Mommy please don't cry.
"Because I am in the arms of Jesus
And he sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God.
Don't think He sent me to you,
And then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
And I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
The product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
And watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that's gleaming.
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
That mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
From a gentle wind that blows.
That's me, I'll be there,
Planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
And your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
Giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mommy don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
And he sings me lullabies.
Author Claudette T. Allen
How very softly you tiptoed into my world
Almost silently
Only a Moment you stayed
But what an Imprint
Your Footsteps
Have left on my Heart
Mommy I am in Heaven so please don't shed your tears
I can see you and I love you even after all these years
I know you are my mother and none other would I have choose
For even up here in Heaven true love continues to grow.
Daddy I see that sometimes when you are all alone
Your eyes get kind of misty and your thoughts they kind of roam
You are thinking of how things would be if I was there with you
All the things you would have taught me and watched me as I grew.
But I still love you my dear parents as if I was there on earth
I remember how you longed for me and looked forward to my birth.
There was nothing you did wrong so please put your minds at rest
God just wanted to keep this angel and you know He picks the best.
And one day we will all be together in our castle in the sky
True peace and love and happiness, things money cannot buy
And you can hold your angel and sing me a lullaby
For a parents love for their children is a love that will never die
Your going has darkened the brightest dawn.
Why did you leave us so soon, so soon?
Where can we look for you?
Over the Moon?
On butterflies' wings?
In the heart of a rose?
Who knows, who knows where a little one goes?
Where I have gone.
I am not so small.
My soul is as wide as the world is tall.
I have gone to answer the call, the call.
Of the one who takes care of us all.
Wherever you look, you will find me there,
In the heart of a rose.
In the heart of a prayer.
On butterflies' wings.
On wings of my own, to you I am gone.
But I'm never alone.
I'm over the moon, I am Home.

I felt your presence there inside of me,
Nestled soft and warm;
Sweet scent of baby's breath,
Precious words left unadorned.
I saw your tiny heartbeat,
Then I knew that you were fine;
A perfect baby we created,
One that would be mine.
Then that tragic day it came
There was nothing I could do,
Only wait and hope
For the precious life of you.
Yes in the beginning
Your daddy was afraid;
Only he would love you unconditional
And never run away.
He loved you more this I do know,
As he cried for you that day,
When the doctor said that you were gone,
Daddy wanted you to stay.
He would have held you close to him,
And see your perfect form,
A gift of daddy's love,
Would have kept you safe and warm.
Only now you are an angel over me
Beautiful and bare,
My heart would hurt if you cried for me
And mommy was not there.
Still we are together in my heart and memories,
You are still a part of my memory.
Rest gentle now 'sweet baby' there is no pain
You are never alone,
I know you are with the guiding angels
In you peaceful home.
I will come with you someday
Only now is not my time,
Then we will be together again
Again you will be mine.
Deor Sweet Baby, so perfect, so still.
The day you were born God cried for you as your parents did too.
Your journey into this world was never meant to be completed -
how painful for those who anticipated your arrival.
Your mother wept, your father wept, your aunts, uncles, and grandparents wept,
Even those who had not so looked forward to your arrival,
but helped you into this world wept.
I hold you in my arms so perfect, so beautiful,
please...please baby wake up....your body is limp
how my heart aches to see you this way.
Your skin is like Ivory. Your mom holds you so close as she says goodbye...
she feels your cheek next to hers and lovingly kisses you,
then sadly turns her face as she hands you to me.
Your daddy gently takes you and rocks with his tears rolling down his face.
He is torn between saying goodbye to you and leaving his wife's side,
who is crying and bleeding.
I feel only a part of their pain. I leave to weep silently and quickly.
I must be strong for them. As they begin a journey they never anticipated.
Your mom bleeds as her tears roll down her face.
I finally take you. I want to wake you.
You lay in my arms as though you are sleeping.
As I wrap you a final time,
I can't help but to look at your perfect body and wonder "WHY?".
I know why though.
Not every baby is meant to have a journey in this world that we know.
You were not ready. You go on in a journey I can not imagine.
It hurt to finish wrapping you.
To leave you in blankets alone leaves you too vulnerable to
those who are curious to see "the baby"
so I must finish after the blankets.
I cannot take you downstairs - ohhh my heart aches,
my eyes burn from trying to not cry and be strong
Your mother still bleeds. I know why, she has lost the most important thing to her –
her baby.
Why should her body stop bleeding?
If she will slow down until she can see she must do as your dad is doing.
To look beyond, to see her husband is here.
He is to live for now, until she can live for herself, again.
Maybe, hopefully, someday, they can anticipate again.
With tears of joy rather than sorrow after the labor of birth.
I know how much you love me
And I know how much- you care.
I know that you're still wishing
That I could be down there.
I know this day is hard for you
And I know you'll probably cry.
And Jesus knows you're hurting too
And He understands just why.
I wish that I could be there
To wipe away your tears.
But I'm up here with Jesus now
And in some future year,
We all will be together
And there will be no more tears.
And we'll get to know each other
Like we always wanted to.
But for now just know I love you
And Jesus loves you too.
My Father here in Heaven
Watches over me for you.
And He's sending someone to you
That I already know.
Someone you and Daddy can love
And touch and hold.
A little person bright and new
Whose life you two will mold.
So please remember Mommy
This new baby on your knee,
Is bringing to you from above
A little part of me.
Love, your little angel
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 forever more.
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.
Selena Shaye, my little angel...
I remember when I held you in my arms for the first time.
I said hello and only moments later, I said "goodbye."
Your stay here was so brief,
But it has changed my life forever.
Your beauty, your innocence, and your perfection
Have touched me in a way that I wasn't prepared for.
I knew that I would fall completely in love with you the moment I saw you; but I could have never imagined how deep or intense that love would be.
I knew that loosing you would be painful,
But I could have never predicted this terrible, unending ache.
I knew that I would be sad,
But how could I have known that this empty sadness would never leave me?
And although, I knew that I would be happy when you were born,
I never dreamed that your brief life could bring such joy and happiness to mine.
All of these emotions and more I experienced with such intensity
When you came into my life.
And although the happiness came with sadness,
And the love came with pain,
I will never regret having you,
I will always be grateful for my moment with you,
And I will forever cherish every memory of you!
You are my little angel
And I will hold you in my heart forever...
