The tiny rosebud God picked to bloom in Heaven.
The master gardener from heaven above
Planted a seed in the garden of Love,
And from it there grew a rosebud small
That never had time to open at all.
For God in his perfect and all-wise way
Chose this rose for his heavenly bouquet,
And great was the joy of this tiny rose
To be the one our Father chose
To leave earth’s garden
For one on high
where roses bloom always and never die.
So, while you can’t see your precious rose bloom,
You know the great gardener from the upper room
Is watching and tending this wee rose with care,
Tenderly touching each petal so fair.
So think of your darling with the angels above,
Secure and contented and surrounded with love,
And remember God blessed and enriched your lives too,
For in dying your darling brought heaven closer to you.

A Child Loaned

"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said,
"For you to love the while she lives,
And mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
As solace for your grief."

"I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over,
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take her back again?"

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand."

rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.

On a hill in the distance
A young girl quietly waits
Patiently she watches
For her family at the gates
Her eyes shine so brightly
As hope swells within
For soon she'll see her loved ones
And never part again
How joyous will be the meeting
As mother holds her child
And father kisses softly
The angel-his long lost child
Once more they'll hold each other
And tears will be no more
Forever they'll be together
As they pass through heaven's door.

love to you and your familyxx

God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.

He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.

Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.

God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.

And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.

The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light

God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when

He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see

It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright

God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.

Another Angel

I know how hard it is to lose a much loved and wanted child, my thoughts and prayers go out to you all.My grand-daughter was taken by Cot Death also on 13th Feb 2006, she was 8 weeks old.Its an awful thing and yet so many babies succumb to it, I hope you find comfort in this site and I also found F.S.I.D helped us, take each day at a time and remember no-one can take away your memories.

Do not weep because you think
you have lost the fairest flower
in your garden.
The truth is that the flower
has been transplanted
into a far more beauteous garden
where it sheds a greater perfume
and is lovelier and more beautiful
than it ever could be on earth.
It has been spared many of
earth's sadnesses and sorrows,
It has been spared many cruelties
and many blights.
Your child will never know much
that has darkened your own life.
Rejoice that freedom has come
to a young soul who will never be
distressed by the many miseries
that afflict your world.
Do not grieve for your child;
grieve if you will for your own loss,
for you will miss the little radiant face,
the childish prattle,the diminutive figure.
But though your physical eyes cannot see
and your physical ears cannot hear,
your child is ever present.
If you stop shedding tears
that create a mist in front of your eyes
you will see the truth
that in god's kingdom there is no death
and all continue to live in far better conditions
in a world which is richer and sweeter
than anything you've ever dreamed.
Do not sorrow for your child,
know that an all-loving god
has given angels to protect her
and your child will in fullness
of time be reunited with you
