~JESUS JOY OF ANGELS~
~Author Unknown~

A bud the Gardner gave us,
A pure and lovely child.
He gave it to our keeping,
To cherish undefiled.

But just as it was opening,
To the glory of the day,
Down came the
Heavenly Gardner
And took our bud away.

~CHILD GONE HOME~
~Author Unknown~

When God call 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 seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
so he picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.

God know how much we need them,
so He only take a few,
to make the land of Heaven,
one beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult,
still somehow we must try,
the two saddest words mankind know,
will always be good-bye.

So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind,
must realize, God loves children,
angels are hard to find.
 

~DEAR CHILD IN HEAVEN~
~Author Unknown~

You were a blessing to us all
you were a special child.
And we're so glad God sent you
to be with us awhile.

You filled our home with happiness
and made our life complete.
The time we had with you
was far too short, but oh so sweet.

Some things we don't find easy
to accept or understand.
Until we realize they're part of
our Creator's perfect plan.

Now it comforts us to know
you're with the angels up above.
While in our hearts we hold you close
Surrounded by our love.
 

~IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY~
~AUTHOR UNKNOWN~

If tears could build a stairway
and memories were a lane
I could walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken
no time to say good-bye
you were gone before I knew it
and only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
and secret tears still flow

what it meant to lose you
no one can ever know.

But now I know you want us
to mourn for you no more
to remember all the happy times
life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
a hallowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
 

~IF LOVE ALONE~
~Author Unknown~

You never said, "I'm leaving."
You never said, "Good-bye."
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a special place,
no one can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone
for part of me went with you,
that day God called you home.
