Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush; of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. ~~~~~AUTHOR UNKNOWN~~~~~

I thought of you and closed my eyes; and prayed to God today.  I asked "What makes a Mother?" and I know I heard him say...A mother has a baby, this we know is true.  But God, can you be a Mother when your baby's not with you?  Yes, you can, He replied with confidence in His voice.  I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice.  Some I send for a lifetime; and others for a day, And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay.  I just don't understand this, God, I want my baby here.  He took a deep breath and cleared His throat, and then I saw a tear.  I wish I could show you what your child is doing today.  If you could see your child smile with other children and say; "We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear, My Mommy loved me Oh so much, I got to come straight here.  I feel so lucky to have a Mom, who had so much love for me.  I learned my lessons very quickly, my Mommy set me free.  I miss my Mommy Oh so much I visit her each day.  When she goes to sleep, on her pillow is where I lay.  I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek; and whisper in her ear "Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here."  So, you see, my dear sweet one, your children are OK.  Your babies are here in My home; and this is where they'll stay.  They'll wait for you with Me, until your lesson is through.  And on the day that you come home, they'll be at the gates for you.  So, now you see what makes a Mother, it's the feelings from your heart.  It's the love you had so much of, right from the very start. ~~~~~~JENNIFER WASIK~~~~~~

"I'll See you In Heaven" Thank you Mom and Dad, for the little time we had together. Now I'm on my way to Heaven, and without you, it will seem forever. As I strolled through Heaven's Gates, I was greeted by a Heavenly Host. They said, "Follow us, oh little one. We will show you who loves you most." "Look through Heaven's portals." As I gazed through the portal looking down... there you stood Mom and Dad, with a bright light all around. Now I know you are not alone, I saw Jesus by your side. He will help you with all your sorrow. With you, He will always abide. I asked our Lord, here in heaven, as He sat me on His knee, please, when it's time for you both to come, that your souls will again, be with me. I know it's hard for you to understand, that my time there on earth was so very short, But always keep me in your memories, As we keep our love alive in each other's heart. Look toward the heavens, you will see my star shining bright. Thank God for all of your blessings, I'll visit you in your dreams each night. I love you more than when you gave me birth, And I thank you for the life to me, you gave. A crown of pearls is waiting for each of you, for my soul you gave to Him to save. by Leslie M. Willson

Hi Mommy It's me, your little Angel Just checking in with you. I know you're sad because I'm gone, and Mommy I'm sad too. It's beautiful here, wherever I am, there's such a lovely view. But mostly when I'm sitting here I'm looking down at you. I see all your feelings, everyday when I look down, I love to see you smile and I know sometimes you frown. But guess what ? I have a job to do. God saved it for your little girl. I get to watch over you and protect you from the world. So though you cannot see me and I know it's hard on you, You'll surely see the benefits of the job God has me do.
