~ Death Of A Child ~
written by: Sandy Eakle
Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry that I had to die.
God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.
Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.
God didn't take me cause He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious .. don't you see?
Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy, someday.
Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.

~ God's Promise ~
written by: Author Unknown
God hath not promised
skies always blue,
flower-strewn pathways all our lives through,
God hath not promised
sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God hath promised
strength for the day,
rest for the labor, light for the way.
God hath promised
grace for the trials,
help from above, unfailing sympathy,
UNDYING LOVE...

~ I'll Never Let You Go ~
Submitted by Tina ~ Mommy of Angel Daniel
written by: Steelheart
Angel eyes, you have angel eyes
Such a smile that lights up my life.
You're a dream come true
Now I'm holding you, and I'll never, never let you go.
First time I laid my eyes upon you
All my dreams were answered.
First time I kissed you tender head
My love to you I surrendered.
I'll never let you go.
You're always on my mind.
You're the only one for me
You're all I need, and I'll never, never let you go.
Angel eyes, my heart relies on the love you give to me.
You never let me down, you're always by my side
and I'll never, never let you go.
When my heart starts to crumble
and the tears start to fall.
You hold me close with tender lovin'
and give me strength to carry on.
I'll never let you go.
You're always on my mind
You're the only one for me
You're all I need, and I'll never, never let you go.

~ The Cord ~
written by: Unknown Author
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

~ The Broken Cord ~
written by: Unknown Author
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It 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 cannot see you,
You are always at 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.

~ Mention My Child ~
written by: Elizabeth Dent
Go ahead and mention my child,
The one who died you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further,
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry.
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending she didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that she has been missed.
You asked me how I was doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine."
But healing is something ongoing.
I feel it will take a lifetime.

~ Pennies From Heaven ~
written by: Author Unknown
I found a penny today
just laying on the ground
But it is not just a penny
this little coin I've found...
Found pennies come from Heaven
that's what my Grandpa once told me
He said Angels toss them down
oh, how I loved that story...
He said when an Angel misses you
they toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
and make a smile out of your frown...
So don't pass by that penny
when you are feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
that an Angel has tossed to you.....
