Mom, please listen to me As I take time to write. I see parents struggling daily. Their pain is such a fight.. All of us who have gone on And left the rest of you behind. We're ok, Mom, I promise. Heaven is beautiful, and God is kind. You used to tell me that one day God would call and take you home. You told me you'd make me strong So I would stand tall when alone. But things happen sometimes, Mom That does not go in our plans. I wasn't scared, Mom, When God held out his hand. I didn't want to leave you. I didn't have time to say good bye When the angels said, "Come with us." There wasn't time to question why. I've watched you daily, Mom. It hurts to see you cry. I don't want you to be unhappy. Just because we didn't get to say good bye. Tell the others what I'm telling you, So many parents need to know That Earth was just a lay over We had another place to go. I know you miss me, Mom I know your heart was broken in two, But God really needed me Because my earthly life was through. I'm always alongside you. I smile and touch your hair. I whisper "Mom, I love you", You just can't see me there. I'm the one who gently touches you On your shoulder when you're sad. I'm happy now that you finally found God again, and are no longer mad. Tell the parents, Mom, for me That all of us kids are okay. God had plans for our lives When he called us home that day. I love you, Mom, I always will And remember I'm not far away. We're going to be together When God calls out your name. ~Author:Unknown~ A child of God's I think they call That little boy of mine. The one I held so close to me For all that countless time.

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 forevermore. 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. ~Author:Unknown~ One night I cried to Jesus As I sat beneath the tree. I looked into the open sky And hoped He'd answer me. I'm lost dear Lord I've traveled far but still I seem to roam. Please light the way and lead me, Lord I need to go back home. I told Him of my burdens And of the sadness in my heart. That from His gracious love I'd never felt so far apart. Why did you take my child, Lord? I cannot understand. No longer can I touch his face Or hold his hand. I'm angry, Lord, I'm missing him I'm drowning in my sorrow. Please help to heal my yesterday And face each new tomorrow. It was then I heard his gentle voice And felt his presence near. How I wanted so to hold him As I cried another tear. He said.. Mom, I'm an angel now My spirit will be free. I'm an angel now in heaven So please don't cry for me. I was chosen by our Lord above And now I'm in His care. Whenever you need me Just look inside your heart I promise to be there. No one can ever take away Our bond with one another. For I'll always be your child As you will always be my mother. So if you cannot find your way Or the road to home seems far. Just look up to the Heavens And I'll be your guiding star. He said, Mom, I'm an angel now My spirit will be free. I'm an angel now in Heaven There's no need to cry for me. ~Author:Unknown~ CLICK ON FAMILY MEMBER TO GO TO THE INDIVIDUAL PAGE MOTHER | FATHER | SISTER | NIECE | GRANDFATHER OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS
