| You Never Said Goodbye You never said I'm leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why A million times I needed you, A million times I cried If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, The day God took you home... by Dorothy Furguson |
| Sometimes love is for a moment. Sometimes love is for a lifetime. Sometimes a moment is a lifetime. - Pamela S. Adams, The Compassionate Friends |
| Go ahead and mention my child, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hide. I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending she didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that she has been missed. You asked me how I was doing. I say "pretty good" or "fine". But healing is something ongoing. I feel it will take a lifetime. - Elizabeth Dent |

| Why God Takes Children When God calls little children To dwell with Him above, We mortals sometimes question The wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with, The death of one small child, Who does so much to make our world, Seem so wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling The aged to His fold, So He picks a rosebud Before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, And so He takes but a few, To make the land of heaven More beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult Still somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows will always be Good-bye. So when a little child departs, We who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find. -Author Unknown |
