~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.

~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.
 

~GOD'S LENT CHILD~
~Florence Carres~

"I'll lend you for a little while
a child of mine," God said,
"For you to love the while she lives,
and mourn for when she's dead."

"It may be one or two years
or forty-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 (should her stay be brief)
You'll have her lovely memories
as a solace for your grief."

"I cannot promise she will stay,
since ALL from earth return;
But the lessons taught below
I want this child to learn."

"I've looked the whole world over
in search for teachers true;
And from the things that crowd
Life's lane -- I've chosen you."

"Will you give her all your love?
Nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
the lent child back again?"

"I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For joys Thy child will bring
the risk of grief we'll run."

We Will shelter her with tenderness,
we'll love her while we may,
and for the happiness we've known
forever grateful stay.

But should Thy angels call for her
much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the grief that comes
and try to understand."

~WIND BENEATH MY WINGS~
~Bette Midler~

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked one step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It may have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, 
of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away.  You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touched the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
