Jesus Hope Of Heaven
Fingerprints
Fingerprints
Your fingerprints are on my heart.
Fingerprints that teach me about caring.
Fingerprints that teach me about love.
Fingerprints that teach me about courage.
Fingerprints that teach me about hope.
Fingerprints that bring me closer to my loved ones.
Fingerprints that bring me closer to myself.
In the time I cared for you my whole life changed --
never to be the same again
All this from tiny fingerprints that touch my heart.
You will live in my heart forever - never to be forgotten.
I will always love you.
You are my child.

I Miss Your Laughter
I Miss Your Laughter
I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness.
I miss the things I used to do for you.
I miss the time, now filled with emptiness,
When each day was a stage for something new.
I miss your love, though mine for you remains,
A passion with no outlet to the sea,
A teardrop in a desert, that contains
What's left of my maternal ecstasy.
I miss your presence, like a silent chord
That anchored even solitude in grace.
I miss, for my love's labor, the reward
Of seeing some small pleasure in your face.
All these I miss, and yet they are all here
Within my heart, far more than I can bear.

My Angel in the Sky
Each day I look to heaven,
each day I call your name.
Each day just feels so different,
It hasn’t been the same.
Each day I always question,
I often wonder why?
You had to go away from me,
My Angel in the sky.
I keep you in my memories,
since we’ve been apart,
and I’ll always have a part of you
locked safely in my heart.

We Miss You So Much
We Miss You So Much
If we could visit Heaven even for a day
Maybe for a moment the ache would go away
We’d put our arms around you
And whisper words so true
That living life without you
Is the hardest thing to do
No matter how we spend our days
No matter what we do
No morning dawns no evening falls
When we don’t think of you.

For Such A Little While
For Such A Little While
God gave you your daughter
For such a little while;
He put a bit of heaven
In the sunshine of her smile
He took dust from the brightest twinkling stars
And made her sparkling eyes;
And now, she's gone back home to God,
To play up in the skies.
And though she left so quickly
That you hearts are grieved and sad,
We know she lives with God
And her small heart is glad.
And though your precious darling
Was just a rosebud small;
She'll bloom in all her beauty
On the other side of the wall.

The Empty Womb(comfort for moms)
(comfort for moms)
I carried you so lovingly
within my gentle womb...
and little did I realize
your life would end too soon.
I never got the chance to say,
"I love you, little one"...
before I held you in my arms,
your life on earth was done.
The grief is indescribable,
to lose a child this way...
all the many hopes and dreams
were vanished on that day.
I know I'll see the sun so bright
upon my baby's face...
when I finally get to heaven,
my pain will be erased.
We'll soar the skies together,
as angels two by two...
we'll have a sweet reunion;
a mother's dream come true.

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 oh so sweet.
It comforts us to know
you're with the angels up above.
While in our hearts we hold you close
Surrounded by our love.

I Remember You
The world may never notice
If a rosebud doesn't bloom:
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be
Touches the World in some small way
For all eternity.
The little ones we longed for
Were swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do
Every beating of my heart says
"I Remember You"

Don't Think Of Him
As Gone Away
Don't Think Of Him
As Gone Away
Don't think of him as gone away,
His Journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Thinking how he must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sorrows
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much.

Oh Precious, Tiny,
Sweet Little One
Sweet Little One
Oh 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 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 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.

For My Little One
I never saw your twinkling eyes
Or touched your precious feet.
I never shared a tiny yawn
Or rocked you fast asleep.
I never kissed your tiny hands
Or saw your little smile.
I never held you in my arms,
But I held you for a while.
Although I never saw your face
Or heard your precious laughter,
You're still my child whom I love
And will forever after.

A Precious Cord
A Precious Cord
by an invisible cord, not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord, that connects us 'til birth.
This cord can't be seen by anyone on earth.
This cord does it's work right from the start.
It binds us together attached to my heart.
I know that it's there, though no one can see,
the invisible cord from my child to me.
The strength of this cord is hard to describe,
it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord man could create.
It withstands the test and can hold any weight.
Though you are gone and not here with me,
The cord is still there but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore.
But this cord is my lifeline as never before.
I am thankful that God connects us this way.
A mother and child, nothing can take it away.

Little Snowdrop
Little Snowdrop
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
For every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.
