I said, God I hurt
And God said, I know
I said, I cry a lot
And God said, that's why I gave you tears
I said, life is so hard
And God said, that's why I gave you loved ones
I said, but my loved one died!
And God said, so did mine!
I said, it's such a great loss!
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross!
I said, but your loved one lives!
And God said, so does yours!
I said, where is he now?
And God said, my son is by my side
And yours is in my arms.

The Cord
By Terri Apostolakos
We are connected, my child and I
By an invisable cord not seen by the eye
It's not like the cord that connects us at birth
This cord can't be seen by any on earth
This cord does it's work right from the start
It binds us together, attached to my heart
I know that it's there, though no one can see
This invisable cord from my child to me
The strength of this cord, it's hard to describe
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied
It's stronger than any cord man could create
It withstands the test, can hold any weight
And though you are gone, yoou're not here with me
The cord is still there, but no one can see
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore
But this cord is my lifeline, as never before
I'm thankful that God connects us this way
A mother and child. Death can't take it away.

The Shopping Trip
By Linda Vicory
As I peruse the aisles
Of the local store
I see things more differently
Than I ever have before
"Mummy's little angel"
The embroidered bibs do read
But mummy's angel is in heaven
And bibs he does not need
He does not need a bottle
A jumper 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, they taunt me
From high up on the rack
Tears will break from my eyes
If ever I look back
I run off to the bathroom
To blow my nose and cry
I wipe my eyes, swallow hard,
And then let out a sigh
I must go face the paper
Erasers and wide rule
That he, my little angel
Will never use in school
I hurry past the greetings cards
That people choose with care
And then I am reminded
Of 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 from the local store
Used to be mundane
Now every aisle is full of items
That remind me of my pain
So, quick as I can, I give the cashier
The money from my purse
And hurry from those who don't know my pain
In this foreignly happy universe.

Mothers Day A kiss to you on mothers day A hug from me to you I know that you are sad sometimes I know that you are blue Please wipe away that tear Put on a happy face For I'm with God in heaven now Oh mummy, what a wonderful place! God gave me wings so I could fly They are white with a hint of blue I'm a big boy mummy, with these wings of mine They carry me down to visit you God is teaching me how to catch your prayers Prayers that come as wishes Your wish is the same everyday A wish that I could have stayed I have a prayer for you now mummy I pray that you will hear God needed me here with Him I have no pain or fear For I am an angel now you see I watch over you each night and day A little piece of heaven on earth Guiding you on your way I come to tuck you in each night As you wanted to do with me I hear your prayers and kiss your cheek Then I watch you dream Before I leave you and go back home I look at you and sigh And as I fly back to heaven I sing you a lull-a-bye A kiss to you on mothers day A hug from me to you I love you mummy, please don't cry You'll get to hold me soon.

No one sees the broken heart That lies beneath my smile No one sees the loneliness That's with me all the while Silent tears gently fall That others do not see For my precious Bailey Who meant the world to me Love mummy xxx

An angel with the book of life Wrote down my sons birth And whispered as he closed the book Much too beautiful for earth

A million times I've needed you A million times I've cried If love alone could have saved you You would have never died In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a special place That none will ever fill It broke my heart to lose you But you did not go alone For part of me went with you The day called you home.

On the day of Bailey's funeral we played a song going in and a song going out. We picked these songs because of the words and they've since become 'Bailey's songs' You'll Be In My Heart Come stop your crying it will be alright Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from all around you I will be here don't you cry For one so small, you seem so strong My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm This bond between us can't be broken I will be here don't you cry Cuz you'll be in my heart Yes you' ll be in my heart From this day on Now and forevermore.
