“No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye. You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why”
Quote from www.remember-me-memorial.com
Through the Eyes of a Child
Rock me in the cradle
Hold me in your arms
Whisper in my ears
About the world and all its charms
I’ll close my eyes to the madness
That engulfs our lives today
Teach me that no matter what happens
To bow my head and pray
I am young, so sweet, and innocent
Not the victim of a horrific crime
May the few years we spent together
Be forever etched in time
Yes, remember the special moments
That we shared day-in and day-out
Know that my heart will always be there
And that I’ll miss you, without a doubt!
I have no rhyme or reason
That explains what happened today
I long to still be with you
So that we could frolic and play
I know you’re sad that I am gone
But don’t cry too long for me
For I am skipping and running on streets of gold
And am as happy as I can be!
One day soon I’ll be coming to meet you—
It really won’t be that long
Till we embrace each other at the Heavenly gates
And we burst out in joyous song!
I will always be your baby
No one can ever take that away!
So be happy; be strong; be fearless
And I’ll see you again someday!
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”
Revelation 21:4
