OUR SWEET, SWEET LITTLE BOY

Your heart was filled with happiness;
Your eyes twinkled with delight;
Laughter came easy to you,
sweet boy,
Just an angel, we all knew.

Excitement and wonder at
nature abounded,
As you watched waves
wash ashore,
Or the sun rising over
the hill tops,
Painting the morning pink.

You marveled at nature’s miracles.
How many hours together
did we sit,
Silently, watching birds eating, singing, bathing?
Many yesterday seem
so few today.

Here for such a short time, gone, far too long.
You touched our hearts,
they soared.
You left your world a better place, May we be so blessed.

We who are here, mourn your passing, grieve the loss.
But in heaven, the sun is bright, stars sparkle, and
Angels sing “alleluia” and rejoice,
Hayden has come home at last.
~Grandma Gayle

LITTLEST ONES

Precious are the littlest ones
a gift on loan from God above.
With which to share our hearts,
and love from our Father above.

Blessed by the joy and delight
that comes with the ones so small.
For ever they touch our hearts,
In a way that we will always recall.

Some stay, and some return
when called Home to our Father's Heavenly Domain.
Our love for them never fades
forever in our hearts they will remain.

We cherish then with all that we are
for one day, the Father will call, "Come Home."
His love for them we cannot comprehend
but a love we'll know when we reach our Heavenly Home.

Cherish the moments you are blessed by
the joy of the gift of a little one.
The moments are so few and precious
that we spend with our daughter or son.

Give Thanks for the gift
Of the littlest ones from God above.
Let not a moment pass
To share with them your love.

Love is eternal
it never fades or goes away.
For the sake of the littlest ones
let's teach them God's way.

The way to love everlasting,
unconditional and without price.
A love that one day
we will share again with them in Paradise.

"What A 5 Year Old Taught Me"
   
Our life's will forever reflect on happy memories because of a little
toddler, he:

He was sent to us from on high and we knew he would return to Him by & by.

This little guy thought like an adult altho he was not yet five.

He was a humble, persistant and loving tot who touched the hearts of all
that would call.

In our family circle he's the one who brought joy and happiness to our
souls.

You see our angel is a child of God for the bible us so.

I'll miss his little hand in mine as he would say "come play with me"

HAYDEN

He was born on Christmas Eve to a young maiden and she decided to name him HAYDEN. As he took his first sweet breath she knew that this was her gift from Jesus and would forever hold him precious.
Oh, Hayden, when he smiled he could make us all melt but when he dealt his mischievous little ways he could turn into a wild child and could cause all to get riled.
Hayden this sweet child of God was not here long enough on this earth for us but was needed by Jesus to help on God's Angel Squad, we had to let him do his job.
Little Hayden's dad is a handsome lad and from the start it was agreed upon that Jon would be Hayden's man to depend upon. To Jon I bestow an award upon for being there when called upon to be Hayden's Daddy.
The young maiden, Miss Colette, knew she was going to have to let him go and she knew they would no longer be the duet, but she could not forget and she has no regrets for she was there for his first sweet breath and now was there for his last.
Little Hayden left us on Jesus' Birthday. He must have thought Jesus spent 5 Birthdays with him so he would go to Him this day.
We said our final goodbye to Little Hayden on a warm December afternoon in a platoon of colored balloons and again we felt he was gone too soon, and as the bright balloons were strewn across the sunny sky one little blue balloon refused to fly. We knew it was Hayden's way of giving us
all his last goodbye.
Goodbye my little Hayden and please take care of us all as we will need it in the
years to come.
Love you,
~Starla K
Please Don't Cry

Mommy, Daddy, Please don't cry
We didn't really say goodbye.

I'm now in Heaven looking down,
Upon my family and friends around.

I had a purpose here on earth,
I lived my life for what it's worth.

To bring you so much love and joy,
And teach you how to love your boy.

To show you how to look above,
At God in Heaven and his love.

My job on earth has now been done
The one in Heaven though
just begun.

I'm your angel forever more,
And will always hold open Heaven's. door.
