Hello Good-bye  by Michael W. Smith Where’s the navigator of your destiny? Where is the dealer of this hand? Who can explain Life and it’s brevity ‘Cause there is nothing here That I can understand, You and I Have barely met And I just don’t want to let go of you yet. Noah, hello, good-bye I’ll see you on the other side, Noah, hello, good-bye I’ll see you on the other side, And so I hold your tiny hand in mine, For the hardest thing I’ve ever had to face Heaven calls for you Before it calls for me, When you get there save me a place, A place where I can share your smile And I can hold you for more than just awhile. Written for Noah, who only lived 2-1/2 days.

I am Her Mother By: Joan Vander Male (A Time to Decide, A Time to Heal – 4th edition) By: Molly A Minnick, Kathleen J. Delp, and Mary C. Ciotti Do not judge me for what I have done For you have not walked in my shoes She was not your daughter You did not love her and long for her As I did and do and always will You did not feel her and play for her And know her and promise her that You would always take care of her as I did She was my daughter, You did not hear the doctors say That she would be sick That she already was sick And that she would be sick until The day she died You did not pray to God that the Second ultrasound would confirm Your hopes that she would be healthy You did not see the tear In the doctor’s eye when he Confirmed the diagnosis You did not pray to God for Her to never have to suffer For him to take her to Heaven Where there is no pain You did not feel her pain, I did I am her Mother When you simply said to me That I don’t have the right To take her life I know you did not feel my struggle When you simply said to me That I (don’t) have to take her life For her to (be) happy I know you did not feel my struggle I do not know what God wanted for her I do not have His wisdom And neither do you I do know that He loves me I felt His love through the people He gave me I know that God did feel my struggle All I ask from you now Is that you pray for my daughter And do not judge me for what I have done I am her mother!
