Jenessa Danae Rodriguez Born to Heaven on September 20, 2005 the streets were strewn with beautiful flowers of every kind imaginable Angels were talking in excited tones and laughter rang from all around! Halos were polished to a gleam, Wings were wide and full, Each angel carried a candle that was lit! They lined up in rows two by two, it was going to be a wonderful celebration. Every one was ready the parade was about to begin! An Angel who was in line and ready to go, glanced over to the park, And saw a the tinniest angel sitting alone, his halo was not polished and wings were not unfurled! And his candle was by his side unlit. Tears were coursing down his tiny face! The Angel walked to this tiny little angel and spoke to him: Why are you not joining in the parade, the little one looked up at the other Angel, and spoke: I would dearly love to join in the celebration, but each time I get my halo just right and my wings spread out and my candle lit! My mommy and daddy's tears put out the flame, because they miss me so very much. The other angel understood the tiny one all to well, he gathered the tiny one in his arms and picked up his halo and candle put each of them in their proper place! and he told the tiny angel it will be OK For today is going to be a celebration of love and welcome, and I want you to say a prayer for your mommy and daddy. And because today is a special day I know they will hear your prayer and find comfort in knowing that you are gone from their arms, but never their hearts. The tiny angel began to pray Dear Mommy and Daddy, I am thinking of you today, and I miss you very much, we are having a wonderful celebration today! And I would like very much to join in. But every time I lite my candle your tears put out the flame and I cannot join in with all the others today, knowing how sad you are without me, but weep no more mommy and daddy I am no longer in pain, and I am here with so many who will look after me until you are here to do it I miss you so very much! And even though you cannot see me or touch me or feel me, I am with you forever in your hearts! so weep no more and know we will be together again and what a celebration that will be ~ Author unknown This is your Aunty Candi, We never met but I believe you are with my little Austyn up there in heaven.. I do not know why you are there instead of here with us on earth.. but it seems God had other plans for you.. I know your mommy will love this site I had made just for you.... Love your Aunty Candi.. p.s. if you seen him tell Austyn I love him so very much! There is a child somewhere Lost in earth or time. She was mine There is no other feeling Like the movement of an unborn child. It's closer Than someone touching you From the outside, It's purely and cleanly and clearly Your own movement. For those few weeks We were together, Alone against the world. But nature, that grand cheat, Took her away When we needed each other the most. I cannot say why I could not save her. Could there be a reason why? Did my body reject her in its humiliation? Did I, in my mind push her away? Because she wouldn't let me give up When I wanted to go? I carried her And she carried me Through a time when we could not go alone. It doesn't matter now to anyone No one ever knew. But now and then, Along the way, I look at first graders With their barbie lunch boxes And tender paintings of trees and frogs, And I think about those first feelings Of movement and growth... For Jenessa you'll always be in my thoughts And to me you'll always grow On and on in the heavens, And again you and me will become one again ... 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 ~ Author Unknown 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. ~ Author unknown 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 heartache 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 build 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 Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been Trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark and deep Inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to dream And dream how wonderful Your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me Someday we'll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on They never die That's how you And I Will be "Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)" Billy Joel A very heart breaking story My heart is holding yours GOD BLESS Sue-Anne/LEE |
