Birthdays

Are there birthdays in Heaven?
Does the angel blow his horn?
Announcing to everybody
That this is the day you were born?

Can the stars be your balloons
And angel food your cake?
Presents wrapped in moonbeams
All the angels helped to make.

Birthdays meant so much to you
They were always a big deal
Birthday presents, lots of friends
And perhaps a special meal.

So I'll whisper a little prayer today
Asking everyone up above
To sing you a Happy Birthday song
And give you all my love.

This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Stephanie from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.







But A Moment

You'll always be my child-I think of you each day,
Even though you must remain so very far away.
A love as strong as this, I've never felt before;
But you had to go away-up through heaven's door.
You'll never have to suffer, or feel pain or hate,
just peace and love and happiness-
God has given you this fate.
I hope that you can feel just how much I care;
And, When my days are over, in a flash-I will be there.
Pure unbounding joy! We'll never have to part.
You'll be right by my side-And not just in my heart.
But, until that day, when my dream is real-
I think I understand, just how I should feel...
"Mom, I am fine!" this must be what you would say-
"Please don't be so sad, we'll meet again one day:
I'm with God above - so don't cry for me,
Our parting is but a moment compared to eternity."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I see you many times in my dreams
My most precious child
I have you always on my mind
Well, that's the way it seems

Today is an extra special day
It's the day you were born to us
You were the most beautiful child
God's gift to us

I still remember the twinkle in your little eyes
And that cute little baby smile
You new life gave us life
Oh you were such a prize

Though now that you are gone
We will never ever forget you
You're still very much part of our lives
We make this wish to you...

Happy Birthday
Our Precious STEPHANIE!

BEREAVED BIRTHDAYS

Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife
Before a spirit comes to us,
It Knows when and how it must depart
It chooses its path carefully,
We are honored from the start
The sadness we now feel on such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us everyday
I hug my precious memories
Close to my heart
And honor my beloved spirit child
Who chose me from the start.

We Do Not Need A Special Day

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know

Our thoughts are always with you
Your place no one can fill
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still

There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here

If tears could build a staircase
And heartaches make a lane
We'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring you home again

We hold you close, within our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again

Our family chain is broken now
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

Dear Lisa and Kirby

I tell you how much I love you
All the time my ANGEL Stephie
Do my words ever reach your ears

I still talk to you my ANGEL Stephie
Hoping that I will hear back from you
You won't hear me like you use to Mommy
But strange feelings that you might get
That is me, That is true

I haven't left you Mommy and Daddy
I live now just beyond the crest
I have been told ANGEL'S live here
Because when GOD takes us ANGEL'S of course
HE only takes the best

MY LOVE IS WITH YOU

In Loving Memory Of Lee Henry Aguilera



Your little Stephanie was such a little heart stealer. I am so sorry she had so much suffering in her very short life. Life is not easy for us at all. I saw this little angel and just had to make a special little graphic for you because she looks just like Stephanie and I do believe that Stephanie really was a special little angel that came only for a while for us to learn something. God bless your broken heart.
With My Love and Sharing Your Tears For this sweet Angel Stephanie

Little Angel Stephanie
A Beautiful and Sweet Little Soul That Lives with the Angels
And no more pain or sorrow, or tears upon your face
God came for you and brought you to a special place
Where all the angels live, where forever He will give to you
All of Heaven's grace
Love
Ann, Laurasmom
