Eyes to the Heavens, the sky up above,
Tears falling gently, carries our love,
The hopes, candles and whispers that once held your names,
Since news broke of your passing, no one will be the same.
I sit here in silence, my heart hurting so bad,
I try not to hate THEM, try not to be so mad.
How could they do this? My thoughts won't stop turning,
My anger is boiling, my insides are churning.
I sit here and imagine justice, vengeance, your pain,
How can we stop something like this from happening again?
A child is purity, innocence, trust and love,
There are too many children watching us fight for them from above.
A child is so helpless, they have no defense,
To hurt them? There is NO acceptable circumstance!
They come into this world, to be loved and nurtured,
Too many leave, their tiny bodies and spirits butchered.
Some have harm done by a parent,
Or some by a stranger,
Some suffered too long in silence,
Others fell victim to quick danger.
The memories and the faces, of these little ones harmed,
There is just way too many, I've become so alarmed!
I will shout it to the masses, from every rooftop if I must!
SOMEONE has to take notice, someone has to see things just!
If just one person, who has caused a child pain,
Spends that one extra day in prison, Then my voice is not in vain.
The questions are many, as are my tears,
Why does this happen? Or when again is my fear.
My heart breaks for these babies,
Justice for them, cannot be filled with a maybe.
Tori, Riley, Peter and Kelsey,
Cohen, Alex, Maddie and Chelsey,
Just a few names from a list of too many.
Rest In Peace Sweet Little Angels,
Our Voices will continue fighting for you. SLC
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November
FOR MONDAY
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.
FOR TUESDAY
I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.
FOR THURSDAY
Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.
FOR FRIDAY
Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home
The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain
But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace
Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.
FOR SATURDAY
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
FOR SUNDAY
When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place
The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end
Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me
So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby

Darling Little Angel
You are missed by soo many, those who never knew you before you were taken.
You have touched my heart and I pray for you and your family.
You went missing on my daughters first birthday and the sadness touched my soul.
I hoped you would be safe and God would guide you home but he did, to his home, where you will not hurt or suffer, where you will play with the angels and make your mark in heaven as you did here on earth.
Only time will help heal and you will live in all of our hearts for a lifetime.
Justice will be served by God for those who took you from us, your smile, your laugh and your innocence will be with me always.
May you rest in Gods arms and look down on your mommy, daddy and brother always.
Pray that their broken hearts will heal, be with them always and let them feel your presence.
I pray that you are at peace and that all of the evil is now behind you, you are safe and will never hurt again little angel.
Emma
Si j'avais le pouvoir de remonter le temps,petite Victoria, je le ferai.
C'est trop injuste.
On te reverra dans une autre vie, un autre monde.
Keep My Memory
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day

GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS

In The Light.
A shadow of joy flickered, it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are embedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned.
I am In The Light.
In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard...
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish, it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind.
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way, a way that now has it's focus changed.
I still crave your understanding and long for the
many words of prayer and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently.
Sometimes, I summon up all the strength of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness.
As you should, I call out to the Heaven's for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.
Mother, Father, son or daughter, it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection - friend or even foe - I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
Our love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had
when we were together in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly, you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you and I am in the Light.

A princess we'll never forget
Sweetie you were taken way too soon & only God knows why. Your smiling face in your pictures caused us to love you & your family as they have gone through more than any family should. We will never forget you baby & will watch for your star in the heavens. I know that you are happy in heaven with Jesus, loved ones & your new home. Some day we will meet baby girl.
