Baby Tucker, we know your sojourn
Here was but a wink of time.
But, oh how great the memories
You have left behind.
Baby Tucker, brother, son, and friend.
You are gone and we are left to grieve.
We don't understand or know,
Just why now you had to leave
Baby Tucker, its been said by many
Of God's prophets old and new,
That we were ordained before we came,
A special job to do.
Baby Tucker, I guess you've finished yours,
And it's time to move along,
Those prophets say a better place,
A place where you belong.
Baby Tucker, you've gone ahead
And crossed the great divide,
This is really not goodbye, for soon we'll all
Be crossing over and walking by your side.
So long for now Baby Tucker

Morning comes, I'm thinking of you
I try not to think of the things we "didn't do"
Throughout the day you cross my mind
Sometimes I wonder if others are blind
"Don't they know what I'm going through?"
"Aren't they thinking of you too?"
Bedtime comes and your still not here,
No longer death do I fear
For I know your happy, and not alone
And I know someday we'll all
be going home. Love Mom

(Tucker's Cousin)
Two precious hands soft and sweet
They grab a hold of his two little feet
Two chubby cheeks that we like to kiss
His bright twinkling eyes
They match his sweet smile that says
" I love you"
Forever we will remember this cheerful boy
For now he is our Guardian Angel
We love you Baby Tucker
Love Candice Ann
I thought of you ad closed my eyes
And prayed to God today,
I asked what makes a mother
And I know I heard him say.
A mother has a baby
This we know is true.
But God can you be amother
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can He replied
With confidence in His voice
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this, God
I want my baby here
He took a breath and cleared his throat
And then I saw a tear
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say
"We gon on earth to learn out lessons
Of life and love andfear.
My Mommy loved me oh so mych
I got to come straight here.
I feel so luck to have a Mom
Who had so much love for me
I learned my lesson very quickly
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
But visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillows whre I lay.
I stroke her hair ad kiss her cheeck
And whisper in her ear
"Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here"
So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are ok
Your babies are here in MY home
And this where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with ME
Until your lesson is through
And on the day that you come home
They'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart
It's the love you had so mych of
Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize you are a Mother
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
And know you're the best one.
