MY CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear,

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,

but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

for it's beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,

but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.

So, be happy for me dear ones, for you know I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above:

"My undying love!"

After all, "love" is the gift more precious than pure gold.

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,

for I can't count the many blessings or love He has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

His eyes were dim and glassy as he gazed into the sky, He knew he was getting weaker, he knew that he would die. The Lord wrapped his arms around him and took him by the hand, He said "Come with Me, my darling, to God's Eternal land.

The year have passed so quickly and still we miss you so, There are times we can hardly wait til it's our time to go.

 We know God picks the time and place to take our loved hones home, But it is so hard to accept the loss when it is one of your very own.

We know others have lost their loved ones, and this we can't explain And we know it must break God's heart to see his children in such pain.

We cannot judge what happens when tears and questions start, We only see what is visible, but God sees into the heart.

The last night that we spent with you, you were so weak you could not speak, But you formed the words "I Love You" as we wiped tears from your frail, thin cheek.

 Your dreams didn't get accomplished, you didn't get to raise your kids, But you left a lasting impression on all you said and did.

You are now our special angel, and as for sons, we still feel we have two, Cause your are still a special part of our family, you just don't live with us anymore.

 Our smiles try to hide our heartaches and we say we are doing fine, But to those who have experienced death know how it changes you in time.

Every day we are reminded of the good things that you did, You cared so much for others, especially unfortunate kids.

 To some you are forgotten, to others just a dream, But to us who love and miss you those memories ripple like a stream.

 God looked around his garden and saw an empty space, He then took a look around the earth and saw your suffering face.

 He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful, cause He only takes the best.

You tried your best to teach us before you went away, We now have a better understanding of what you tried to say.

Please always know we love you and no one can take your place, Tho' many years can come and go your memory will never be erased.

So when each day starts without you, we won't seem so far apart, every time we think of you, you will be right here in our heart.

 So Jesus if you are listening in your home from up above, Would you kiss our darling son and give him all our love.

Angel Moms 

We have shared our tears and our sorrow,

We have given encouragement to each other,

Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,

We share the title of grieving mother.

Some of us lost older daughters or sons,

 Who we watched grow over the years,

 Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,

 But no matter the age , we cry the same tears.

We understand each others pain,

The bond we share is very strong,

With each other there is no need to explain,

The path we walk is hard and long.

Our children brought us together,

They didn't want us on this journey alone,

 They knew we needed each other,

To survive the pain of them being gone.

So take my hand my friend,

We may stumble and fall along the way,

But we'll get up and try again,

 Because together we can make it day by day.

 We can give each other hope,

We'll create a place where we belong,

 Together we will find ways to cope,

Because we are Angel Moms and together we are strong!

Dear Darko If I could have a lifetime wish

 A dream that would come true.

 I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you.

 A thousand words can't bring you back.

 I know because I've tried.

And neither will a million tears,

I know because I've cried.

 You left behind my broken heart, and happy memories too.

 I never wanted memories though, I only wanted you.
