A Special Birthday
Please, God, make them remember that
Today is a special birthday
Make them understand that
The memories don't go away
Bless them with ears to hear and hearts that care
Enable them to listen while I share
Shelter them that they may never know my pain
Help them to help me know that my childs life was not in vain
Help them to remember, Lord, that I wish
That my child was here
So we could still celebrate
To understand that I stillFeel the nearness of my child
To see beyond my smile And the words "I'm okay"
Please God, just let one remember
TODAY IS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY!!!
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love & sometimes tears.
But only to feel pain and sorrow
would not be quite fair to you.
Your life meant much more to us
More than you ever knew.
You were here so briefly
We wonder if you know,
All the ways you've touched our world
Since that day God called you home
Now, our son, you're an angel
With our heavenly Father above.
We see not only what we've lost
But our capacity to love.
There will always be a void
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No, not now...not ever!
As this sad day is upon us
Oh! How our hearts still hurt.
But even as we mourn your death,
We celebrate your birth.

When Jesus lived upon the earth
So many years ago,
He called the children close to Him
Because He loved them so.
And with that tenderness of old,
That same sweet, gentle way,
He holds your little loved one close
Within His arms today.
And you'll find comfort in your faith
That in His home above,
The God of little children
Gives your little one His love.
So think of your little darling
Lighthearted and happy and free
Playing in God's promised land
Where there is joy eternally.

Where Do Balloons Go Mommy
Where do Balloons go Mommy, When You set them free?
Do they float into the clouds or get stuck in a tree?
Do they fly High in the sky or get popped by a Bee?
Do they soar with the Birds and the bugs in the Air?
Or stay close to the ground and get chased by a bear?
Does the wind blow them out over the Big Blue Ocean?
Or do they climb up and over Small hills and Big Mountains?
Do they go into space and circle the Stars?
And fall back to earth after travelling so far?
Or does GOD collect them all in a Big Bouquet...
And give them to the children in Heaven each day?
Where do Balloons go Mommy, when you set them free?
I Hope they Go to Heaven....As a Gift from Me!
