You feel the fortune of your years,
I hope. For all your children's love
This day must bring you happy tears
And thoughts that joyful music prove.
I hope, for all your children's love,
There is an island, be it small,
And thoughts that joyful music prove
Beyond what years you may recall.
There is an island, be it small,
Amid the passions of the sea,
Beyond what years you may recall,
Where you in silent grace can be.
Amid the passions of the sea,
This day must bring you happy tears.
Where you in silent grace can be,
You feel the fortune of your years.

Just wanted to let you know that you have someone who understands your pain and the many emotions that you may be experiencing now (heart break, fear, confusion (what did I do wrong),etc.), I've experienced those same feelings along with many more....You don't know me, but my baby passed away on August 23, 2008...I was six months pregnant, and with no signs at all, my baby was born prematurely. I delivered her as if she was full term and heard her heartbeat up until the second she was born.... VERY painful...God healed me though and I can walk in peace knowing that what better place for my baby girl to be, than in his precious arms!!! I pray for you and your family during this difficult time, in hopes that God will reward you for loving the precious gift that he gave you!!! My prayer is that his goodness will fill your life so that everything that has been taken away, will be given back to you!!!
Sincerely,
R. Scott (Chester VA.)

Death is a journey to another road. We live our lives then we make a right or a left onto the road of greener and brighter pastures. There is no need to ask for directions. You know when you are there as it is beautiful and all of your friends and relatives are awaiting you."
Our loved ones are always with you even after they pass...pay attention and you will feel their presence. If you think they are with you...they are."Our body is a mere shell...we remain alive forever. Our loved ones are always there for us...share, talk to them and listen to your intuition when you think they are communicating with you."
Though it hurts to lose a loved one, it is most painful to grieve for what you didn't get to enjoy with them. Rather, remember the blessings they left behind, with so many wonderful memories. Treasure their essence, for it is still here with you."
Losing a loved one is hard, but it's knowing that god gained an angel that makes the grief easier."
It is okay to grieve, it is a natural process...it is when we allow the grief to take us over that we are defeated. Grieve, but continue moving forward!"
There is a difference between letting them go, and forgetting them. Letting them go, means accepting they are gone, but knowing they will always have a place in your heart. Forgetting them means to forget all the memories, the good times, and the bad times. So, don't forget them, just let them go."
"A broken heart is a blessing in disguise; it reminds us of how perfect God's love is and how imperfect we are. In the midst of the pain and despair we are somehow renewed in the promise that we have been loved the whole time, and will continue to be loved for eternity. And your heart again, begins to heal, until the next time we forget. It's the cracks in our heart that make room for God's promises to sink in."
Remember that when a loved one passes away, it's because God can no longer bear to be apart from then."

The grass cannot grow without water, a rainbow cannot shine without rain and the soul cannot heal without tears."
October 29, 2008
Oh troubled heart, be still and know there can be no selfishness in love. For he who loves, the Master withholds nothing when he has need of it...and he who loves his child, will sink all sense of loss in the Everlasting gain of lying Safe upon the Bosom of the Shepherd."
October 29, 2008
Although the pain seems like it will never end, it doesn't but I promise it will get easier to handle and deal with in time. Also remember…although you loved them, God loved them more."

GOD SAID
"For a little while I'll lend you a child of mine for you to cherish while she lives, and mourn for when she is dead. Look after her for me! It may be six or seven years before I will call her home.
Will you care for her?
She'll bring you love, joy and happiness and should her stay be brief, you'll have a whole host of memories as solace from your grief."
I cannot promise she will stay, since all from the earth returns to dust, but there are lessons taught below that I want this child to learn.
Will you love her?
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true, and from the masses that crowd life's lane at last I've chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love and not think your labor in vain and turn against me when I come to take her back home again.
I fancied that I heard you say to me:
"Dear Lord your will be done, for all the joy your child shall bring the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness. We'll love her while we may, and the happiness we've known forever grateful stay. But should the angels call her much sooner than planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."
"I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine, God said, for you to cherish while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead."

HEARTSTRINGS
When those we love go away, they never really leave us;
they are with us now, wherever we are.
Those whom we have cherished, live on forever,
for love wraps itself around the heart.
Although it's difficult now,
someday beyond our tears and all the world's wrongs;
beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch,
we shall all understand.

MAY YOU HAVE PEACE
I cannot say that I know, just how you feel
For your hurt is so great, and will take God's touch to heal
Yet is it possible for such a wound, to completely ever mend
When you've lost your mate, parent, child or good friend
Please know that I pray for you, each and every day
And feel God's Holy Spirit, in small and simple ways
And then I am reminded, of such a simple phrase
With all the strength that's in you, please walk by faith
So come to me and talk about, anything you feel
For I'll be here in body, but Christ will soon reveal
That while it is impossible, for a friend to end your pain
HE will bring about a peace, and in your hurt sustain
October 29, 2008
Surrounded by friends
yet all alone
the one I loved
God has called home
the hugs of friends
helps ease the pain
and I know my loss
is my loved one's gain
but tears now flow
across my face
as I long for just
one more embrace
then comfort comes
and I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
and I feel God's grace.
October 29, 2008
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know

A smile on daddy's face
as big as as a rainbow
A smile in mommy's heart
I thought you should know,
my heart is heavy still
the pain weighing strong
God called you into the light
out of the dark now your gone
years we had waited
so much work has been done
just to smell your hair
just to hold your hand
the pain seems to much to bare.
but hope is ahead
the future seems bright
pleas god let our little one
into our light
we promis to keep it bright
to never let the light go out
i have two baby's in heaven now
safe with ones that love them
but A mommy i want to be
more than anything to me
i have a light inside of me needing to shine bright
just give me that chance, i hope that you might.

held you in my arms for the first time
Bitter sweet
I gave you back to the nurse
Searing pain
That was the last time I ever saw you
Emptiness
In my mind I still hold you tight
Loneliness
Forever in my heart we are together
Safe and happy

little angel in heaven,
looking down upon this earth
I am walking down memory path again
remembering the day of your birth.
so tiny and so perfect
your hand so small in mine
I waited and I waited,no sound of breath
I didn't hear you cry.
I thought somehow if I held you forever
and put your heart to mine
then a miracle would happen,
I would hear you breath, hear you cry.
But my little one, this was not to be,
you were already holding me from above
when the ground fell from beneath me
when my heart ached with love.
my little one, I have been so alone,
thankyou for holding my hand
I know someday we will meet again
and someday I will understand.
I know now you are an angel,
you blessed my heart
I love you
Daddy...I will always love you

Did you cry when I was born?
Frail, helpless, tiny and screaming
Were they tears of joy for a new life to nurture?
Or were they tears of despair for yet another mouth
to feed, another child to teach in this world?
Did you cry as I was growing up?
Willful, outspoken, headstrong and smart
Were they tears of laughter and amusement at the follies
And antics I did while I tried ways to learn who I can be?
Or were they tears of disappointments for the way I
Do things and for the way I turned out to be?
Did you cry when my heart was broken many times
By callous, unfaithful men who promised me forever
Then left me for someone they thought much better than me?
Were they tears of shared pain seeing me crying, hurt and confused?
Or were they tears of relief that each time my heart was broken,
I found out sooner before it was too late?
Did you cry when I finally decided to settle down
With the man who stood by me, believed in me
And who gave me so much joy, love and trust?
Were they tears of contentment at finally seeing me
happy and taken cared of and truly loved?
Or were they tears you just can’t explain
That I will soon go through all the joys and pains
Like you and all the women before you?
Did you cry when I gave birth to my child
Brawling, red-faced cute little angel who looked a lot like me
…and sometimes, him?
Were they tears of delight on seeing the little angel
Light up my eyes…and my life?
Or were they tears of dismay for bringing the little angel
Into the world that has not changed much when I was born?
Did you cry when we found out I was sick and dying?
Of going through all the pains and treatments
in the hopes of getting better again?
Were they tears of grief for the tragedy that has befallen
Me so early in my life?
Or were they tears of anger at God for allowing such pain to find me?
Tonight I wonder though
When the pain will consume me and only death will release me
Will you cry when I die tomorrow?
Will they be tears of lamentation at having outlived me?
Will they be tears of loss at the thought of missing our togetherness?
Or will it be tears of acceptance that God ultimately decides
And that He has decided?
The winds of time will wipe the trickle of tears from your eyes soon.
And you will find yourself smiling when you remember
That good and bad times we’ve had together.
Think of that wind, Mom, and smile.
And know that I will be that wind, wiping those tears away.

I had a miracle inside of me
A miracle of love and joy
When I discovered that miracle
I knew no bounds
The love was immediate
The shock was brief
Plans were made
Names were discussed
A blanket was bought
A picture was taken
A tiny heart was beating
Happines grew
Then, with no warning
Happiness dimmed
The shock was horrific
Tears fell without limit
I was bound by grief
A picture was cried over
A blanket was held tight
Plans dissolved
Missed by all
Love lasts forever
A tiny heart beats in heaven
You came; you were; you said goodbye...
I did not get to hear you cry,
Nor know the colour of your hair.
The pain is just so hard to bear.
My empty womb cries tears of red.
A gaping hole left there instead.
My broken heart will never mend;
Our new found joy brought to an end.
I loved you more than I can say.
Our souls entwined forever to stay.
Your life within mine somehow did sever -
Your memory lies with me forever...
Sweet Angel Baby
From the moment I knew you were there, it was love.
A love only a mother and baby could share.
The thought of who you were.
My sweet little angel inside.
What would you look like?
What would you be?
Pink or blue, it did not matter to me.
I wanted you more than anything. My little baby of mine.
To hold you in my arms.
To comfort you when you cry.
To see your sweet face, your smile, your eyes.
You are gone from me now, little baby of mine.
That day will forever stay on my mind.
The day that you left me, my heart broke in two.
How will I ever learn to live my life without you?
I tell myself, Its just for a little while.
With that thought, it does bring a smile.
I know you are in heaven. As all angels should be.
Looking down with a smile, and just waiting for me.
You are with me always.
I want you to know.
In my heart and soul, I will never let you go!
Love you sweet angel baby!
Love Mommy

In Loving Memory of My Tiny Precious Angel..........
October 29, 2008
am still a Mommy, I was a Mommy from the start.
What makes me a Mommy is that feeling in my heart.
Pregnant I was, there was a baby inside me.
For some Mommys all it takes is to know, they have planted that seed.
There is a bond that takes place from the moment that you know.
Inside of your body someone special has started to grow.
My baby didn't make it, he is in Heaven up above.
In my heart I'm still his Mommy, I am filled with endless love.
Something happens to a woman when her seedling starts to grow.
Unless you have felt these feelings it is impossible to know.
He meant the world to me and I will never be the same.
All I need is for you to listen when I wish to say his name.
He may be gone but he's not forgotten, I miss him each and every day.
Could you imagine that it would be any other way?
What kind of Mommy would I be if I forgot my son?
I had planned my whole life around him,
all the great things we would have done.
I may have another child, possibly another two.
There is something I know for certain, he will always be my first child,

I saw you in my dreams last night
sitting on the edge of my bed
You held out your hand to me
before you quietly said
Mommy, I am in heaven now
up where the angels play
Mom, I love you
We'll be together again someday
Mom, I have a favor to ask you
please don't cry anymore
I am waiting up here in Heaven
behind Heaven's pearly door
There are lots of people here, mom
some who tell me about you
they tell me how much you love me
and all about daddy too.
Mom, I have to go now
I will visit again some day
Remember that I am happy
and in your heart to stay
I woke up then
and sat up with a start
I knew from the smile on his face
that he would never part.
He told me he was happy
and told me of his plea
he wanted me to smile again
he's watching over me
I saw him in my dreams last night

Though your feet never got to walk,
Your delicate footprints will always be etched in my soul.
Though your eyes never got to weep,
Your silver tears will always haunt my dreams.
Though your lungs never got to fill,
Your undrawn breath will always drift in my breast.
Though your fingers never got to reach,
Your golden touch will always be imprinted on my palm.
Though your lips never got to move,
Your silent words will always echo in my mind.
Though your heart never got to love,
Your beautiful spirit will always be cradled in my arms.
October 29, 2008
Please don't ask me to understand
That's impossible, I don't think I can
You were both made out of precious love
Then you were sent straight above
Your little spirits are not alone, so don't fear
Sara and Raymond, you're together, my dears
My heart will always hold a special place for you
So does another, your Daddy, that's who
I cry tears of pain because you're not here
I used to dream of that day I could hold you near
You both would've loved your sister so
It hurt so much to hear you had to go
You'll both forever be a part of me
You are all my children, Sara, Raymond, and Baylee
No more worries, my angels are safe in Heaven
But that doesn't keep me from wondering how things could've been
The only thing I wish you both knew
That is, from the bottom of my heart... I Love You!

Pain and suffering is to its end in this child's life
We shall not weep for this child, for she is now in a place of beauty
Where there is no war, no hate, and no death
Eternal life is to be brought forth through God by a soft glowing flame:
Strong enough to hold all his children
Containing a prayer that which all prayers are made,
A life, that which all lives are created.
You can't see this flame, yet you always know it is there.
You can't touch this flame, yet you can always feel its presence
This child has now seen God, and God has a need for her.
So, you see, this child did not die, she is reborn.

Child of My Heart
You were the child of my heart -
Born of my womb
Blood of my blood
Bone of my bone.
Now you are gone from me
Too soon.
Tiny, fragile and precious
I held you
For that one and only time
Perfect in my eyes
I loved you.
The time which should have been a beginning
Became an end for me
As you slipped away from this world
To a place of light and
An even greater love than mine.
Through you, I was given a new understanding
A new love as
We shared our bond of life
I received the gift of joy,
Joy beyond measuring.
I felt you grow and live within my belly,
A living part of myself and
Yet separate
A life full of potential and possibilities.
I came to know how precious and how fragile life can be.
Tiny, fragile and precious
Your beauty lives in my heart
Alongside my love
A joy
A love
A beauty
That nothing can destroy
A bond that death cannot break.
A life that is a beginning.

Life Is A Journey
Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey:
From childhood to maturity
and youth to age;
From innocence to awareness
and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to desecration
and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or
from strength to weakness
and often back again;
From health to sickness
and we pray to health again.
From offense to forgiveness
from loneliness to love
from joy to gratitude
from pain to compassion
from grief to understanding
from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat
until looking backwards or ahead
We see that victory lies not
at some high point along the way
but in having made the journey
step by step
a sacred pilgrimage.
Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey;
A sacred journey to life everlasting

I HAD TO GO DADDY
Dear Daddy,
I had to write this to you Daddy to tell you that I love you. I left you without saying goodbye. And Daddy I know that you didn't expect me to leave you like I did. You thought that you would have me around for a long time. Daddy can I tell you what I did while I was with you? I planted seeds in your heart Daddy. Remember the smiles I gave to you? That was my way of saying I Love You. And remember the way that I tried talking to you? Oh it was perhaps just sounds that were heard, but I tried to tell you that you were the best Dad and how happy I was to have you as mine. Oh and the best times for me was when you would pick me up and hold me. I could feel your love and I knew that I was very important to you. I was the Special Blessing that was given to you, and I wished that you had known that it would only be for a short while. And Daddy you know I had to go.
I went quietly in my sleep Daddy and I didn't suffer a bit. I closed my eyes and suddenly I was in Heaven. I know Daddy that you think that there was something that you could have done, but Daddy there wasn't because it was my time to go. Don't blame yourself anymore Daddy. You see Heaven needs little ones too. There are other girls and boys here and I know that their Daddy's miss them too. And Daddy you didn't loose me completely, I am still with you in your heart. I have always been in your heart and I always will be.
Daddy I know your heart has cried for me. I had seen it breaking and I wanted so much to help it to mend. You know that sometimes Daddy God replaces the things that you lose with something that is even more precious. Look closely Daddy and see what God has given to you it is there, but you have to see it not only with your eyes, but also with your heart.
I just want you to know Daddy that I will always be your little girl and I will always love you. Daddy don't blame yourself anymore, let the tears flow freely Daddy. Let healing come into your heart and into your life Daddy. We will be together again Daddy when it is your time to go. That is the hope and the promise that you have to hold onto Daddy. We will be together and you will be able to hold me again. And I will be able to wrap my arms around you and tell you that I love you. The body I was given wasn't strong enough for me Daddy so you see I had to go.
With All My Love for You Daddy,
Your Loving Little Daughter/SON
