I thought of you and 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 can you be a mother 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, others for a day And some I send to feel the womb, but theres 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 that I could show you what your child is doing today If you could see your child smile with other children and say... "We go to Earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear My mummy loved me oh so much, I got to come straight here I feel so lucky to have a mum who had so much love for me I learned my lesson really quick, my mummy set me free I miss my mummy very much, but I visit her each day When she goes to sleep at night, on her pillow I lay I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear Mummy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here" So you see my dear sweet one, your baby is ok She is right here, in my arms and this is where she'll stay She'll wait for you with me, until your lessons through And on the day you come to Heaven, she'll be here waiting for you So you see, what makes a mother, its the feeling in your heart Its the love you had so much of, right from the very start Though some on Earth don't realise, until their time is done Remember all the love you've shared and that your a special mum! Author Unknown ************************************************************* Letter To Mum Mum please don't feel guilty, it was just my time to go I see you still are feeling sad and the tears just seem to flow We all come to Earth for a lifetime and for some its not even years But I dont want you to keep crying, you are shedding too many tears I haven't really left you, even though it may seem so I'm just a step away in Heaven, I'm closer than you know Just believe that when you say my name, I'm standing next to you I know you long to see me, but there's nothing I can do But I'll still send you messages and hope you understand That when your time comes to 'cross over,' I'll be there to take your hand Joy Curnutt ************************************************************* Poems for Daddys of Angels A Man In Grief It must be very difficult, to be a man in grief Since 'men don't cry' and 'men are strong,' no tears can bring relief It must be very difficult, to stand up to the test And field calls and visitors, so she can get some rest They always ask if 'she's' ok and what 'shes' going through But seldom take his hand and ask "My friend, but how are you?' He hears her crying in the night and thinks his heart will break But dries her tears and comforts her and keeps strong for her sake It must be very difficult, to start each day a new And try to be so very brave, he lost his child too!! Author Unknown ************************************************************* Don't Cry Daddy Don't cry for me Daddy, I am right here Although you can't see me, I see your tears I visit you often, I go to work with you each day And when its time to close your eyes, on your pillow I lay I hold your hand, stroke your hair and whisper in your ear If your sad today Daddy, remember I am here I know that I'm in Heaven, and cannot be with you But you'll always be my daddy, and this we know is true I am Daddy's little girl, we are not really apart For everytime you think of me I'm right there in your Heart Author Unknown ************************************************************ Men Do Cry I heard quite often 'men don't cry, though no one ever told me why So when I fell and skinned a knee, no one came to comfort me And when some bully boy at school, would pull a prank, so mean and cruel I'd quickly learn to turn and quip, 'It doesn't hurt' and bite my lip So as I grew to reasoned years, I learned to stifle any tears Though 'be a big boy' it began,Quite soon I learnt to 'be a man' And I could play that stoic role, while storm and tempest wracked my soul No pain or setback could there be, Wrest one single tear from me Then one long night I stood nearby and helplessly watched my daughter die And quickly found to be surprise, that all that tearless talk were lies And still I cry and have no shame, I cannot play that 'big boy' game And openly without remorse, I let my sorrow take its course So those of you who can't abide, a man you've seen, whos often cried Reach out to him with all your heart, as ones whose life's been torn apart For men do cry when they can see, their loss of immortality And tears will come in endless streams, when mindless fate destroys their dreams Author Unknown
