My Angel was born on saturday 2/19/77, He weighed 6lbs,10 ounces,He had so much hair,He looked like a little girl,So Sweet.
.No thing seemed to be wrong with him,Took him to the doctor the day before he died for his first shot,
He had gained 4 pounds in five weeks,she(the doctor) said, he was healthy
putting a ribbon in it and putting his rattle up to his mouth, like a sucker and He smiled at us,
Was the first time he smiled,
We went to bed that night,
he had his bottle about 11.00pm and never woke
up.
a very rude awakening,she yelled;
Susie, Ray is dead,he's cold,needless to say I called
my Mom and the police.
he's still alive,
The ambulance came,My Sis, Sandy
and I rode in it too.
The whole day was a blur,I remember my whole Family coming and going,
Giving me hugs and trying to console
me,the next day I cried all day, 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 se 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, 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 ...Author Unknown 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" 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 In caring for this gift from Heaven Their
precious gift meek and mild "Heaven's Special
Child" 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. This Poem Helped Me So Much When Ray
Died
The answers to questions, I'm trying to face While
dreaming of you in that heavenly
place. I know you're at ease I just long to hold you
or drift away on a breeze. So until that day we shall meet
again You've taught me to be a good mother and
wife. Though how can a baby so precious and small
Have all of the answers rolled up in a
ball?
But oh how I wish you were just here with
me. 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. And you are my moon, My Sweet Little Baby
Never leaving my heart, for this I do pray. Sweet baby boy, we know you have gone to a far
better place. 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. Close your eyes and listen: I'll
whisper in your ear. The angels make me giggle, when their wings
tickle my feet! Happy children use fluffy clouds for
games of hide and seek. 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,
~I'LL Lend You A Child~
