~ For Bereaved Parents ~

'Twas the month before Christmas and I dreaded the days,
That I knew I was facing - the holiday craze.
The stores were all filled with holiday lights,
In hopes of drawing customers by day and by night.

As others were making their holiday plans,
My heart was breaking - I couldn't understand.
I had lost my dear child a few years before,
And I knew what my holiday had in store.

When out of nowhere, there arose such a sound,
I sprang to my feet and was looking around,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The sight that I saw took my breath away,
And my tears turned to smiles in the light of the day.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a cluster of butterflies fluttering near.
With beauty and grace they performed a dance,
I knew in a moment this wasn't by chance.

The hope that they gave me was a sign from above,
That my child was still near me and that I was loved.
The message they brought was my holiday gift,
And I cried when I saw them in spite of myself.

As I knelt closer to get a better view,
One allowed me to pet it - as if it knew -
That I needed the touch of its fragile wings,
To help me get through the holiday scene.

In the days that followed I carried the thought,
Of the message the butterflies left in my heart -
That no matter what happens or what days lie ahead,
Our children are with us - they're not really dead.

Yes, the message of the butterflies still rings in my ears,
A message of hope - a message so dear.
And I imagined they sang as they flew out of sight,
"To all bereaved parents - We love you tonight!"

Your Wondering If I'll Celebrate

My Birthday (Way Up Here)

I Know Your Missing Me Today

I Feel Your Essence Near.

God Planned A Special Day For Me

He Told Me With A Wink

He Ordered Me A Special Cake

(It's Angel Food I Think)

I'm Getting Lots Of Hugs From God

He's Really Good At That

And Every Time That I Walk By

He Gives My Head A Pat

Balloons Will Fill The Streets For Me

They Float Up Through The Clouds

And We Have Lots Of Clowns Up Here

That Make Us Laugh Out Loud

There's A Birthday Carousel

Jeweled Horses Ride The Wind

With Music Playing. Oh So Sweet....

The Magic Never Ends.

You are mummy`s little prince

But you’re in heaven now

She dream`s that she could hold you

And wish`s she knew how

You will always be your mummy`s prince

She’ll always keep you in her heart

Until some day she see`s you

Then you`s won’t be apart

So be happy little prince

In Gods heaven up above

And everyday till you meet again

She will send you all her love.

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

Happy Mothers Day to you,

and may peace fill your heart

as you and your sweet baby spend

this mothers day apart

My thoughts and prayers are with you

on this Mothers Day

for you have seen your hopes and dreams

softly slip away

Happy Mothers Day to you

you deserve nothing less

for you have borne the burden

of loss and emptiness.

You have earned the right to roses

or daisies in chubby hands

but all I can offer to you

is a friend who understands.

There's so much pain and sorrow

when things turn out this way

but we share a special bond

on this special day.

So happy Mothers Day, my friend

may it bring some joy to you

for you have loved that special way

that only mothers do.

A Mother’s Day Wish From Heaven PDF Print E-mail

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear

A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.

I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card

A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine

Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.

She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside

I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know

that though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.

She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,

Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.

She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night

She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells

She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth

I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth

She needs to be honored, and remembered too

Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best

I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.

Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me

Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Christmas time brings Lots of joy,
for every little girl and boy ,
but you've lost a child dear,
You wonder what christmas
brings them each year.

Though christmas time is full of glee
deep in your heart where people can't see,
You feel sad and full of grief,
For those children that do not breathe.

When everyone is unwrapping their gifts,
You hope to your angel santa will give
A special present to make them smile
Although You know you
won't see it for a while.

So happy Christmas
to those girls and boys,
To whom their Parents can't give toys,
And a happy new year to all that are sad
I hope this coming year

makes you all Glad ...
