Someone Is Missing
Let this be a loving reminder
That someone is missing today
Someone our hearts still hold on to
As we travel along life’s way
Someone who made life so special
For all those who gather here
Someone who won’t be forgotten
But cherished from year to year
And now as we pause to remember
Let us all fondly recall
Now dearly each of us loved you
And oh… how you loved us all!

Dear Child in Heaven
You were a blessing to us all
you were a special child.
And we're so glad God sent you
to be with us awhile.
You filled our home with happiness
and made our life complete.
The time we had with you
was far too short, but so sweet.
Some things we don't find easy
to accept or understand.
Until we realize they're part of
our Creator's perfect plan.
Now it comforts us to know
you're with the angels up above.
While in our hearts we hold you close
Surrounded by our love.

My Dad
My Dad
What would I give, to clasp his hand
His happy face to see
To hear his voice, and see his smile
That meant so much to me.
The rolling stream, of life rolls on
But still the vacant chair
Recalls the love, the voice, the smile
Of the one, who once sat there.
Nothing can ever take away
The love, a heart holds dear
Fond memories linger every day
Remembrance keeps him near.

Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory,
they’ll live on in the heart.

Never Forgotten
You will never be forgotten
that simply cannot be.
As long as I am living
I will carry you with me.
Safely tucked within my heart
your light will always shine;
a glowing ember never stilled
throughout the end of time.
No matter what the future brings
or what may lie ahead,
I know that you will walk with me
along the path I tread
So rest my love and be at peace
and let your soul be free.
One day I'll join your glorious flight
for all eternity.

Love In Every Tear
O precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me.
So 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’ll always be your mother,
He’ll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.
But now you’re gone…but yet you’re here
We’ll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy,
There’s love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong
We’ll forget you never
The child we had, but never had
And yet will have forever!

These Are My Footprints
These are my footprints, so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints, never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint, for now I have my wings.
These tiny footprints were meant for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints, in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angels tears, of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints, in each butterflies' dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you, if you give me just a chance.
You will see my tiny footprints, in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind, and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, these tiny footprints, are found in mummy's heart,
'cause even though I'm gone now, we'll never truly part."

Our Watchful Mum
She always leaned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget!
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet.
Waiting till we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late,
Watching from Heaven’s window,
Leaning on Heaven’s gate.
