                                       LITTLE ANGEL

                         WHEN GOD CALLS LITTLE CHILDREN

                          TO DWELL WITH HIM ABOVE

                         WE MORTALS SOMETIME QUESTION

                         THE WISTOM OF HIS LOVE

                         FOR NO HEARTACHE CAN COMPARE WITH

                         THE DEATH OF ONE SMALL CHILD

                         WHO DOES SO MUCH TO MAKE OUR WORLD

                         SEEM WONDERFUL AND MILD

                         PERHAPS GOD TIRES OF CALLING

                         THE AGED INTO HIS FOLD

                         SO HIS PICKS A ROSEBUD

                         BEFORE IT CAN GROW OLD

                        GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE NEED THEM

                        AND SO HE TAKES BUT FEW

                        TO MAKE THE LAND OF HEAVEN

                        MORE BEAUTIFUL TO VIEW

                 

                        BELIEVING THIS IS DIFFUCULT

                        STILL SOMEHOW WE MUST TRY

                        THE SADEST WORD MANKIND KNOWS

                       WILL ALWAYS BE "GOODBYE"

                       SO WHEN A  LITTLE CHILD DEPARTS

                       WE,WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND

                       MUST REALIZE GOD LOVES CHILDREN

                       "ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND"

                       SADLY MISSED BY HER PARENTS

                       SHE HAS BEEN AN ANGEL FOR 1 YEAR NOW

 

                                           Amanda

MEMORIES

 

Life stands still and aches with memories.

Memories that aches so deeply of a precious life cut too short.

My son Patrick who left me behind to grieve

a loss that has no words, no definition,

no explanation, no concept.

I am left only with sorrowful feelings that linger deep

within my wounded soul reminding me to hold on to those

bittersweet memories.

These memories which came from a life that I love

so dearly and treasure.

God, help me to keep those powerful memories

because today I cherish them more than my own existence,

for it is my memories of my son Patrick, who is my life and

my light until the end.

 

Dedicated to my son Patrick Christian Barbosa
