I'll Be There

Daddy please don't look so sad, Mommy please don't cry, Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies. Please try not to question God, Don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you, And then He changed His mind. You see, I am a Special Child,
And I am needed up above, I'm the special gift you gave Him, The product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, And watch the sky at night. Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light. You'll see me in the morning frost, That mists your window panes.
That's me, in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain. When you feel a gentle breeze,
From a gentle wind that blows, That's me, I'll be there, Planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing, And your heart feels a little tug, That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug. So, daddy, Please don't look so sad, Mommy don't you cry. I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies.

I'll Be There

Just Those Few Weeks

For those few weeks, I had you to myself.
And that seems too short a time to be changed so profoundly.
In those few weeks, I came to know you...and to love you.
You came to trust me with your life, Oh, what a life I had planned for you!
Just those few weeks, when I lost you,
I lost a lifetime of hopes, plans,dreams and aspirations...
a slice of my future simply vanished overnight.
Just those few weeks, it wasn't enough time to convince others how special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died and no one is mourning the passing.
Just a mere few weeks, and no "normal" person would cry all night over a tiny, unfinished baby, or get depressed and withdraw day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I?
You were just those few weeks my little one.
You darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that's all the time you needed to make my life so much richer and give me a small glimpse of eternity.

Dear Mommy and Daddy,
I just wanted to let you know,
That I made it home.
The journey wasn't an easy one.
But it didn't take too long
Everything is so pretty here.
So white, so fresh and new.
I wish that you could close your eyes,
And that you could see it too.
Please try not to be sad for me...
Try to understand.
God is taking care of me...
I'm in the shelter of his hands,
Here there is no sadness,
No sorrow and no pain.
Here there is no crying,
No hurt for us again.
Here it is so peaceful,
When all the angels sing.
I really have to go now -
I've just got to try my wings!

These are some of my favorite poems. They have brought me great comfort in my darkest days and I hope that you may also receive peace through these poems.

Just Those Few Weeks

A Tiny Hand
by Denise Hanstad

A tiny hand we'll never hold,
a child without a name;
Your coos and giggles
won't touch our ears,
but we loved you just the same.
The twinkle in your little eyes,
was not for us to see;
we longed to hold you in our arms,
but it never came to be.
God now holds your tiny hand,
He's given you a name;
your coos and giggles grace Heaven's ears,
but we'll miss you just the same.
The twinkle in your little eyes,
now lights the sky at night.
God holds you close in loving arms,
you're always in His sight.
A tiny hand we'll never hold,
we have no reason why;
but we'll always hold you in our hearts,
even though we said good-bye.

In Memory Of
Author Unknown

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home

You Were Loved

Before your eyes had opened to light
Before you could smile and coo all night
Before arms could reach and hold you tight
You were loved, you were loved, you were loved.

Before you had time to not like it here
Before you had time to show any fear
Before you had time to shed a tear
You were gone, you were gone, you were gone.

I am writing this poem to let you know
That I never really wanted to let you go
I wanted to keep you here and let you know
You were loved, you were loved, you were loved.

The Empty Womb

I carried you so lovingly,
within my gentle womb...
and little did I realize,
your life would end too soon.

I never got the chance to say
"I love you, little one"...
before I held you in my arms,
your life on earth was done.

The grief is indescribable,
to lose a child this way...
all the many hopes and dreams,
just vanished on that day.

I know I'll see the sun shine bright
upon my baby's face...
when I finally get to heaven,
all my pain will be erased.

We'll soar the skies together,
as angels two by two...
we'll have a sweet reunion;
a mother's dream come true.
