| When someone comes into our lives... and they are too quietly and quickly gone, they leave footprints on our hearts... and their memory stays with us forever. ~Author Unknown~ |

| 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 It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul. ~Nancy Williams~ |

| Go ahead and mention my child, The one who 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 I try to hide, I’m hurt when you keep silent, pretending she didn’t exist, I’d rather you mention my child, Knowing that she has been missed, You ask me how I was doing, I say “pretty good” and “fine”, But healing is something ongoing, I feel it will take a lifetime. ~Elizabeth Dent~ |

| Looking Down From Heaven ~Author Unknown~ I’m looking down from Heaven Mommy I don’t like to see you cry I remember how you loved me I did not want to say good-bye. I don’t ever get lonely At night Jesus rocks me to sleep I play with the other little angels From cloud to cloud we leap. There’s a new little angel here Her mommy is very sad Her heart is surely broken And like you, she hurts so bad. Could you do something for me Mommy? If it’s not to much to ask? You were always so gentle and kind to me So I know that you are up to the task. You see, I’m trying to help this angel She misses her Mommy so As we look down together from Heaven There’s something you should know. We will soon be all together But there is time to pass till then Could you hold her a little while And try to be her friend? We don’t like to see you crying Up here in Angel Land So instead of pointing fingers Could you please take her hand? It will make us both feel better As we look down from up above If you are all holding up each other And remembering us with love. |

| “Parents’ Prayer” Dear Lord, We wanted so much to hold our babies close and tell them about you, But we never got the chance.... So could you please hold them close, and tell them about us. ~Author Unknown~ |

| Poem To All Dads ~Author Unknown~ It must be very difficult To be a man in grief, Since “men don’t cry” and “men are strong” No tears can bring relief. It must be difficult To stand up to the test And field calls and visitors So she can get some rest. They always ask if she’s alright But seldom take his hand and ask, “My friend, how are you?” He hears her crying at night And thinks his heart will break He dries her tears and comforts her But “stays strong” for her sake. It must be difficult To start each day anew And try to brave- He lost his baby too... |
