~ A Christmas Poem ~
written by:
Misty Bullard
Here's to the ones we've loved and miss.
The ones we can't put upon our list.
The ones who made our Christmas bright.
The ones we cant tuck in that special night.
The ones we lost for unknown reasons.
There's a memory in every season.
The one's that bring a Christmas tear.
That sometimes carries on through the year.
The ones who we can never replace.
That add those holiday smiles on our face.
The ones who gave their lives at war.
That make you wonder, exactly, what for?
The ones who paid the highest price.
TO help protect anothers life.
Christmas is a time for rejoicing and joy,
and so you'll know I miss my little boy,
This comes as a Christmas thought for him and all the others.
This comes from all the hurting Mothers.
It's supposed to get easier as time goes by,
so how come Christmas always makes me cry?
I know your in a better place,
so I cry with a smile on my face.
Cause I know that in spirit, your right here.
And the Bible makes it so perfectly clear.
I will see you again during all of the seasons.
And although it hurts, you died for a reason.
The Christmas tears all come from me missing you,
and I know without a doubt you miss me too.
So rather than spend my Christmas blue,
I sat down and wrote these thoughts for you.
I'll rejoice what you were, and always will be.
And I'll leave you a present under the tree.
Oh, and could you tell God hello for me?

~ David's Poem ~
written by:
Francesca Digiorgio
God saw I needed someone to love and help to see me through.
So he called on all his precious angels and then selected you.
You broke down the walls to my heart and showed me how to see.
Teach me lessons I needed to learn, made me the person I needed to be.
Yet he took you back so suddenly for me it felt to soon.
For reasons far beyond a mothers understanding, your wings flew you back
into the night sky, to a path lighted by the glow of the moon.
Now my heart is broken and I often feel alone,
for I know that in this lifetime you will never come home.
Yet whenever I feel lonely I know you are always near.
I see you in your sisters smile I know you are always there.
You are there in the stars of the night sky.
Sleeping in the curve of the moon.
On the wings of butterflies and in a flowers first bloom.
You are there in a summers warm breeze, on snow flakes kissing my lips,
Swimming through the bluest of seas and on top of snowy mountain tips.
I know god holds you in his arms and cherishes your heart so true.
For there are only a handfull of angels as precious to him as you.
And I know in heaven there is grampa to comfort my little boys cries.
Kiss him for me, watch him play and sing him sweet lullabyes.
So till the day I hold you again I'll brave through the hard time and sorrows,
Through this pain, with strength from you, I'll pray for better tommorows.
I'll wait my whole life to hold you again and when God's test is through,
I'll hope I have done enough good in God's eyes to finally be with you.

~ A Mother's Heart ~
written by:
Patricia Clausi
Inside I'm crying, every minute of every day
I long to see your face and say the things I didn't say.
Memories are painful, and minutes I didn't hold dear,
I'd give all I could ever have, just to have you near.
Mourning has not broken, I don't think it ever will,
There's nothing on this earth, that void could ever fill.
Your spirit was so desperate, I didn't know the depth,
For all the love I gave you, it now seems so inept.
I think about the first time, I saw your little face,
The love I felt as I held you in a mother's embrace.
I said I hardly know you, and already love you so much,
With your hand in my hand, the warmth in that touch.
Each day I plead with God, for just one minute with you,
I'd tell you I was sorry for all the things I didn't do.
I'd long to hold you close, and hear you say, "hey ma",
I'd have the time to sit with you, and you could play guitar.
Life got so busy, I lost sight along the way,
I took for granted that you would always stay.
If only I could go back, and not have this regret,
This hard learned lesson, I never would forget.
There's nothing in life, compares to our family and you,
Just how deep my love was, I pray somehow you knew.
I can only hold onto our family, and try to let them know,
My hearts attached to your's and theirs, and I'll never let go.
I can't say goodbye, I'll say till I see you again,
I pray you walk with Jesus, and He says, "My friend."
I'll picture you in Heaven, in peace and harmony,
And long for the day, you will once again, be with me.
I love you my son,
Your mother

~ Parent's of a Saint ~
written by: Sister Kathleen Gibbons
A little bit of Heaven
Came to both of you one day,
Then soon this little breath of God
Was suddenly snatched away;
The joy you built within your hearts
Has now turned into grief,
You feel that nothing found in life
Could ever bring relief.
Nay, parents, if you`ll meditate
You`ll find it otherwise,
The greif you have is really
But a blessing in disguise;
The waters of eternal life,
Have freed your babe of taint,
`Twas meant by God that you
Should be the parent's of a saint.

~ Fabrizia ~
written by: Kirsten Burridge
Mommy to Fabrizia
I held your little fingers curled
and watched you leave this lonely world
My heart was torn apart, in two
I am so badly missing you.
I think of how you used to smile,
and even though it's been a while,
my heart is still an empty space
with days that still, I cannot face.
The long dark winter's turned to spring,
with nature's beauty, birds that sing,
but I'm so sad you're missing this
I have no little face to kiss...
The park, the swans - you used to look
at pictures in your story book.
Your teddies lined against the wall,
they badly miss you one and all.
I see your bus from school go by,
I feel the tears well up and cry
I wish my darling I could be
just near to you -so desperately!
My only thought to help me through
that angels looking after you,
will send a message from above
of hope, and everlasting love.

~ Moments To Memories ~
written by: Autumn Ater
Mommy to Robert
My precious sweet child
Up in Heaven above
How I miss your lovely smile
You are my forever love
To have one of such beauty
How happy God must be
The joy and love you bring
For all those there to see
My memories here are cherished
From moments I hold deep
Within my heart tucked all away
Where tears are mine to weep
Yet I know God does catch them
And puts them in a special place
Where one day He will reveal to me
His purpose and His grace
I miss you my sweet child
Your face I long to touch
I never knew it would be so hard
To love someone so much
But God blessed me with an Angel
Though human in disguise
Because He is almighty
Loving, True and Wise
So for now I have these Moments
That have turned to Memories
And I will look forward to the day
When we share Eternity!
I miss you my baby.
Love, Mama

~ Letter To Mom ~
written by: Joy Curnutt
Mommy to Jason
Mom, Please don't feel guilty,
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some, it's not many years.
I don't want you to keep crying,
You are shedding so many times.
I haven't really left you,
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home
,
And I'm closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name,
I'm standing next to you.
I know you long to see me,
But there's nothing I can do.
But I'll still send you messages,
And hope you understand.
That when your time comes to"cross over"
I'll be there to take your hand.
