Our Dear Kelsey

Mother's Song

I've lost my baby daughter, Though not misplaced.I feel she's somewhereBound by neither time nor space.Perhaps she sits before the ThroneWith radiant face. She could be dancing happilyLike little girls doWith golden taps beneathEach precious little shoe.I know she must love music,So I'm sure it's true. I'm grateful that in HeavenShe is healthy and strongAnd that she's lulled to sleep each nightBy Heaven's song,But I wish I could hold her;Is that terribly wrong? I sang so often to herWhile she was with meAnd I will go on listeningFor her harmony. How sweet to know I'll hear it In eternity.

Tiny Angels

Tiny Angels rest your wingssit with me for awhile.How I long to hold your hand,And see your tender smile.Tiny Angel, look at me,I want this image clear....That I will never get to see your faceIs my biggest fear.Tiny Angel can you tell me,Why you have gone away?You weren't here for very long....Why is it, you couldn't stay?Tiny Angel shook his head,"These things I do not know....But I do know that you love me,And that I love you so

I have not turned my back on you So there is no need to cry. I'm watching you from heaven Just beyond the morning sky.

I've seen you almost fall apart When you could barely stand. I asked an angel to comfort you And watched her take your hand.

She told me you are in more pain Than I could ever be. She wiped her eyes and swallowed hard Then gave your hand to me.

Although you may not feel my touch Or see me by your side. I've whispered that I love you While I wiped each tear you cried.

So please try not to ache for me We'll meet again one day. Beyond the dark and stormy sky A rainbow lights the way.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane,We would walk right up to heavenTo bring you down again.No farewell words were spoken,No time to say good-bye.You were gone before we knew it,And only God knows why.Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow,What it meant to lose you,No one will ever know.When we are sad and lonely,And everything goes wrong,We seem to hear you whisper"Cheer up and carry on."Each time we look at your pictures, You seem to smile and say,"Don't cry, I'm only sleeping,We'll meet again someday.

They Say There is a Reason

They say there is a reason,They say that time will heal,But neither time nor reason,Will change the way I feel,For no-one knows the heartache,That lies behind our smiles,No-one knows how many times,We have broken down and cried,We want to tell you something,So there won't be any doubt,You're so wonderful to think of,But so hard to be without.

Little Snowdrop

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 plantedIs 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.

"Daddy please don't look so sad, momma please don't cry. Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies. Please try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.

Don't think he sent me to you and then changed his mind. You see I'm a special child, I am needed up above.

I'm the special gift you gave Him, a product of your love. I'll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night.

Look for the brightest star and know that's my halo's brilliant light. You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.

That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain. When you feel a gentle breeze from a gentle wind that blows.

Know that it's me planting a kiss upon your nose. When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,

Don't be sad mommy, that's just me giving your heart a hug. So daddy don't looks so sad and momma please don't cry.

I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies!
