~ Special Angel Day ~

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 would 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.

As long as we can dream
As long as we can think
As long as we have memory
WE LOVE YOU ღ
As long as we have eyes to see
And ears to hear
And lips to speak
WE LOVE YOU ღ
As long as we have a heart to feel
A soul stirring within
An imagination to hold you
WE LOVE YOU ღ
As long as there is time
As long as there is love
As long as we have breath
to speak your name
WE LOVE YOU ღ

A Mother's Crown


Heaven lit up with His mighty presence,
As all the Angels looked down, 
Today the Lord was placing the jewels,
In all the mother’s crowns.

As He held up a golden crown,
As all the mother’s looked on,
He said in His gentle voice, 
"I just want to explain each stone."

He held the first gem in His hand 
But the radiance couldn’t match His own. 
For He was the light of Heaven,
Reflecting off each of the stones.

"The first gem," He said, "is an emerald,
And it’s for endurance alone,
For all the nights you waited up.
For your children to come home.

For all the nights by their bedside,
You stayed till the fever went down,
For nursing every little wound,
I add this emerald to your crown."

"A ruby, I’ll place by the emerald,
For leading your child in the right way,
For if you hadn’t taught them about me,
They wouldn’t be here with you today.

For always being right there,
Thru all life's important events,
I give you a sapphire stone,
For the time and love you spent."

"For untying the strings that held them, 
When they grew up and left home, 
I give you this one for courage." 
Then the Lord added an amethyst stone.

"I’ll place a stone of garnet," He said,
"For all the times you spent on your knees, 
When you asked me to take care of your children,
And them for having faith in me."

"I have a pearl for every little sacrifice,
That you made without them knowing,
For all the times you went without,
To keep them happy, healthy, and growing."

"And last of all I have a diamond,
The greatest of all gems,
For those mother’s who lost their children, 
When they came home to heaven before them."

"This is the most precious sacrifice,
So I give the most precious stone,
For I know just how you felt,
I too lost a child of my own."

After the Lord placed the last jewel in,
He said, "Heaven is now complete, 
For every mother has her crown of jewels,
And all her children are at her feet."
