poems

I was sent a little treasure from up above,
You were sent to me to show me love.
I was only given you for a short time
I had to give you back, but you will always be mine
You were such a tough little boy
In such a short time you brought me such joy.
You taught me so much in those few days.
I know you are now in heaven where you now run and you play.
You showed me what strenghth was, for you were so strong.
Your strenght stays with me here where it belongs.
They said you should have never made it to birth,
Yet you came and you stayed three days on the Earth
You showed me courage, even though it was tough
I tried to keep you here, it just wasn't enough
You showed me you were stubborn, they thought you's go right away
But being in Mommy and Daddy's arms is where you wanted to stay.
I'll never forget the moment thath you passed
You gave me a smile, then your breath was your last.
I know that you are in a beautiful place,
I know this is true by the look on your face.
We miss you now, as we did back in May
In our hearts you will forever stay.
You'll always be our heavenly treasure
Our love for you no one could measure
Love, Mommy 2-12-02

Mommy and Daddy don't cry for me
to walk the Earth was not meant to be
I'm in God's house you see
I watch over you every day
I know that you love me in a special way
You wanted me to be healthy and whole
So you had to let me go.
You will get to see me everyday
As you look at the children who pass your way
I may be the little boy with the dimple in his chin
Or the little girl with the golden curl
You will know what you did is right because
When you look in the sky on a clear star filled night,
I will be the star that is shining so bright
I love you Mommy and Daddy, goodnight

When God calls little children to dwell with him above
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love
For no heartache compares with the death of a small child
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold
So he picks a rosebud before it can grow old

God knows how much we needs them and so He takes such a few
To make the land of heaven so beautiful to view
Believing that is difficult still somehow we must try
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "goodbye"
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children
Angels are hard to find

Oh, little boy, we looked forward to the day you would be born
But alas, the Lord left us forlorn
You didn't leave us without a fight
You fought to stay on Earth with all of your might.
You are now resting in the heavens above
You left surrounded by your family's strong love
Our arms are now empty, our hearts are so sad.
You will always be remembered by your Mom and your Dad
So to God your tiny soul release,
We know that your heart is at eternal peace.
