When God calls little children
to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of his love.
For no heartache compares 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 to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before he can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so he takes but a few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still
somehow we must try,
The saddest 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.


If I knew it would have been the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would have tucked you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would have been the last time 
that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would have given you another hug and kiss
and called you back for many more.

If I knew it would have be the last time 
To see you dance and play,
I would have video taped each action and word, 
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would have been the last time, 
I would have spared an extra minute to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you knew I did.

If I knew it would have been the last time 
I would have be there to share your day,
instead of assuming you had so many more.

I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope now people realize 
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance 
you get to hold your loved one tight. 

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear 
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay." 
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

The loss of a child no matter what age
Doesn't seem to ease the pain.
Whether it be one day or a lifetime of memories
In your heart they'll always be.

How do you stop a parent from feeling the pain
Their life has changed and will never be the same.
Their child s face will always stay in their mind
Remembering of things and times gone by.

The emptiness that you feel in your heart
Is a feeling that will never part.
It's as if a finger or a hand has been taken away
And you try to adjust and can't find the way.

It's like one minute you can see and the next
Minute you've gone blind, and there is 
Nothing that you can find.

You wander helplessly in a deep fog
Not knowing where you're going
Or where you've been, and your 
screaming and cursing is a downright sin.

God had plans for your child you see
And this is the way that it has to be.
Your child was chosen because there
Is a job that must be done
And god felt he/ she was the perfect one.

The pains you feel while here on earth
Is nothing compared to when you see 
Your child s new birth.
