Signs are fore those who struggle with their belief
But I know you believe in me and it softens your grief
I do not need to send a sign to show that I am close
Trust the feeling in your heart, it's a stronger sign than most.

Shopping Trip

As I peruse the aisles of the local store
I see things more differently than I ever have before
'Daddy's Little Angel' the embroidered bibs do read
But Daddy's angel is in Heaven and bibs he does not need.

He does not need a bottle, an outfit or a toy
Of buying those things for him we shall never know the joy
There are tiny jars of baby food that he will never eat
And shiny shoes with buckles that will never touch his feet

As the bikes and trikes taunt me from high up on the rack
Tears will break free from my eyes if I dare look back
I run off to the toilets to blow my nose and cry
I wipe my eyes, swallow hard and let out a sigh

I must go face the paper, pencils and wide rule
That my little angel will never use in school
I hurry past the greeting cards that the people choose with care
And I am reminded of the holidays we shall not share

In the checkout line I bow my head and heavy is my heart
For the family right in front of me has a newborn in their cart
Shopping in the local store used to be mundane
Now every aisle's full of items which remind me of my pain

So, quick as I can, I give the cashier the money from my purse
And hurry away from this previously known now foreign universe
I look like a normal shopper and others can never tell
Why what used to be so normal has become a personal hell.

You cannot see or touch me
But I'm standing next to you.
Your tears will only hurt me,
Your sadness makes me blue.
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through.
I love you from a different place,
Yet I'm standing next to you.

Simply Put

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
Why I never heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*

If Only Our Children Were Easter Eggs




If only our children were Easter eggs,
Hidden safely in the grass,
We could search for them and pick them up,
And hold them within our clasp.



We'd have a heavenly Easter egg hunt,
All with baskets in our hands,
Searching with a broken heart.
Only WE can understand.



'Oh, look I found your child over here,'
'Hey, did anyone find mine?'
They are so beautifully colored,
And they sparkle and they shine...



These aren't your usual Easter eggs,
They each have their own special glow,
That comes from way down deep within,
Only a grieving parent would know.



We gather up our special eggs,
With excitement all around,
For the gift that we've been given,
For the treasure we have found.



We all now stare with wonderment,
At our children that have died.
We want to hold them once again,
And release them from inside.



But we all begin to realize,
We have to crack their beautiful shell,
The one that, makes them sparkle and glow,
The one they have earned so well.



We know we can't destroy their beauty,
And take them from their place,
So we give them an understanding kiss,
As a tear runs down our face.



One by one we take our baskets,
With our beautifully colored eggs,
And place them gently in the grass,
As we turn and walk away.



We look back in amazement,
As our eggs begin to sing.
We see them flutter and move about
'Look, our eggs all now have wings.'



Then the Golden egg begins to speak...
'Your children are safe with me.'
'You'll be with them when the time is right'
Together for all eternity.'



We stand there in a circle of love,
As we look up to the sky,
Watching our radiant eggs take flight,
Knowing our children didn't die.

Love Always Elaine xXx

Happy Easter Sweeheart


The tiny bunny
Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song
He is having so much fun
Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day

Sending lots of floaty kisses your way xxxxx * . * * . * * . * * . * * . *

To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way.

Tribute For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Hit And Miss For A Few Weeks
My Father-in-Law is very ill in hospital,
I’m trying to light all my candles
Sometimes you will get 2 on one day
And none the next day I always put the day
They are for at the bottom of verse.

MEMORIES

Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.


MY CASTLE


Can you see my castle
Up here in the sky
Its got big gold gates
That sparkle in my eyes

Can you see my garden
It’s full of red flowers
And they smell beautiful
They hold magic powers

I have many new friends
That are all like me
They too are an angel
Flying high and free

They watch over family’s
That like me left behind
And send them angel kisses
They are friends hard to find

I’m glad I’m in heaven
And that I am at peace today
Yes I miss my family dear
But I had to go away

God picked me from many
And said that I’m one of the best
And I had completed my lives journey
And that I had past all the tests

So I deserve this castle
That god gave to me
And one day if your lucky
This castle you will see.

NATURE'S WONDERS


Have you ever wondered
what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones
blowing us a kiss?

Have you ever wondered
what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch
over us while we sleep?

Have you ever wondered
what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our
loved ones missing us?

Have you ever wondered
what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones
giving us a warm hug?

Have you ever wondered
what makes the ocean waves
come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones
wanting to touch us once more?

There are so many of natures wonders
and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power
making sure we always remember
The loved one we’ve lost
and shall never forget.

LIGHT A CANDLE


Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the graveside.
They are somewhere else
radiating their beautiful light.

They have gone to a new world
where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left
this mortal place.

They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden.
Their voices we hear.

When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame,
in your hearts they will always belong.



♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥

A smile is cheer from you to me,
The cost is nothing its given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
Its the only thing you keep when you give it away.
