The whole day was a blur,
I remember my whole Family
coming and going,
Giving me hugs and trying to consol me,
the next day
I cried all day,
The next Day was His Funeral,
I had a closed casket
and just immediate family.

See ms like as
time went on that
I missed him more
My Dad was sitting on porch
one day and said;
He never wanted to see a
grandchild die again,
He got His wish,
Just when it was
easing up abit,
Three months after Ray died,

My Dad passed away too,
My Precious Dad died 6/23/77

A Very Bad Year

~I'LL Lend You A Child~

I'LL Lend you,
for a little while,
a child of mine God said,
For you to love while he lives,
and to mourn when he is gone,

IT may be 6 months
or 7 years,
or twenty two or three,
But will you,
till I call him back
take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms
to gladden you and shall
his stay be brief,
You'll have his memories,
as solace for your grief,
I cannot promise
he will stay as all
from earth return,
But there are lessons taught
down there that
I want this child to learn,

I've looked the
wide world over in search for
teachers true,
and from the throngs that
crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give him
all your love and not think
of the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come
to call to take him home again.

I fancied that
I heard them say Dear Lord,
thy will be done,
For all the joy
this child bring the risk
of grief we'll run.

We'll shower him
with tenderness and love him
while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
forever grateful stay.
And should the
Angels call for him sooner
than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief
that comes and
try to understand

A meeting was held
quite far from earth
"IT's time again for
another birth<

Said the Angels to the
Lord above
"This special child will
need much Love
His progress may be slow

Accomplishments
He may not show
And He'll reguire extra care
From folks down there

"He may not run,
laugh,
or play

His thoughts may
even seem guite far away
In many ways he wont adapt
And he'll be known as handicapped"

So's let's be careful
where he's sent

We want his
life to be content
Please Lord,find the parents who
Will do this
special job for You

They will not realize
it right away
The special role they're
asked to play

But with this child sent from above

Comes a riches
much stronger than Love
"Soon they'll know
the privilege given

In caring for this
gift from Heaven
Their precious gift meek
and mild

He is

"Heaven's Special Child"

A Rose

When God calls
little ones to dwell with Him above,
We that are left
behind question the
Wisdom of His Love,

For no heartache can comepare
with the death
of one small child,

Who does so much
to make this world
seem so wonderful and mild,
Perhaps God tires of

calling the aged to his fold,
And so he picks
a rosebud before it
can grow old,

God knows how much we
love and need them
so he picks but a few,
To make the land of

Heaven more beautiful to view
Believing this is difficult,
Still some how we must try,

The saddest word
that mankind knows
will always be goodbye,

And so when little ones depart,
We who are left
behind must realize,
How much God loves
little children and Angels are
hard to find.

MEMORIES

Memories of you blur
in my mind
And in my life
I'm struggling to find,

The answers to questions,
I'm trying to face While
dreaming of you
in that heavenly place.
I know you're at peace,

I know you're at ease
I just long to hold you
or drift away on a breeze.

Together at last for
now and always
I know it can't be
but with you my heart stays,

So until that day
we shall meet again
I'll be thinking of you
and loving without end,

You've given a gift
that's larger than life

You've taught me
to be a good mother

Though how can a
baby so precious and small
Have all of the
answers rolled up in a ball?

Your soul is eternal,
so giving so free

But oh how I wish
you were just
here with me.
Your brother is here
now and I know you can
tell He's brought us a peace
that you know so well.

I pray so that
God will uncover my eyes

And bless me to
be with you in the skies.
For now I'll remain
on this life's broken path

Enduring this trial of
the bitter aftermath.

Each day turns to months,
months into years,
The world keeps on turning
and won't stop for my tears.

Oh cherished angel in
heaven above

Don't cry for me
as I feel your sweet love.
For all that you've
given will not go to waste

I've learned much from your
parting not disregarding in haste.

Yes I am your mother
though not by your side
We are together like the
moon to the tide.

And you are my moon,
My Sweet Little Baby

Never leaving my heart,
for this I do pray.

Hidden Wings

Sweet baby boy,
we know you have gone

We know that Jesus
welcomed you,
and gently kissed your face.

Now those who held
you here on earth
must try to understand

Why they had to
let you go to
take Jesus's hand.

With a heavy heart,
those left on earth
bow their heads and pray.

If only we
could hear you speak,
I think we would hear you say

I love you all so very much,
just as you love me.
I see you crying
don't be sad

I'm here on Jesus's knee
He told me I can
wait with him until
you join us here.

Now I can watch
you from above,
and let you know I'm near.

Maybe you've been
wondering just what
I do up here.

Close your eyes and listen:
I'll whisper in your ear.

In Heaven, all is
soft and warm,
The air smells oh,
so Sweet and Clean.

The angels make me giggle,
when their wings
tickle my feet!

Then I smile,
the angels sigh,
and gently kiss my cheek.

Happy children use
fluffy clouds for
games of hide and seek.

Upon a cloud I
lay my head,

It's soft as it can be.
Those who welcomed me
here above,
wrap a blanket of
love around me.

The twinkling stars
dance all around,
and smile as I close my eyes.

For I know we'll be
together soon,
and then you'll realize.

That life on earth
is a blink of an eye,
in the big scheme of things.

And I've always
been an angel,
(While on earth
I hid my wings
