Little Saints

When God calls little children to dwell with HIM above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of HIS love,
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world so wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to HIS fold,
so HE picks a little rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we nee them, so He takes but a few
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankinds knows will always be "goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children.......little Saints are had to find.

As I Remember

As I remember you my child,
I think of how I miss you.
I see your face before me,
In almost everything I do.

You gave me so much happiness,
A reason to face each day.
The times that we were all alone,
Love sustained us along the way.

One could not ask for a sweeter child,
Than the one God gave to me.
Even if just for a few short years,
On earth He let you be.

I won't forget the love we shared,
Your laughter and your smile.
Your love and kindness for all others,
Will be remembered all the while.

And now I will put my trust,
Into the hands of our Father above.
Knowing you were a part of His plan,
For His children that He does love.

To All Parents

by Edgar Guest

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of Mine," He said.
"For you to love the while she lives
And mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty
two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And shall her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories as
solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay, since
all from earth return
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call to take
her back again?

I fancied that I heard them say:
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
we'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay;
But shall the angels call for her much
sooner than we've planned

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

To Daddy

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.
Daddy, 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, Daddy, someday.

Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you Daddy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.

Guess What Mommy & Daddy?

Guess what mommy & daddy,
Heaven is great
Just like you said,
There's not much longer to wait.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
I have a guardian angel who comes at night.
I told him I wanted to go,
But the times not right.

Guess what mommy & daddy,

My angel came this morning.
While you were still in bed,
He came with a warning.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
When I left with June.
So you could rest some more,
I knew my time was soon.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
When you were finally out of sight,
I told my angel,
The time is just right.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
When you still didn't know I was gone,
My angel put his hand in mine,
And I was no longer stiff or sick,I felt so happy & fine.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
When the hospital called,I saw you crying from above.
I saw daddy & how scared he was,
And I knew how much I was loved.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
On the way to the hospital I heard you pray,
Let them bring me back,
I know you don't want God to take me away.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
I saw you walk into the ER,and ask is she gone.
I saw the look on your face when the nurse said yes! It looked like you'd never go on.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
I saw you holding me tight.
I kissed you good-bye with my love,
And tried to tell you I was alright.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
There's no more pain,
You can go on with your life,
And not feel so drained.

Guess what mommy & daddy,
I'll wait for you all your days through.
And be like your guardian angel,
Just because, I LOVE YOU!!
