Quotes and Poems.

I thought of you today,

but that is nothing new.

I thought of you yesterday,

and days before that too.

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and,

your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake,

from which I'll never part.

God has you in his arms,

I have you in my heart.

Can you be a Mother when your baby is not with you?  

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 God, can you be a mother when your baby’s not with you?”  

“Yes you can,” He replied 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 the day and 

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 to be here.”  

He took a deep breath and cleared His throat, and then I saw the tear.

  “I wish I could show you, what your child is doing today.  

If you could see your child’s smile, with all the 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 lessons very quickly, my mommy set me free.

  I miss my mommy oh so much but I visit her everyday.  

When she goes to sleep on her pillows 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 ones, your children are okay. 

 Your babies are born here in my home and this is where they’ll stay.  

They’ll wait for you with me until your lessons through. 

 And on the day that you come home they’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 realize you are a mother until their time is done. 

 They’ll be up here with me one day and know that you are the best one.

While your baby learns how to walk

my baby learns how to fly!

Broken Chain

We knew little that morning that

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

in death we do the same.

I broke our hearts to lose you,

you did not go alone;

for part of us went with you,

the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,

your love is still our guide;

and though we can not see you

you're always by our side.

Our family chain is broken,

and nothing seems the same;

but as God calls us one by one,

the chain will link again.

Please don't tell me

"At least you have other children."

Which one of 

>>>YOURS<<<

would you give back?

~~~~~~~~~

I only miss you when 

I'm breathing.

~~~~~~~~~

I keep myself busy

with things to do,

but every time I pause

I still think of you.

~~~~~~~~~

The strongest person in the world

is a grieving Mother who

wakes up and keeps going every morning.

~~~~~~~~~

Everyone thinks I've gotten better,

I haven't

I've just gotten better at hiding it.

~~~~~~~~~

You will always be

the first thing I think of

when someone says

"Make a wish!".

~~~~~~~~~

After the funeral and
everybody's gone home,
where do you go?
It was like there was
a big reception and
everybody came, but I
was left with the mess.
I was left with me.
~~~~~~~~~

I loved you like there was no tomorrow,

and then one day there wasn't.

~~~~~~~~~

Some only dream of angels,

I held on in my arms.

~~~~~~~~~

An angel in the book of life,

wrote down my baby's birth.

Then whispered as she closed the book,

"Too beautiful for Earth".

~~~~~~~~~

Easy for you to say,

"God needed another angel."

Since God didn't ask you

for yours.

Mommy, mommy, 
please don't cry. 
I'm in heaven now, 
so dry your eyes. 
God is keeping me safe and warm, 
just as you did from the day I was born. 
We don't know for sure why this happened to me, 
but in your heart, mind and soul I will always be.
We need to cherish the memories,
till the day you're here with me.
Think of all the times you made me laugh, and smile.
That should make you feel better mommy.. just for awhile?
Even though I passed away so young,
I'm still living mommy,
and still so strong.
You made me the little boy I am today,
now let God take over he has his ways.
I'm an Angel now mommy,
watching over you,
So please don't hurt or cry,
I will feel it too.
Oh I wanted to let you know I have received my wings,
When we see each other again,
I will teach you how to use these things.
I want you to laugh mommy,
and I will too,
I know its so hard and you can't feel my touch,
but just remember mommy,
I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH.

Please don't tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost your child too,
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal,
Because that is just not true,
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place,
Though it is true, I want him here with me,
Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face,
Beyond today I cannot see,
Don't tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot,
Don't tell me to face the fact he is gone,
Because denial is something I can't stop,
Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had,
Because I wanted more,
Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,
I'll never be as I was before,
What you can tell me is you will be here for me,
That you will listen when I talk of my child,
You can share with me my precious memories,
You can even cry with me for a while,
And please don't hesitate to say his name,
Because it is something I long to hear everyday,
Friend please realize that I can never be the same,
But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday.
