"My
Heart Will Go On"
By Celine Dion
Every night in my dreams
I see you,
I feel you
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near,
far,
wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime.
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you'
One true time I hold to,
In my life we'll always go on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way,
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.
What
Makes A Mother
Author Unknown
I
thought of you and closed my eyes
and prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a mother
and I know I heard him say...
"A mother has a baby."
This we know is true.
But can you be a mother
when your baby's not with you?
"Yes, you can," He said
with confidence in His voice.
"I give many women babies.
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
and others for a day.
Some I send to feel your womb
but there's no need to stay."
I just don't understand this, God.
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat
and then I saw a tear.
"I wish that I could show you
what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
with other children and say,
'We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh, so much
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom
who had so much love for me.
I learned my lesson very quickly.
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh, so much
but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep,
on her pillow is where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear,
"Mommy, don't be sad today.
I'm your baby and I'm here." '
So, you see, my dear sweet one,
your child is okay.
Your baby is here in my home
and this is where he'll stay.
He'll wait for you with me
until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home,
he'll be at the gates for you.
So, now you see what makes a mother.
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of
right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not see
you're a mother with a son.
They'll be up here with me one day
and know you're the best one."

"Don't
Cry Daddy"
Author Unknown
Don't
cry for me Daddy
I am right here
Although you can't see me
I see your tears
I visit you often
I go to work with you each day
And when it's time to close your eyes
On your pillow is where I lay
I hold your hand and stroke your hair
And whisper in your ear
If your sad today Daddy
Remember I am here
God took me home
This we know is true
But you'll always be my Daddy
Even though I'm not with you
I am Daddy's little boy
We will never be apart
For every time you think of me
Please know I'm in your heart
"Heaven's
Gift"
Francine
Pucillo
Each
child a gift to heaven,
Their spirits on the earth
To watch and to protect us
As they received rebirth
Rainbows
forged in heaven
While angels fill the skies
Gentle love and elegance
Each lacy wing now flies
Gathered
on soft pillow
On billowy sweet cloud
The gift of love and beauty
With halos now endowed
Heaven's
entrance filtered
With gentle baby wings
That light our way to heaven
With love they always bring
Jesus
holds these children
Forever in His Hands
Gently He will let them go
His love across the land
Feel
a breeze upon you
Floral scent so sweet
Angel sent from heaven
Love that's ours to keep.
"I'll
Be There"
Author
Unknown
Daddy
please don't look so sad,
Momma 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 windowpane.
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.
"The
Little Ones"
Author Unknown
Why
God takes the little ones
I swear I'll never know
You had so much life to live
It just wasn't time to go.
For comfort, now, I think of you
With tiny little wings
Up above, in a beautiful place,
listening to angels sing.
You'll never know the pain I feel
The hurt you left behind.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to hold you one more time.
I carried you in my womb,
Then I carried you in my arms
And now, until it no longer beats
I'll carry you in my heart

"Sadly
Hollow"
Prayer of the Makah Indians
Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there...I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night
Do not stand by my grave and cry..
I am not there...I did not die.
"A
Child Is Now At Rest"
Author Unknown
A
child is now at rest
For a safer place she remains
A world of goodness and beauty
A world without worry or pain
No fear will she encounter
For a better place she'll be
A place where the sick are healed
And where blind eyes can see
Our world has forever changed
Our lives are not the same
But close within our hearts
Her precious face remains
We give to her our tears
And our prayers we send above
We cherish all the memories
Filled with happiness and love
She'll have someone to depend on
A helping hand is there to lend
For the Father shall be watching
And in Heaven, she'll have a friend
This battle is faced head on
Many obstacles to overcome
But in the end together,
this battle will be won.
