my precious child
theres not a day that passes
that i dont sit and cry,
and look to heaven for a reason
but still i dont know why.
couldn't he have waited
another year or two,
until you were alittle older
and i'd had more time with you.
forgive me ,lord, i then say,
all these thoughts are wrong,
there had to be a reason
and i know i must be strong.
you're in the arms of jesus now
and i know that you'll be fine,
but i wish with all my heart
that those arms could be mine.

XX.SPECIAL LITTLE SPIRIT.XX
'You're a Special Little Spirit,'
the all great Master said,
As he gently caressed the curly blond hair
of the Little Spirit's head
'You need to go to Earth
to spend some time, you know,
A place I send most Spirits
to be tested, to learn, and grow.'
The Little Spirit, in sadness,
slowly bowed his head,
And from his eye a tear did steal
and down his cheek it shed.
'Don't you fret now little one,
I won't let you stay too long,
I'll bring you back to help me here,
You'll hardly know that you've been gone.
You're my choicest Little Spirit,
you're the apple of my eye.'
And he wiped the tear and gently kissed
His Little Spirit good-bye.
'I'm back,' the Little Spirit whispered,
as he climbed onto his Master's knee,
And the Master said, 'I told you,
you would not be long away from me.'
And then, the Lord, He noticed
still another tear welled in his eye.
'Why are you so sad, Little Spirit,
whatever should make you cry?'
'I'm glad I'm back,' the Little Spirit said,
'but Master you must surely know,
When Your Angel came to get me,
I did not want to go.
I know You said You needed me,
and that I'd be gone the shortest while,
But Lord, couldn't I have had
a little longer earthly trial?'
The Master let the Little Spirit
slip down from off His knee,
He firmly took the little hand and said,
'Come walk with Me.'
The Little Spirit and the Lord
slowly walked hand in hand,
As the Master explained his special part
in the great and marvelous plan.
'Now, Lord, I don't mean to argue,
I understand that you needed me home.
But I left in such a hurry,
I left everyone hurting and so alone.
I didn't let my earthly parents know
how much I loved them so.
I was too small to tell them Lord,
how will they ever know?
They feel they've been cheated,
and in a way, so do I.
Not getting to share any more than we did,
how can I ever tell them why?'
'Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy
with this message you need to share.
But you need not worry anymore,
I'll watch over your loved ones there.
I'll send them loving comfort
as a strong and helping hand.
I'll contend and give peace to their aching hearts,
so they will understand.'
The Little Spirit looked up at his Master
and said 'Thank You for explaining it to me.
And could you please tell them that I'm safe and happy,
and that someday They'll be here with me?'
'Yes,' said the Lord with a smile and a nod,
I'll tell them all that I can.
Then the others came to see the Little Spirit,
as the Lord let go of his hand.
He said, 'I'll tell them that you're pure,
as pure as Heaven's Gold,
That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul
to keep Heaven from getting cold'
loving you always mummy.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

THINKING OF YOU MARTYN
A Dad Hurts Too
People don't always see the tears a dad cries,
His heart is broken too when his child dies.
He tries to hold it together and be strong,
Even though his world's gone wrong.
He holds his wife as her tears fall,
Comforts her through it all,
He goes through his day doing what he's supposed to do,
But a piece of his heart has been ripped away too.
So when he's alone he lets out his pain,
And his tears come like falling rain,
His world has crashed in around him,
And a world that was once bright has gone dim.
He feels he has to be strong for others,
But Dads hurt too, not just the Mothers,
He searches for answers but none are to be found,
He hides behind a mask when he is feeling down.
He smiles through his tears,
He struggles and holds in his fears,
But what you see on the outside is not always real,
Men don't always show how they really feel.
So I'd like to ask a favor of you,
The next time you see a mother hurting
over the loss of her child,
please remember.....a Dad hurts too.

IM STILL HERE.XXX
Mum, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colourful leaves when Autumn's around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, Mum, I'm every place!
Thinking of you and your angel
You are always in my heart
love Joanne.xxxx
love you
Broken Heart That Speaks
I feel more depressed
Each day when I awake
I wish to god you could tell me
There has been a big mistake.
My darling son was taken
From his mothers love
To live with the angels
In heaven up above
I did not have him with me
For the time I should have had
No longer can I hold him
Which makes me very sad?
The pain of losing my son
Shows in every single tear
I spend each day missing you
Longing to have you near
Life for me is lonely now
Without you by my side
My Broken shattered heart
Is very hard to hide
People tell me that time is a healer
That the pain will go away
They don’t understand
That this pain is here to stay
For when you lose a child
There is nothing that can compare
The bond we had at their birth
Will never leave, it’s always there
The love a mother has
Runs so very deep
That love is so special
It’s in her heart to keep
A mother’s heart is broken
She is ripped apart inside
There is a part of her missing
It left when her child died
So please don’t tell me to get over it
For this I can not do
Unless you understand my feelings
And this has happened to you
Only another mother who has lost a child
Can understand my pain
Because the also suffer daily
As the memories of their child remain
We are a band of mothers
Whose hearts will never heal?
For the loss of our children
Is for us, so very real.
happy birthday little angel
birthday wishes for tomorrow, hope you have a great day in paradise, send loads of love to your loved ones for an especially hard day
lots of love and kisses little angel xxx
Don't let them say, I wasn't born
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave
I've loved you from the start.
Although my body you can't hold,
It doesn't mean I'm gone.
This world was worthy, not, of me
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face.
You have my word, I'll fill your arms
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was 'meant to be,
God doesn't make mistakes'
But that won't soften your worst blow..
Or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do,
another child you'll bear.
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.
There will come a time, I promise you
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you'll understand.
Although, I've never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes..
That doesn't mean I never 'was'
An Angel Never Dies........
i am just a tiny angel,
im smaller than your thumb,
i live in peoples pockets,
thats where i have my fun,
i don't suppose you've seen me,
im too tiny to detect,
though im with you all the time,
you wont know that we've met,
now god has many angels,
that he trains in angel pools,
we become his eyes,ears,and hands,
we become his special tools,
and because god is soo busy,
with way too much to do,
he said that my assignment,
is to keep close watch on you,
when he tucked me in your pocket,
he blessed you with angel care,
he told me never to leave you,
and i vowed always to be there .xx
IF I COULD HAVE SOME FAIRY DUST,
TO MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE,
I'D TAKE IT WITH ME IN MY SLEEP,
SO I COULD DREAM OF YOU
I'D DREAM I WERE AN ANGEL,
IF ONLY FOR ONE DAY,
SO I COULD BE IN HEAVEN,
JUST TO SPEND THE DAY WITH YOU
I'D TELL YOU HOW I LOVED YOU SO,
AND MISSED YOU OH SO MUCH,
AND HOW FOR JUST A LITLE WHILE,
YOU WERE MINE BUT NOT TO KEEP
I'D HOLD YOU OH SO VERY CLOSE,
BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO GO,
YOU SEE MY LITTLE ANGEL,
YOU WERE MY GIFT BUT NOT TO KEEP
I HAVE TO SAY NIGHT NIGHT NOW,
ITS TIME FOR ME TO GO,
BT THIS FEELING IN MY HEART FOR YOU,
WILL NEVER GO TO SLEEP
YOUR TIME WAS NOT NOW,
YOU WERE NOT MEANT FOR ME,
A SOUL TO LOOK AFTER,
A CHILD NOT TO BE,YOU WERE A GIFT,
FROM THE LORD UP ABOVE,
A GIFT OF AN ANGEL,
GIVEN WITH LOVE,
YOU WERE SO TIRED,
OF LIFE NOT YET HAD,
AN ANGEL IN WAITING,
YOU LEFT US SO SAD,
BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL,
FOR THE TIME WE WERE GIVEN,
AND I KNOW THAT YOU WATCH US,
WITH THE OTHER ANGELS IN HEAVEN
