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

POEM 2 : WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT YOU

When tomorrow starts without You
And You're not here by our side
If the sun should rise and the clouds roll by
Our tears of grief, we'll hide

To carry on and pretend to smile
Sometimes there is no mood
But reflecting on our journey
To us, God has been good

He must have understood
We love You, Oh so much
Yet He went ahead to take You
We yearn for one more touch

As You lay in bed, We watched You sleep
We prayed God's Will be done
We did not know when we prayed that night
That God would take our son

You had so much to live for
And much too young to die
What was God thinking, we cried
As tears streamed down our eyes

It really did not seem possible
That losing You was God's choice
As we struggled with grief and confusion
Be Still, We heard God's voice

You were sent to earth for a purpose
And now it is fulfilled
The chapter ends, the page is turned
We bow down to His Will

What God has given, God has taken back
He left us in devastation
As we pick up the pieces, we slowly rejoice
In His promise of eternal salvation

We will continue to trust God faithfully
Although we have no clue
The question WHY will forever confront us
When tomorrow starts without You
