebird up in a tree
Singing its song
To no one but me
Then early one morning
Right after the sunrise
On a rosebush where no roses ever grew
Was a beautiful rose, much to my surprise.
All these things happened for a reason
Just for me to see
It's just your way of showing
You are still with me

I wish I had a magical door
Which only I may open
Whenever I get lonely for you
I'd open the magical door
On the other side I'm sure I would find
A place like no other place I've been
A land more beautiful that I've ever seen
A land where there is no time
I'd walk and may find you sitting under a tree
Arranging a beautiful bouquet of flowers
I'd run as fast as my feet would go
Grab you and pull you close to me
We would have a great time together
As we talked of family and friends
I tell you how much I missed you
And wish for us to stay together
I wish I had a magical door
I knew it would never be
I can always close my eyes
And picture me walking through the magical door

I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you wake in morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep...
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Hello Dad, we came to talk
I know you're feeling a lot of pain
We know your pain
We know you think you'll not be the same
Dad it's okay to show your emotions
Men are allowed to cry too
To scream and shout if need be
It only shows how much you miss us
You will feel much better when you do
A big relief will come over you
Do not be ashamed to cry for us
Crying will surely set you free
We must go now, We love you DAD
We know you'll be all right now
Remember, your tears which are shed for us
Shows the world how much you loved us..
Written by Doyle Alldredge (2005)
Love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude,
Love does not insist on its own way,
it is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right,
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things,
LOVE NEVER ENDS.
