A Birthday In Heaven - by Kris Smith

I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.

You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My Birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.

God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).

Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.

There is a Birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.

I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings.

We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts - SURPRISE!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.

With love from your little Angel XX

Precious Child by Karen Taylor Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

Yes it is true that I never got to see all that this world holds
The flowers, trees, grass or a bright sunny day
But in my heart I have seen all of these things, even in my short time

It is also true that I never got to feel the many things that you take for granted
The snow on my face on a cold December day
Finger paints and crayons I will never hold in my hands
But I did feel the loving arms of my mother and father cradling me gently.

I never got to hear all the sounds that make most hearts sing
The laughter of a loved one or the sweet song of a bird.

But the soft touch of my mother's hands shouts to me all of this and more.

I would never have known the joy of running through a field of flowers
Never would I roll down the side of a hill to dizzy to stand
Hide and seek, tag and dodge ball I would have missed
In my mind I will do all of these things and more.

You all may see it as me missing out on all of these things by leaving you so soon
But where I am going I will do, see and hear everything you do and more
All of the people that have passed before me are waiting to make that come true
I will always think of good things, for in my short time that is all I know.

So don't cry for me
I am doing all that you have all wished for me,
and from my time here with you
I will know nothing but love and that I will take with me.

The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says of our love for you.

From the beginning i loved you, so deep and true,
Plans were made, for me and you.
My tiny baby growing inside me,
Stronger day by day, wondering how you will be.
Then comes the news that leaves me heartbroken,
my beauitful baby, my grief awoken.
I think about you daily, wondering why lifes unfair.
I talk to those around me, hoping they care.
Now they'll never be a you and me,
only in our hearts, not for all to see.
Now you're in heaven looking down from above,
I'm sitting here lost in our love.


r.i.p hayden. hope you got the balloon yesterday. xx

Look to the sky at night
Not with your eyes
But with your heart
And witness the star
That twinkles so bright
It always stands apart xx

He Was Special ................ by Sam Winson

Hayden was so very, very special,
And was so from the start,
You held him in your arms,
But mainly in your heart.

And like a single drop of rain,
That on still waters fall,
His life, ripples did make,
And touched the lives of all.

He’s gone to play with Angels,
In heaven up above,
So keep your special memories,
And treasure them with love.

Although your darling Son,
Was with you just a while,
He’ll live on in your heart,
With a sweet, remembered smile.
