| If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven to bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say good-bye. You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. author unknown |
| 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 have tried. And neither will a million tears, I know because I have cried. You left behind my broken heart and happy memories too. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. author unknown |
| Do Not Stand At My Grave Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain. I am the shining star at night, When you awake to the morning light. My time has come, I am at rest, I am the sunset in the west, I am the clouds that race above, Where I watch over those I love. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. So, here the words that here I say, I am the love that guides your way. ~ author unknown |
| I am still his mother In a baby castle, just beyond my eye My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy. Whom am I to wish him back into this world of strife? No, play on my baby, you have eternal life. At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes, I'll hear his tiny footsteps come running to my side. His little hands caress me so tenderly and sweet, I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes and embrace him in my sleep No I have a treasure I rate above all other, I have know true glory~I am still his mother.

| IRIS-- by Goo Goo Dolls and from the 1998 movie "City of Angels" And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything seems like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know your alive And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am |
| Rainbows would never be rainbows If sunshine had never met rain No one would ever need comfort If there was no sadness and pain But life holds both sunshine and showers The days aren't all bright and fair So look through the showers for the rainbows You'll always find hope shining there ~anonymous |
| Somebody Somebody said it was all for the best, that something was probably wrong. Somebody said it was meant to be, Different verse, same miserable song. Somebody said, "You can have another!" As if that would make it alright. Somebody said "It was not a real child." Somebody's not very bright. Somebody thinks it is helpful To say when grieving should end. Somebody shows their true colors. Somebody isn't a friend. But somebody said, "I'm sorry." And sat quietly by my side. And somebody shared my sorrow And held my hand when I cried. And somebody always listened And called my lost baby by name. And somebody understood That I'd never again be the same. |
| Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead. Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. ~ W.H. Auden |

| My mom is a survivor My mom is a survivor or so I've heard it said but I can hear her crying at night when all others are in bed I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand she doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand But like the sands on the beach that never wash away.... I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day. She wears a smile for others.... a smile of disguise! But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive As I watch over my surviving mom through Heaven's open door.... I try to tell her that angels protect me forevermore I know that doesn't help her.... or ease the burden she bears So if you get a chance, go visit her and show her that you care For no matter what she says... no matter what she feels My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal.

| To Cameron I'll never get to hear you cry, see your first step or hear your first word You never even got the chance to open those beautiful blue eyes or take your first big breath But please know the love we shared for 34 weeks will carry on for a lifetime Goodbye my darling son My little angel set free |
| Tears of Sadness Somedays I walk the earth and I feel so alone I cry these tears of sadness but also tears of joy For I held your life in mine if only for a short time and I wish to give birth to you again and this time you might live and cease these tears of sadness so we could be together and I'll be not alone. |
| Garden of Angels I buried you in a garden of Angels I dream of you playing there Laughing and giggling with never a tear Dancing and singing in their heavenly voices the baby angels have taken your hand and welcomed you to their beautiful land A land of freedom and music and laughter and I know you'll be happy there but I'll always wish you were here |
| The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes but it never fails to bring music to my ears If you are really my friend let me hear the beautiful music of his name it soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul Author Unknown |
| A Mothers Love I didn't have to look into your eyes to fall in love with you. I didn't have to hear you cry to know you loved me too. I didn't need to hold your hand to cherish you for always. Within my womb, we shared our hearts. You touched my soul. You sweetened my spirit. You gave me memories I'll always hold dear. Yes, my heart aches since you departed too soon. But a mother's love does not end with death. For you are my child, Forever my love is yours... ~Author unknown~ |
