A poem for Chirs by Dawn Elmore

I TRY TO BE STRONG, MY CHILD,AND LET MY LIFE GO ON.
SOME
DAYS IT'S HARD TO FIND THE STRENGTH
I NEED TO BE
SO STRONG.
I THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD'VE BEEN
AND
WHAT SHOULD BE TODAY, I THINK ABOUT YOU
CONSTANTLY,
FOR ON MY MIND YOU STAY. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO TELL YOU ,
SON JUST WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME,
I HOLD YOU CLOSE INSIDE
MY HEART AND CHERISH EVERY MEMORY.
THIS PAIN AND
EMPTINESS I CARRY INSIDE
WON'T SEEM TO GO AWAY, GOD
KNOWS HOW BAD I MISS YOU...
HE HEARS MY PRAYERS EVERYDAY.
I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS, FOR I'D
NEVER MAKE IT THROUGH,
I MET ALOT OF FRIENDS,YOU SEE,
WHO LOST THEIR ANGEL TOO.
THEY NEVER SHY AWAY FROM
ME OR PRETEND MY PAIN'S NOT REAL,
FOR THEY KNOW THE EMPTINESS I FEEL
INSIDE THAT TIME WON'T EVER
HEAL. SOME CAN SAY THEY UNDERSTAND
OR SAY WHAT'D THEY DO
IF THEY WERE ME, HOW CAN SOMEONE
WHO'S NEVER LOST A CHILD EVEN
BEGIN TO SEE? WHEN ALL YOU LOVE GOES AWAY AND
LEAVES YOU ALL ALONE, IT'S AS IF YOU'RE WORLD'S
STOPPED TURNING AND ALL YOUR DAYS ARE GONE.
YOU SEE, MY CHILD, I'VE MADE IT THROUGH BECAUSE OF
OTHERS JUST LIKE ME, ALL YOU ANGELS KEEP US CLOSE
UNTIL
ETERNITY! SPREAD YOUR LOVELY WINGS AROUND THE
ONES
SO SMALL AND NEW,TAKE THEM BY THEIR PRECIOUS HAND
AND
TELL THEM YOU MISS YOUR MOMMY TOO. UNTIL WE ALL
UNITE AGAIN
STAY CLOSE TO ALL YOUR ANGEL FRIENDS...
LET THEM KNOW WE LOVE
AND MISS YOU ALL
AND IN HEAVEN WE'LL NEVER PART AGAIN!
WE LOVE YOU ALL,PRECIOUS ANGELS!

 My tears fall for you Chris
Herman and Angie. 

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
I'd like walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.

Thinking of You Always,

What Makes a Mother 

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
And I know I heard him say.
A Mother has a baby
This we know is true.
But God, can you be a Mother
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can, He replied
With confidence in His voice
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this, God
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat
And then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say:
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
Of love and life and fear.
My Mummy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mum
Who had so much love for me
I learned my lesson very quickly
My Mummy set me free.
I miss my Mummy oh so much
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear.
"Mummy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here."
So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are ok
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home
They'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start.

Lord I thank U 4 giving Chris 2 Pinky & Daddy O

15 1/2 yrs the laughing the crying the

Broken Hearts

I know those three broke our hearts
We knew you had to go
With crying tears down our cheeks
and
suffering hearts in prayer
We knew you couldn't stay
What was done was done
but we know we will see you again.
Then our hearts will mend.

The Cord / Jeri Majette ~Mom To Laquan~
God Bless U. (Memorial Friend


We are connected,
My child and I
By an invisible cord
Not seen by the eye
It's not like the cord
That connected us till birth
This cord can't be seen
By anyone on earth.

This cord does it's work
Right from the start
It bonds us together
Attached at the heart
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me. 



Little did we know that morning
What sorrow the day would bring.
Our loss was great, the shock severe
To part with one we loved so dear.
We could not say our last farewell
Or even say good-bye
For you were gone before we knew
And only God knows why.

Margarita Santiago (friend) 





Poem to a Son / Daddy-O

A senseless act, a violent
boy,
Two lives were gone, one left alone,
We wept and prayed , and tried to claim,
A miracle that never came,
It was so wrong, the deed that happened,

Two boys were gone,
but will never be
forgotten,
My Chris was strong, but knew his fate,
He wanted life, but it was too late,
He always was, the one to give,
Now in his death, three more can live,
He gave the ultimate, the gift of living,
Now no one can harm him, he is forgiven,
I am so proud on this
Father's Day,
I have a Hero who will never fade away. 
 

Shadows fall, and life becomes so difficult to bear....
Yet sunshine comes through memories
and the love of those who care.
We may not always understand when troubles come our way
and just why sad things happen,
We cannot always say....
But may it be a comfort to know that friends are there,
and may it somehow help to know that others care.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Debbie
(Daughter of Danny Chenault)


My dad is a survivor too
which is no surprise to me.
He's always been like a lighthouse
that helps you cross a stormy sea.

But, I walk with my dad each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others;
He cries when no one's around.

I watch him sit up late at night
with my picture in his hand.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wishes he could understand.

My dad is like a tower of strength.
He's the greatest of them all!
But, there are times when he needs to cry...
Please be there when he falls.

Hold his hand or pat his shoulder...
And tell him it's okay.
Be his strength when he's sad,
Help him mourn in his own way.

Now, as I watch over my precious dad
from the Heavens up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor...
And, I can still feel his love.

~ Author Unknown ~


Through his precious gift of life others live.
What a valuable thought!

He is safely at Home in our Father's House,
in a building not made by man.

God be with you Herman, on this special day.

~ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives. (Jn. 14:27) ~ 





Hugs From Heaven

When you feel a gentle breeze
caress you when you sigh,
It's a hug sent from Heaven
from a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
lands upon your nose,
It's just a little angel's kiss
as fragile as a rose.

When you hear a song
that fills you with a
feeling of sweet love,
It's a hug sent down from Heaven
from someone special up above.

If you wake up in the morning
to a bluebird's chirping song,
It's music sent from Heaven
to cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
land upon your face,
It's a whisper sent from Heaven
all trimmed with angel lace.

So let your heart be joyful
if you're lonely, my dear friend,
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
a broken heart will mend.
