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 the calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.
They always ask if she's all right
And what she's 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.
He dries her tears and comforts her,
but 'stays strong' for her sake.
It must be very difficult
To start each day anew
And try to be so very brave --
He lost his baby too.

My Dream


If I could have some fairy dust
To make my dreams come true
I`d take it with me in my sleep
So I could dream of you

I`d dream I were an angel
If only for one day
So I could be in Heaven
Just to spend the day with you

I`d tell you how I loved you so
And Missed you oh so much
And how just for a little while
You were mine but not to keep

I`d hold you oh so very close
But then I`d have to go
You see my little Angel
You were my gift but not to keep

I have to say night night now
Its time for me to go
But this feeling in my heart for you
Will never go to sleep

for the dad

A Daddy Hurts Too

People don't always see the tears a dad cries,
His heart is broken too when his child dies.
He tries to hold it together and be strong,
Even though his world's gone wrong.

He holds his wife as her tears fall,
Comforts her through it all,
He goes through his day doing what he's supposed to do,
But a piece of his heart has been ripped away too.

So when he's alone he lets out his pain,
And his tears come like falling rain,
His world has crashed in around him,
And a world that was once bright has gone dim.

He feels he has to be strong for others,
But Dads hurt too, not just the Mothers,
He searches for answers but none are to be found,
He hides behind a mask when he is feeling down.

He smiles through his tears,
He struggles and holds in his fears,
But what you see on the outside is not always real,
Men don't always show how they really feel.

So I'd like to ask a favor of you,
The next time you see a mother hurting
over the loss of her child,
please remember.....a Dad hurts too.

Can You Be A Mother When Your Baby Is Not With You?

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 God 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,
And others for the day
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay.'

'I just don't understand this God
I want my baby to be here.'
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.

'I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the 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 Mummy,
Who had so much love for me
I learned my lessons very quickly
My mummy set me free.

I miss my mummy oh so much
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillows where 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 ones,
Your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home
And this is where they'll stay.'

'They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lessons through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize
You are a mother.
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one.'

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and day's before that too,
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame,
Your memory is my keepsake with which I will never part,
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.

for stacie

Please don't be so sad,
I miss you so much, too.
It's beautiful here where I am,
but I worry a lot about you.

I sleep with angels watching me,
there's only love up here.
I'm never lonely of afraid
'cause God's so very near.

I walk with angels every day,
they're very kind and sweet.
Don't worry, Mom and Dad,
they hold my hand when
we cross a golden street.

I never cry or hurt myself,
I see rainbows every day.
I play and laugh and sing a lot,
and I hear you both when you pray.

Please Mommy and Daddy,
don't be mad at God,
you see, he loves me, too.
And even though you're not with me,
I'm really still with you.

i miss you so very much xxx

We've only just got to know you.
Not even held your hand,
But to god you must go now
into his heavenly land,

You're a perfect little angel
just a precious baby boy
a tiny bundle of joy
Sweet baby that i never got to hold,

God only lent you to us
For just a little while
But now he want's you back with him
your beauty make's him smile

The pain that we endure
May lessen over time
But nothing can take our memories
God sent you as a sign.

We pray that you're at peace now
Your journey's just begun
Gods loving little angel
Shines on us like the sun.

Sweet little angel of god
You touched our hearts so deep
The impact that you had on us
Sweet child it's time to sleep.

You have your little angel wings
To god now we must fly
Forgive us little angel
It's so hard to say goodbye

So Rest our baby angel we'll always remember this
you're in our hearts forever we sealed it with a kiss.
