There's just one way to know--have you lost a child too?
"You'll have another child"--must I hear this each day?
Can I get another mother too, if mine should pass away?
Don't say it was "God's will"--that's not the God I know.
Would God on purpose break my heart, then watch as my tears flow?
"You have an angel in heaven--a precious child above."
But tell me whom here on earth shall I give this love?
"Aren't you better yet?" Is that what I heard you say?
NO! A part of my heart aches--I'll always feel some pain.
You think that silence is kind, but it hurts me even more.
I want to talk about my child who has gone through death's door.
Don't say these things to me, although you do mean well.
They do not take the pain away; must go through the hell.
I will get better slow but sure--and it helps to have you near.
But a simple, "I'm sorry you lost your child" is all I need to hear.
rest your tired wings,
Soothed by the knowledge
of the love you always bring.
You came to earth to comfort
cushion mortals as they fall,
A guardian of peace and love
here to guide us all.
Though you look so very fragile
still, you share your wings,
And fill the hearts of all mankind
to make their spirit sing
Where are you little angel
hiding in the palm of a hand,
Or do you rest on weary shoulders
across our troubled land?
Angels rise to the occasion
somehow they always know,
Whenever life becomes too hard
an angel's presence will show.

Not sure you can go on
- Your Angel Knows -
And will wrap you in an Angel hug
To let you rest till your weariness is gone.
On days when you're down
Just feeling so blue
- Your Angel Knows -
And will tenderly take you in his arms
To cherish and help cheer you.
On days when you're hurting
Really feeling that pain
- Your Angel Knows -
And will wrap you in a blanket of love
To give you courage and help keep you sane.
On those nights when you're lonely
And there's no one to be found
- Your Angel Knows -
He'll gently enfold you in her wings
To give comfort and let you know
he'll always be around.
And on the days when you're happy
Things are going just right
- Your Angel Knows -
He'll smile and say a prayer of thanks
And give you an Angel hug so tight
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 he didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that he has been missed.
You ask me how I am doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine".
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.
by Elizabeth Dent
Don't let them say I wasn't born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I've loved you from the start.
Although my body you can't hold,
It doesn't mean I'm gone,
This world was worthy, not of me,
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face.
You have my word, I'll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was "meant to be,
God doesn't make mistakes,"
But that won't soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do,
Another child you'll bear,
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.
There will come a time, I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips,
And then you'll understand.
Although I've never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn't mean I never "was"
An angel never dies.
