POEM 14 : MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

 

We look up to the sky, and see the twinkling stars

Staring with a sigh, we see You from a far

Christmas sure is different, without You by our side

You're spending Christmas with Jesus, our tears, we all must hide

We can only imagine, what Christmas is like up there

With Jesus right beside You, among the angels fair 

The choir must be spectacular, the singing beyond compare

What a joyous moment, for all in His Kingdom to share

We miss You very much, more than words can say

Feeling your presence here, we think of You each day

For everywhere we are, there You'll always be

Your face is imprinted in all our hearts, a precious memory

We feel your gift among us all, God's precious gift of love

Telling us we can count on You, to watch us from above

Day after day, You drop a sign, to show us You are near

How blessed are we, that You are now, our guardian angel here

Our hearts are filled with love for You, as we send our Christmas cheer

Knowing You'll have a wonderful time with Jesus Christ this year

We'll wipe away that lonely tear, as we see You beaming in Heaven

Happily celebrating Christmas and an awesome Twenty-Eleven!

POEM 13 : I AM WHO I AM

I am who I am for a reason

God sculpted me to be

He wanted someone very precise

A boy who is like me 

I look like I do for a reason

My face, my eyes, my hands

He custom-made my body

Being tall was part of His plan

The parents I have are the ones He chose

He has His reasons for that

I am their bundle of joy, one Christmas Eve

A pride to my Mom and Dad

No, the trauma I faced was not easy

I was put through grueling tests

It pained God too, but He had to do

To mould me to my best

I am who I am for a reason

God intended me to be

Someone to help Him watch over You

An angel just like me

POEM 12 : DEAR SON

 

Dear Son

The day You obediently answered God’s call

Is truly our saddest day of all

Watching You breathe that one last breath

An imprint in our memory, still very fresh

The question why, will always linger

Could God not grant us more time together

It seems like only yesterday, when You were born

It is hard to believe that You are now gone

Leaving us devastated and groping in the dark

While You chill out with God in His heavenly park

Laughing and playing with His other children

A beautiful sight to picture of Heaven

We got your message, we know You are here

The bond between us, is so very dear

You are constantly watching us, from far and near

We read your little signs, and we find them clear

That every little thing remind us of You

Your electric guitar especially, that is still brand new

We remember You playing it on the amplifier

You soon had to stop, when it somehow got heavier

We miss You more than we know how to express

God is surely putting your family to a difficult test

To send His message of love, He picked the best

For You clearly stand out, You have been blessed

Anointing You with the privilege of the highest kind

God called one day and said, “Daniel, it’s time.”

He waited for You patiently by His ocean shore

With open arms, He proved to us He loves You more

Today, we give thanks with a grateful mind

Though our hearts are shattered, God has been kind

Our souls are connected, but we still have to part

Until we are reunited, You will live in our hearts

Love, Mom

POEM 11: HEAVEN ROCKS

One night I cried to Jesus, as I sat beneath a tree

With a heart so filled with sorrow, I thought in misery

I have reached a dead end, I don’t know where to go

If only God could give a sign; a sign so I would know

I told Him of my burdens, and the sadness in my heart

The faith I have has crumbled, all hope is in the mud

Why did You have to take my son, I asked the Lord again

Never have I ever felt, such devastating pain

I’m angry Lord, I’m missing him, I’m drowning in my sorrow

I’m overwhelmed with grief; It’s hard to see tomorrow

Then I felt a little breeze, blowing softly in my face

Instantly, I felt his eyes, though I could not see his gaze

He said, Mommy, I’m an angel, my spirit now is free

Heaven really rocks, I’m as happy as can be

You should see me now, I can sit, and walk and stand

I am everywhere at one time, it’s hard to comprehend

No one will ever take away, our bond with one another

The link we have is real, our connection is forever

I’m watching you and family, from a cotton cloud above

When the sun shines its rays, I'll be sending you my love

POEM 10 : IT IS GOD'S WILL

It is God's will, as we stood still

You breathe your very last breath

He lovingly carried You in His arms

On the day we laid You to rest

It's been a while, your precious smile

We miss so very much

Now we are left with memories

In all that we see and touch

We feel the mist, the gentle breeze

The sun shines in our face

That will be You, telling us You're near

From now till the end of our days 

Moving on, You are never gone

You're right here in our hearts

God will bring us together someday

Never again to part

POEM 9 : SAFELY HOME

You are safely home in Heaven

Filled with wonder of God's greatness

Free at last to live forever

Beneath His radiance of blissfulness

All the pain and grief is over

Headaches are a thing of the past

Tumors can no longer hurt You

Never again, Thank God, at last!

There is work still waiting for us

A purpose we must all fulfill

Telling people about God's love

Living according to His mighty will

When that work is all completed

We shall wait for God to call

What a reunion that will be

Together forever, once and for all

POEM 8 : FOOTBALL IN HEAVEN

After the football match was played

On the day that was so fine

God blew His whistle, the angels clapped

We all had a really great time

Football has always been watching by the side

I have never been able to play

God is good, He knows my heart

When He called my name that day

He needed one more player

So, an angel came to me

She invited me to join Heaven's team

With God as the referee

I was so excited

Is this for real or a dream?

I could not believe when I rose up and walked

To join God's football team

You cannot imagine the field up here

It's greener than the greenest green

Surrounded by the prettiest flowers

That You have ever seen

At first I was quite nervous

I have not played before

But when the ball came to my side

The crowd started to roar

I took a very deep breath

And gave a kick so bold

The ball flew up and out of my sight

I scored my very first goal

The cheerleader-angels danced for joy

I beamed so happily

If only Justine could see me now

She'd surely be cheering for me

POEM 7 : HIS WORD, MY GUARANTEE

I sometimes wonder by myself

As I look up to the sky

Whether You are watching me

From a cotton cloud up high

As I stare, I try to see

For any sign or clue

I wish I could catch a little glimpse

Of what God's doing with You 

First, I see the radiant sun

Shining brightly up above

I wonder if You're telling me

That's how we feel God's love

Then the rain starts to fall

I wonder if it's the Master

Asking You to take a hose

To sprinkle Holy Water

Today, I sit contentedly

I see You soaring free

God tells me, You're right beside Him

His Word, My Guarantee

POEM 6 : MY SON IS HEAVEN'S ANGEL

My Son is Heaven's Angel, he was chosen to be free

I miss him terribly, and wish he were with me

Ever since God called his name, my heart has been in pain

Though I feel him by my side, I will never be the same

Like the footprints on the sand, there were always two

Trails of his and mine, along the ocean blue

The day he answered God, his trail was washed away

Now I walk alone, with him by me each day

On my own I sit by the beach, I talk to him till dawn

By myself I struggle to cope, I try to carry on

If I am a survivor, it's because he has taught me to be

To live a life of purpose, and trust God faithfully

Without me, he has moved on, to a place beyond the rainbow

Without him, I am groping, as only our Father would know

Even though I am assured, that he's happy at God's end

The ache in my heart will linger on, and would never, ever mend.

POEM 5 : LETTING GO

Letting go was the hardest thing

We have ever had to do

Now we are left with memories

We cling on dearly to

Guiding You through a restless road

Leading to God's Home

He held your hand through the lonely paths

You never walked alone

All our hearts were shattered that day

We grief for You in pain

But God shared a little secret

Our loss is Heaven's gain

We feel your presence ever since

It's good to have You near

Awaiting the day we see You again

Rejoicing when it finally gets here

POEM 4 : GOD'S PRETTY GARDEN

Like a flower in God's pretty garden

Standing tall in His heavenly light

The Son shines upon your face

Beyond the rainbow, a beautiful sight

The King watches over His garden

He lovingly cares, from spring through fall

Like a Gardener, He tends to His flowers

The seeds, the stalks, the petals, and all

When I am down, I walk in my garden

Surrounded by sunflowers and morning glories

Remembering in Heaven, your petals will last

Radiating for always in His heavenly bliss

Poem 3 : MANY A TEAR HAS FALLEN

Many a tear has fallen

Since the day You went away 

You obediently ran to God

When You heard His Call that day

As I reach for your hand today

For You, I have a smile

Feeling You near and close to us

Brings comfort for a while

It is these times and more

We miss You more than ever

Now we only have memories left

Of the laughter we shared together

I feel your rays of sunshine

And the breeze against my hair

As I walk further on the path

My Son, will You be there?

Now the road traveled has been hard

We take one day at a time

God has been good, He's given us YOU

A gift of a wonderful kind

God knows You'll never leave our hearts

Your memories, we'll always embrace

Watch over us, as we finish our chores here

From now till the end of our days
