Angel in the sky

Standing out against the crisp blue, this Angel in the morning sky. Face so beautifully soft and radiant. Not a trace of pain. Only peace and love showing through.
This Angel in the sky; Free. Frolicking happily amongst wispy clouds and rainbows.
This Angel in the sky; Forever guiding our footsteps, holding our hands, forever brushing away the tears of sadness from our eyes and kissing our lips with love.
This Angel in the sky; Forever having a sacred place of honour in the hearts and minds of those who love him on earth. This Angel in the sky; Forever a blessing, never to be forgotten. This Angel in the sky ~ Baby Matthew xxx

AN ANGEL NEVER DIES

Don’t let them say I wasn’t born

That something stopped my heart

I felt each tender squeeze you gave,

I’ve loved you from the start

Although my body cant hold.

It doesn’t mean I am gone,

This world was worthy, not, of me,

God chose that I move on

I know the pain that drowns your soul,

What you are forced to face,

You have my word, I’ll fill you arms,

Someday we will embrace,

You’ll hear that it was “meant to be,

God doesn’t make mistakes”,

But that wont soften your worst blow,

Or make your heart not ache,

I’m watching over all you ,

Another child you’ll bear,

Believe me when I say to you,

That I am always there

There’ll come a time, I promise you,

When you will hold my hand,

Stroke my face and kiss my lips,

And then you’ll understand

Although I’ve never breathed your air,

Or gazed into your eyes,

That doesn’t mean I never “was”

An angel never dies….

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.'

To The Child in Our Heart

'O' precious tiny, sweet little one,
you will always be to us perfect, pure and innocent,
just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life and all that it would be,
we waited and longed for you to come and join our family.
We never had the chance to play, to laugh, to rock, to wiggle,
we long to hold you, touch you now and listen to you giggle.

I will always be your mother; he'll always be your Dad,
you will always be our child, the child that we had.
now you're gone...but yet you're here,
we will sense you everywhere.

You are our sorrow and our joy,
there's love in every tear.
Just know that our love goes deep and strong,
we'll forget you never -
the child we had, but never had,
and yet will have forever.......
