We wish you could have met him
We wish you could have seen
His hands, his toes, his hair, his nose
And everything between

We wish you could have held him
We wish you could have felt
The softness of his precious skin
That made our hearts just melt

We know it’s hard to understand
We know it’s hard to show
The feelings for a little boy
You never got to know

We have a son so beautiful
We have a son who’s here
In everything we say and do
In every smile or tear

We want you to still see him
And feel his precious touch
He’s such a special little boy
Who loves you very much

I felt an angel near today,
Though one I could not see,
I felt an angel, oh, so close,
Sent to comfort me.

I felt an angel’s gentle kiss,
Soft upon my cheek,
And oh, whitout a single word
Of caring it did speak.

I felt an angels loving touch,
Soft upon my heart,
And with that touch, I felt the pain
And hurt within depart.

I felt an angel’s tepid tears,
Fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry
A new day would be mine.

I felt an angel’s silken wings
Enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow
A strength sent from above.

I felt an angel, oh so close
Though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today,
Sent to comfort me.

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild

Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still
somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be “Goodbye.”

So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place;
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the roads were getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb;
So he closed your weary eyelids
And, whispered “peace be thine”.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Standing out against the crisp blue;
This Angel in the morning sky.
Face so beautifully soft and radiant;
Not a trace of pain.
Only peace and love showing through.
Wings outstretched; Inviting.
Eager to embrace.

This Angel in the sky; free.
Frolicking happily amongst wispy clouds and rainbows;
Reunited with family and friends of days gone by,
Along the way.

This Angel in the sky;
Forever guiding our footsteps;
Forever holding our hands;
Forever brushing away the tears of sadness from our
eyes, and kissing our lips with love;

This Angel in the sky;
Forever having a sacred place of honour;
In the hearts and minds of those who love them, on
earth.

This Angel in the sky, forever a blessing.
Never to be forgotten.

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies,
she never did before
But from now until she dies,
She’ll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mum how she is,
And because she can’t explain,
She will tell a little lie
because she can’t describe the pain.

Ask my Mum how she is,
She’ll say “I’m alright.”
If that is the truth, then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mum how she is
She seems to cope so well,
She didn’t have a choice you see,
Nor the strenght to yell.

Ask my Mum how she is,
“I’m fine, I’m well, I’m coping.”
For God’s sake Mum, Just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.

She’ll love me all her life
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She’ll lie and say she’s fine.

I am here in Heaven
I cannot hug her from here.
If she lies to you don’t listen
Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We’ll smile and I’ll be bold.
I’ll say,
“You’re lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!”

The door is closed. The lights turned off.
The closet stands bare.
All the room once waiting…
For the child that should be there.

Sorrow wells up inside of us.
Our tears, an endless flow.
All because we miss the child…
The child we’ll never know.

No camping trips, No soccer games,
Nor late evening talks,
No baseball camps or shopping trips
No shaded moutain walks.

We have not even memories
To help through times like these
We only have each other,
as we go down on our knees…

To plead with you, our Father,
To take this pain away…
To help us know your love
will guide us through each day.

We may never know the reasons
For this terrible tragedy;
But we can know you love us
through all life’s mysteries.

Our time was far too brief;
It was over before its start…
But our little angel left behind
Footprints Across Our Heart

Tiny angel rest your wings,
sit with me for a while.
How I long to hold your hand,
and see your tender smile.

Tiny angel, look at me,
I want this image clear…
That I will forget your precious face,
Is my biggest fear.

Tiny angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren’t here for very long…
Why is it, you couldn’t stay?

Tiny angel shook his head,
“These things I do not know…
But I do know that you love me,
and that I love you so.”

A precious angel slipped away, no one heard a cry.
No time for Dad and Mommy to sing me lullabies.
My time with you was much too short. I had to leave too soon,
But love had joined us as I grew inside my Mommy’s womb.

It wove it’s way within our hearts, in all our hopes and dreams,
Until the very purest love became my tiny wings.
Although I could not stay with you, I knew right from the start,
That once you felt your angel’s love, you’d keep me in your hearts.

I’m just a little angel but my time was not in vain.
As dark clouds that surround you give way unto the sun,
My precious parents you will see that any heart will sing,
If only for a moment it is brushed by angel wings.

Don’t let them say I wasn’t born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I’ve loved you from the start.

Although my body you can’t hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone
This world was worthy, not of me
God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I’ll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.

You’ll hear that it was meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes
But that wont soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.

I’m watching over all you do,
Another child you’ll bear
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.

There will come a time, I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you’ll understand.

Although I’ve never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn’t mean I never was,
An Angel never dies.
