Your Soul Will Fly

I saw your picture
I felt your kick
Your heartbeat so strong
How could you possibly be sick

Your sweet nose
Your beautiful face
Your ten perfect toes
I know I could never replace

The dream of a child
In a strong and healthy body
The dream was shattered
My mind left scattered

I said goodbye to you
Your precious life I will cease to hold
The world became brighter
When God took your soul

The pain so deep
The hurt so strong
A decision was made
Both of which were wrong

Can you forgive us for making this choice
We made it for you
Though you had no voice

I hope you can feel our love up above
And know that we made this choice
Completely out of love

In this physical world
Your little body at war
But in God's loving arms
Your soul will soar.

Electric Heart

In your heart, a light shone so bright.
Evidence of such incredible flaws, but ironically I smiled at the sight.
What an odd sign from God that my child would be sick

A little soul shone electric

When the sun disappears and the stars come out to play.
I dream of seeing you again someday.
Your star is the brightest.
In the heavens it will stay,
watching over mortal children day by day.

My Incomplete One

You were concevied with love but,
part of you was missing
In my heart you were complete
Without opening your eyes,
without knowing your laughter
You came to change my live

For eighteen weeks
I felt your warmth
I felt your kicks
I felt your love
I felt your death

But, now I know you are in a better place
And I know that you are complete
But, I'am here on earth missing
your life in my life.

For Christina

I never knew I wanted you
till you were here.
Now life without you seems incomplete.
From the moment I knew you were coming I had a sense of pride
Now you are gone.
My heart breaks missing you
more each day.
I long for you to be in my arms
but God
has you in His.
He may have chosen you
to be His angel
But remember my child
I will hold you in my heart forever.

Dedicated to my sweet Christina Lynn
Mommy loves you

For Ethan William, who was born and died on Janury 27,2003 at 9:43 pm
He was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, and a major heart condition

Jesus, there's a baby at your gate
so tiny and small
'neath the wings of an angel you sent to his call.

Please tell him of us,
his family on earth.
How we love him and miss him,
our hearts full of hurt.

Play in your sunshine
of heaven above,
Fill his life with happiness,
health and Your love.

Play football and tag,
all the things young boys do,
With angels and loved ones,
but mostly with you.

And on summer days
take him down to the sea,
Where he can swim with dolphins,
And ride waves on the sea.

When his birthday rolls 'round
Put a kiss on his cake,
(Be sure that it's chocolate,
that's the kind that I'd make).

Can I ask one more thing, Lord?
Each night as I lay down my head,
Will you hug him and kiss
his sweet tiny head?
Tell him we love him
And wanted him so,
We know that he loves us,
And why he had to go.
