Messages of Love
To, and From,
Our Child in Heaven…
Parent to Child in Heaven:
Now that you are gone,
my heart is broken.
But because you were once here,
it is completely filled with Love.
~~~~~
Child in Heaven to Parent:
Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.
~Angels of the Heart

~~~~~
Parent to Child in Heaven...
I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.
I felt your touch in the sun today
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.
I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain;
It seemed as each raindrop fell
it quietly said your name.
I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete;
You may have died...but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.
As long as the sun shines...
the wind blows...
the rain falls...
You will live on inside of me forever
for that is all my heart knows.

Child in Heaven to Parent:
I'm no longer by your side,
But there's no need to weep
I've left sweet recollections
I'm hoping you will keep.
Eternal joy and memories
stay in our hearts forever,
strengthening our special bond
That parting cannot sever.
And if times of loneliness
bring sorrow and dismay,
don't despair, for I am there
Just a memory away.
~ Rita S. Beer

When I close my eyes
You are here
Your charisma, your cheer, your tenderness
I feel you here
When I close my eyes
You are with me
Your spirit, your beauty, your charm
I feel you with me
When I close my eyes
You are in my arms
Your warmth, your compassion, your love
I feel you in my arms
No matter how far apart
Nor what the circumstance
I feel you here with me, in my arms - always
When I close my eyes

Child in Heaven to Parent:
ALWAYS WITH YOU
Your heart may be heavy and aching,
Now that I'm no longer here.
But, though you may shed many tears,
Let memories banish your fear.
My arms are no longer around you.
My lips cannot speak of my love.
But, I'm with you in spirit each day,
As I look down from Heaven above.
The house may be silent without me.
It doesn't mean I can't be there.
And, every night that you sleep,
Our love, in your dreams, we still share.
As you continue, alone on earth,
I'll be with you each step of the way.
I can still be the strength that you need,
To carry you through each new day.
Although, I know you can't see me,
Our spirits are joined as before.
So, whenever you feel uplifted,
Know it's me just loving you more.
In Heaven, we're given a gift
To still tend to the ones left behind.
So, smile when you think of me.
I remain in your heart and your mind.

Parent to Child in Heaven...
I remember everything about you
Your voice, your smile, your touch
The way you walked, the way you talked
The way you looked at me, meant so much
I remember all the words you said to me
Some funny, some kind, some wise
All of the things you did for me
I see now with different eyes
I remember every moment we shared
Seems like only yesterday
Or maybe it was eons ago
It's really hard to say
You are gone from me now
But one thing they can't take away
Your memory resides inside my heart
And lights up my darkest days

Child in Heaven to Parent:
You think I've gone, that I am dead, and life has lost it's will,
But look around, I am right there, living with you still
I watch your tears, I feel your pain - I see the things you do
I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul, it lives with you
It gives such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do
And when you smile o'er by gone days, I smile right with you too
For we're still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being
Walking forward into life, though only you are seen
And in the stillness of the night, when the pain it really starts
Stretch out a little with your mind and draw me to your heart
For I am always right in there, always by your side
For you have been, all my life's days, my joy, my love, my pride.

Parent to Child in Heaven:
It seems like only yesterday
I rocked you on my knee,
With dreams about the future and
What you were going to be.
You were so bright and happy
Such a precious little boy,
You gave your love to everyone
And filled our hearts with joy.
Strangers would admire you
And stop to say hello,
"He'll break a lot of hearts," they said,
"In twenty years or so."
But less than twenty years from then,
What they said came true,
As we were forced against our will
To say goodbye to you.
A life so short and unfulfilled,
With so much left to go,
"Why, oh why?" we ask ourselves,
When we all loved you so.
Life shows us many options,
But whichever path we take
The destination's still the same
Whatever choice we make.
So many questions flood our minds,
"What if, and Why and How?"
If we had done things differently,
Would you still be with us now?
I don't know what the lesson was
That you were sent here to learn,
But now your purpose is fulfilled
It's time for you to return.
When I hear the phone ring
I expect to hear you say,
"Alright Mom? What're you doing,
Can I come 'round today?"
But you don't need to ask now,
You're with us every day,
Within our hearts, our minds, our souls,
Your memory will stay.
No fear, no pain or sorrow,
Can touch you anymore
But the love you've left behind,
Will live with us forever more.

Child in Heaven to Parent:
...But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before…
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind…
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time…
And when its time for you to go...from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.
~ Ruth Ann Mahaffey

Parent to Child in Heaven...
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the Lord has chosen you to be with (H)im
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although (H)e has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me
