I am a mother who lost her firstborn child to Cot Death. At first hand I can tell you the pain,
shock and horror of such an event never goes away. Please join with me in lighting a candle and
saying a prayer for all the sweet babies who went to bed, and woke in heaven away from the love and
devotion of their families. Time is no great healer, but maybe the power of love and prayer can ease
the pain of families who are suffering in the shadow of losing their sweet child in such a cruel
way. RIP babies. Loved, Cherished, Remembered Always xxx xxx xxx xxx

God's Lent Child
I’ll lend you for a little while
A child of mine,” God said
“for you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or forty two or three.
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you
And – (should his stay be brief) –
You’ll have his lovely memories
As a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth returns;
But there are lessons taught below
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the whole world over
In my search for teachers true
And from the things that crowd life’s lane
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love?
Not think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
This Lent Child back again?”
“I fancied that I heard them say –
“Dear Lord, Thy will be done
For all the joys Thy Child will bring
The risk of grief we’ll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,
We’ll love him while we may
And for the happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.
But should Thy angel call for him,
Much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”

What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

You Gave You Took Away - by Sharon Wheeler
As I travel across this land
There is something missing today
It’s my Angel child
The one God took away
He gave me that beautiful child
Then he took them straight away
What was the point I asked
As I knelt down and prayed
I never got to see my child play
And grow like all the others
I thought Lord that was my job
A child, and me to be the Mother.
I never even got any warning
Nothing was ever said
I woke up that sunny morning
To find my sweet child dead.
You gave them life, you stole it
You broke my heart in two
Why? Why? Dear Lord
That’s all I ask from you?

A MOTHER'S LOVE
A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

xxxx for my sweet baby xxxx
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my precious baby why did you have to go?
why god called you home i will never know.
in my heart you will always stay
i love you more and more everyday.
I saw you when you was first born
held you when you was just a few minutes old
we only had eleven short but precious weeks with you
till the angels decided they wanted you,
even though it wasn't your time to go.
sweet baby have lots of fun playing in heavens garden of love,
till the day we meet again up above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel Babies
Angel babies up above,
Look down on earth
With warmth and love.
When you look up at the night sky
You will see them shining for you and I.
Their wings will twinkle
In the moon's glow,
They are there to keep us all safe, you know.
Dear little Angels so perfect and true
When the time comes
They'll be waiting for you.
Call their names softly,
hold them with care,
Just whisper I love you
They will always be there.

WHY
WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHY,
WE TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS BUT WE JUST SIT & CRY,
YOU WERE HEALTHY,HAPPY,NOTHING WAS WRONG SO WHY ONE SAD MORNING DID WE FIND YOU WERE GONE?
ITS A TERRIBLE SADNESS,FEELING LOSS & DISPAIR,
I HOPE YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH WE CARE,
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE SIT & CRY,
I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT LOVE CANT DIE,
AND I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO CARRY ON AT TIMES IT FEELS WRONG BUT WE MUST BE STONG,
AND I HOPE THERE IS A HEAVEN & YOU HAVE ETERNAL BLISS,
BUT WE WOULD SOONER HAVE YOU HERE FOR A CUDDLE & A KISS.
WRITTEN FOR ALEX,SHARED WITH HIS FRIENDS.XXXXXX
HUGS!
There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.
A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through.
Or just a way for friends to say
Hey I like you 'cause you're you.
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care.
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.
A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.
It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.
And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.
