PrayersAngel of GodAngel of God,my Guardian Dear To whom His love commits me here, Ever this day, be at my side, To light and guard, To rule and guide. Amen Prayer for Those Who SufferFor those who suffer,and those who cry this night, give them repose, Lord; a pause in their burdens. Let there be minutes where they experience peace, not of man but of angels. Love them, Lord, when others cannot. Hold them, Lord, when we fail with human arms. Hear their prayers and give them the ability to hear You back in whatever language they best understand. Margaret A. Davidson © 1996 by Margaret A. Davidson, All Rights Reserved Guardian Angel PrayerGuardian Angel from heaven so bright,Watching beside me to lead me aright, Fold thy wings round me, and guard me with love, Softly sing songs to me of heaven above. Amen. Oh God, let this flame kindle in meOh God, let this flame kindle in me the assurance of your presence,let it warm my soul so that I might find courage, strength and hope in each hour that you walk with me.

Eternal GodEternal God, who sends consolation to all sorrowing hearts,we turn to You for solace in this, our trying hour. Though bowed in grief as our loved one departs from our midst to enter into peace of life eternal, we reaffirm our faith in Your compassion and Your ever-present love. May we bear our sorrow with trustful hearts, and knowing You are near, may we not despair. Into Your hands we commend the spirit of our beloved. Body and soul are Yours, O God, and in Your presence we cast off fear and are at peace. "There is no death, what we call death. Is but surcease from strife; They do not die who we call dead, They go from life ... to Life." Randall M. Falk Rabbi Emeritus, The Temple QuotesThe death of a baby is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool; the concentric ripples of despair sweep out in all directions, affecting many, many people. --De Frain, 1991 Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come. --Rabindranath Tagore Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world. --Jean Paul Richter PoetryWhen you feel LonelyWhen You feel LonelyWhen a person you love passes away Look to the night sky on a clear day. The star that to you, appears to be bright, Will be your loved one, Looking upon you during the night. The lights of heaven are what shows through As your loved one watches all that you do. When you feel lonely for the one that you love, Look to the Heavens in the night sky above. Author unknown Tiny AngelsTiny Angels rest your wingssit with me for awhile. How I long to hold your hand, And see your tender smile. Tiny Angel, look at me, I want this image clear.... That I will forget your precious face Is my biggest fear. Tiny Angel can you tell me, Why you have gone away? You weren't here for very long.... Why is it, you couldn't stay? Tiny Angel shook his head, "These things I do not know.... But I do know that you love me, And that I love you so". Author Unknown The CordWe are connected,My child and I, by An invisible cord Not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord That connects us 'til birth This cord can't been 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 The invisible cord From my child to me. The strength of this cord Is 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, Though you'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 am thankful that God Connects us this way A mother and child Death can't take it away! Author Unknown RemembranceRemembrance is a golden chainDeath tries to break, but all in vain. To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never. Like memories of those happy times When we were all together. Authur Unknown Mother's SongI've lost my baby daughter,Though not misplaced. I feel she's somewhere Bound by neither time nor space. Perhaps she sits before the Throne With radiant face. She could be dancing happily Like little girls do With golden taps beneath Each precious little shoe. I know she must love music, So I'm sure it's true. I'm grateful that in Heaven She is healthy and strong And that she's lulled to sleep each night By Heaven's song, But I wish I could hold her; Is that terribly wrong? I sang so often to her While she was with me And I will go on listening For her harmony. How sweet to know I'll hear it In eternity. Lisa L. Easterling Copyright 1990 LullabyWhat I wouldn't giveTo have you in my arms again, Breathe your scent And snuggle close to you. I want to watch you sleep, See your chest rise and fall In peaceful slumber. Let me lay my hand Over your heart, So I can Feel it beating Beneath my touch. I want to be Lulled to sleep By its rhythm. ~~ by Tara Simms Don't Tell MePlease don't tell me you know how I feel,Unless you have lost your child too, Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal, Because that is just not true, Please don't tell me my son is in a better place, Though it is true, I want him here with me, Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face, Beyond today I cannot see, Don?t tell me it is time to move on, Because I cannot, Don?t tell me to face the fact he is gone, Because denial is something I can't stop, Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had, Because I wanted more, Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad, I'll never be as I was before, What you can tell me is you will be here for me, That you will listen when I talk of my child, You can share with me my precious memories, You can even cry with me for a while, And please don't hesitate to say his name, Because it is something I long to hear everyday, Friend please realize that I can never be the same, But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday. Judi Walker (In Memory of Shane) Copyright 1998 The Clock Ticks OnThe clock ticks onWhile my soul bleeds slowly And the aching of my empty arms Cries softly, like a child in the night I examine the hole in my Self That remains where once a baby smiled at me amidst diapers and worries And long sleepless nights That then were spent in caring But now are spent in silent dry tears Listening As the clock ticks on © 2000 by Kathleen P. Leach. All rights reserved. I am not thereDo not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the snow on the mountain's rim, I am the laughter in children's eyes, I am the sand at the water's edge, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain, When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the star that shines at night, Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
