You are a Precious Child
Created out of love,
a blessing from above.
I've adored you from the start,
and your little footprints touched my heart.
A single teardrop represents the millions I have cried.
My life never the same since you died.
I wish you could have stayed longer with me,
I'd watch you grow into all you could be.
Although we are apart,
You are always in my heart.
I dream of a joyful time when
we will be reunited once again.
Thoughts of you make me smile.
You will always be My Forever Child.

by Susan Mosquera

Some time has gone by
And life has resumed
To the way that it was before you,
But my heart still awaits
For the piece that is missing
And it doesn't quite know what to do
With the love that was saved
To be given and cherished
Before he was taken away
And the dreams and the life
That we'd planned and we hoped for
Will wait until Heaven one day.
So don't expect me to
Not acknowledge his being
He was here and he always will be
You may think that I'm stalled
In the past and the memories
But I am moving on...
And he's coming with me.

Austin Verville

We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake, We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache, And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase, And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts; And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now, And nothing seems the same,
But as GOD calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
