These pages include poems and stories that friends and relatives have written or given to us. I do not know where they have all come from, however I find them all touching. If by chance someone has given me a poem you wrote and you do not wish to have it published here, please contact me and I will remove it.

Alexis Never Knew

A flicker of sunlight
One moment in time
From January to November
One blink of an eye
Lullabies silent
Questions of why
Searching for answers
I know I won't find

But I'll find some comfort
Knowing Lexi knew love
And I'm glad there are things
She never knew of...

She never knew hunger
She never knew pain
She never knew violence
Some children must face
She never knew bigotry
Or color of skin
She never knew hatred or sin
And I find some comfort in this

She never knew anger
Never knew war
She never knew poverty
Outside of her door
She never knew loneliness
Some must endure
She never knew these things exist
And I find some comfort in this

A flicker of sunlight
In a grandmother's eyes
Tears are still falling
And will for some time
For there are some things
I wish Lexi knew
Taken for granted
By both me and you

But I'll find some comfort
In this heart that she touched
For there is one thing I'm sure of

I KNEW SHE KNEW LOVE

Just a breif time in my arms, forever in my heart,
Grandma Marcia

Death of a Child

Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.

Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.

God didn't take me cause He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious...don't you see?

Up here no trouble do I see
And the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy, someday.

Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy' dear.
Each breeze you feel and see'
brings love and a kiss from me.

Our Child is Home

A gift for such a little while
Your loss just seems so wrong
You shouldn't have left before us
It's with loved ones you belong

At first we tried to pull you back
But now we've come to see
Our greif is for our own heartache
You're where we prayed you'd be

And now that you're
In Heaven's home
We'll try to understand
It's with the Loved One
You reside
You're held in God's own hand
