"An angel, in the book of life, wrote down my baby's birth, and
whispered as she closed the book: too beautiful for earth."

When God calls little children
When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above
We mortals sometimes 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 up a rosebud
before it grows 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 child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

Someone sent me this poem. (author unknown)
I am including it -although I don't know if I would agree with it or not.
"It is a blessing
an honor
to have a miscarriage
because it is God's way
of choosing you
to carry a child
JUST FOR HIM."

Send Me An Angel
Lord, send me an angel
With a big set of wings,
So she can help me get over
The pain this life brings.
Give her a bright Halo,
When you send her down.
It will serve as our beacon,
Until we both touch the ground.
We'll fly over rainbows
And above the blue skies.
Then, we'll soar with the eagles
And chase butterflies.
We'll circle the mountains,
Then ride out the gales.
We'll descend above sailboats
And put the wind in their sails.
So, please, send me an angel
With a Halo and wings,
So she can lift me above
All the sad earthly things.

I Wish For You
I wish that I could take away
The pain that's in your heart,
I'd gladly help you ease it;
Help you make a brand new start.
I wish that I could give you
A soul that's filled with peace,
To make each day more brighter
Until your worries cease.
I'd gladly take your load
If I could see you smile again;
I hate to see you troubled,
Now you're facing so much pain.
Tonight instead of wishing,
I'll say a special prayer
For God to hold you in His hand,
And keep you in His care.
And when the morning comes,
I'll wish just one more time,
That your faith has been restored,
By this little prayer of mine.

Nobody Knew You
Nobody knew you
"Sorry about the miscarriage dear, but you couldn't have been very far along."
...existed.
Nobody knew you
"It's not as though you lost an actual person."
...were real
Nobody knew you
"Well it probably wasn't a viable fetus.
It's all for the best."
...were perfect.
Nobody knew you
"You can always have another!"
...were unique.
Nobody knew you
"You already have a beautiful child. Be happy!"
...were loved for yourself.
Nobody knew you
...but us.
And we will always remember
...You.

I LOVE THIS ONE:
Who is this Jesus Whom You Serve?
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is God! He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this... He said it
,I believe it, and that settles it. God is in control, I am on His side, and
that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
May Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you!

A letter to my family:
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm waiting this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness, Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon, and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were
gone.
As for you dearest family, they will be here later on.
I need you here badly, you are part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you that, you would not understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, then I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb.
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like if for you too.
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain.
Then you can say to God at night... My day was not in vain.
And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low.
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind.
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me.

Encouraging Words
If You Will Only Let God Guide You
A hymn by Georg Neumark, 1641
If you will only let God guide you,
And hope in Him through all your ways,
Whatever comes, He'll stand beside you,
To bear you through the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the Rock that cannot move.
Only be still, and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whatever the Father's pleasure
And all discerning love have sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him Who chose us for His own.
Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,
But do your part in conscience true;
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in you;
God hears the call of those in need,
The souls that trust in Him indeed.

Mother's & Father's Day
Copyright 2002, Ferna Lary Mills
It's so very hard to understand
why one so small is taken,
leaving a Mom and Dad behind
with hearts so badly aching.
There are so many things in life
that no one really understands.
But the child you hold in your heart,
God now holds in His hands.
Cared for and nurtured by the Father,
she will grow and mature in His love,
while angels guide and protect her
in her Heavenly home up above.
They will tell her she was, oh, so special
to you both, in every way ~
as they spend countless hours preparing
for your reunion One Grand Day!
They will take her to the edges of Heaven
and let her look, often, down below
to see the Mom and Dad down here
that she didn't get much time to know.
So as you gaze up into the sky,
know she's now in a Glorious place,
and maybe she's looking back to you ~
searching for a smile upon your face.
For I'm certain that in her little heart
it grieves her to see you so sad,
for she knows she had the very best ~
The world's greatest Mom and Dad!
