             BABY TEARS
     We never heard your first cry,

     Never wiped the teardrops from your eyes,

     And though our hearts grieve , and we are bereft,

     We carry your teardrop , they are all we have left....

     We carry them with us , tucked next to our heart ,

     Your memory with us always,

           We are never apart....

                  LITTLE BABY

     Little fingers

     Tiny toes

     Baby scent

     Button nose

     Little baby growing tall

     I will catch you when you fall

     You'll grow up now wait and see

     One day you be as big as me

     You are my life

     You are my soul

     I'll protect you

     I'll pay the toll

     Little fingers

     Tiny toes

     Baby scent

     Button nose

     Death leaves a heartache

     No one can heal

     Love leaves a memory

     No one can steal

               ONLY THE BEST

     A heart of gold stopped beating,

     Two shining eyes at rest,

     God broke our hearts to prove,

     He only takes the best.

     God knows you had to leave us,

     But you did not go alone,

     For part of us went with you,

     The day He took you home.

     To some you are forgotten ,

     To others just part of the past,

      But to us who loved and lost you,

      The memory will always last.

    Daddy, please don't look so sad,

    Mommy , please dont cry,

   "Cause I  am in the arms of Jesus,

     And he sings me lullabies"

    Please , try not to queation God,

    Don't think He is unkind,

    Don't think He sent me to you ,

    And then He changed his mind,

    You see, I am a special child , 

    And I'm needed up above,

    I'm the special gift you gave Him,

    The product of your love,

    I'll always be there with you,

    And watch the sky at night,

    Find the brightest star thats gleaming,

    That's my halo's brilliant light,

     You'll see me in the morning frost,

    That mist your window pane,

    That's me in the summer showers,

    I'll be dancing in the rain,

     When you feel a little breeze,

     From a gentle wind that blows,

    That's me I'll be there,

    Planting a kiss on your nose,

    When you see a child playing,

    And your heart feels a little tug,

    That's me I'll be there,

    Giving your heart a hug,

    So Daddy, please don't look so sad,

    Mama don't cry,

    I'm in the arms of Jesus,

    And He sings me lullabies.
