Baby Max Now You Are  3

A star that shines so bright
Up in the sky at night.

You are missed by all each day
And together we all pray.

Be safe little man up there
As life is just not fair.

Proud we are to say 
Your Mum & Dad are here for you everyday.

Brother and sisters too.
Rejoice their thoughts of you.

Friends & famliy proud of them all
For keeping the memory alive though it all.

Three years have past not a moment forgot
The memory of Angel Max.

Shine today Baby Max
It's your special day.

Heaven is blessed to have you
And boy do we now it's true.

Big kisses to you little Max sweet dreams.

 

Sending you lots of hugs and kisses on your 3rd birthday

Lots of love always Laura John & Nancy-Jane

My wish for you  / Mummy

My Wish lyrics By Rascal Flatts

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

 

For my precious four children, this is my wish for you

All my love

Mummy

Making you proud  / Mummy

I won’t see you crawl, walk or run
I won’t hear you cry or shout out mum
I won’t take you to school, or bake u a cake
So many milestones you will never make.

I will however, always be
Stronger for loving you and for you loving me
I know how precious my loved one’s are
I know how to love people near or far

I appreciate my living babies but will never recover
From not seeing them play with their new little brother
Though I’ll always miss you and feel so sad
I know my life will not be always be bad

Bad things happen, for that I am sure
And for losing someone you love there just isn’t a cure
But I will smile again for the people I have here
Holding them close and keeping them near

And when it is our time to be together once more
I hope you’ll be proud that mummy didn’t crumble to the floor

 

This was written by Vicky H, for her precious son Jack.

The Christmas Present  / Mummy
Its Christmas and I'll miss you
you'll never know how much,
The greatest present I could get
would be just to feel your touch.

I know you're safe in Gods arms
and your as happy as can be
and i know im being selfish
to want you here with me.

Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by you'll see,
just promise me on Christmas day
that you will think of me. Close

Christmas Lights in Heaven  / Mummy
At Christmas time we trim our tree
With gifts and candy canes
And go for joyful sleigh rides
Down sparkling snow filled lanes.

We fill our homes with tinsel
Our hearts with Christmas cheer
We're all a little nicer
At this lovely time of year.

Stores are filled with shoppers
Streets are trimmed in green
Carolers on each corner
Tis' quite a lovely scene.

But we cannot know the beauty
The splendor or the love
Of Christmas time in heaven
With our Saviour up above.

The light that shines from Jesus
Stands out from all the rest
Of all the Christmas time displays
His is by far the best.

Like diamonds shining in the sun
You'll find His flaming light
Like a million candles burning
In the middle of the night.

The colors found in heaven
Have such a wondrous glow
And you'll find a world of beauty
Where the golden rivers flow.

There won't be gifts or mistletoe
Nor stately Christmas tree
But the throne of God will glisten
With the Blessed Trinity.

for Max  / Ang Carew
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

Chorus: and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (dance), I hope you dance (dance)

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance.. (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance... (rolling us along)
I hope you dance...(tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance.... (where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance (dance) (hold for 2 4 counts), I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you dance... (dance) (time is wheel in constant motion always)

Max,

Holy Innocents  / Mummy
Sleep, little baby, sleep;

The Holy Angels love thee,

And guard thy bed and keep

A blessed watch over thee.

No spirit can come near

Nor evil beast to harm thee:

Sleep, sweet deviod of fear

Where nothing need alarm thee.



The Love which doth not sleep,

The eternal arms around thee:

The shepherd of the sheep

In perfect love hath found thee.

Sleep through the holy night,

Chrst-kept from snare and sorrow,

Until thou wake to light

And love and warmth tomorrow.

For Sian...  / Angie Hurst
The Girl I Used To Be

She came tonight as I sat alone...
The girl I used to be...
And she gazed at me with her earnest eye
And questioned reproachfully:

Have you forgotten the many plans
And hopes I had for you?
The great career, the splendid fame,
all the wonderful things to do?

Where is the mansion of stately height
With all its gardens rare?
The silken robes that I dreamed for you
And the jewels in your hair?

And as she spoke, I was very sad
For I wanted her pleased with me...
This slender girl from the shadowy past
The girl that I used to be.
So gently rising, I took her hand
And guided her up the stairs
Where peacefully sleeping, my baby lay
Innocent, sweet, and fair.

And I told her that this was my only gem,
And how precious it was to me;
That silken robes is my motherhood
Of costly simplicity.

And my mansion of stately height is love,
And the only career I know
Is serving each day in these sheltered walls
For the dear ones who come and go

And as I spoke to my shadowy guest,
She smiled through her tears at me.
And I saw the woman that I am now
Pleased the girl I used to be.

And God Said...  / Mummy
And God Said
(unknown)

I said, "God I hurt"
And God said, "I know"

I said, "God, I cry alot"
And God said, "That's why I gave you
tears."

I said, "Life is so hard!"
And God said, "That's why I gave you
loved ones"

I said, "But my loved one died!!"
And God said, "So did mine!!"

I said, "It's such a great loss!!"
And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a
cross!!"

I said, "But your loved one lives!!"
And God said, "So does yours!!"

I said, "Where is He now?"
And God said, "My Son is by my side, and
Your Son is in my arms!!"

Babyloss Awareness Day  / Mummy
Take a moment of your day
To maybe sit and in your mind
Think of all the precious babies
Yours, theirs and mine

Those whose short lives were over
Before they had really ever begun
Those precious little bundles
Who have made us all a Mum

Their tiny lives have touched us all
And what I want to say
They have brought us all together
Each and every day

The babies whose beautiful faces
In our minds forever will be
Whose names are etched within our hearts
For anyone, the whole world to see

The babies who touched our lives
Who we think of through our tears
I hope in time we will be able to smile
When we remember them through the years

So this week while we remember
All our babies who had to go
We shall show the world we are united
And how we love and miss them so Close

Beautiful Max  / Mummy

I have just watched your DVD all the way through, how strange the choice of songs we made for it.  Listening to the words in the songs I wonder if I always knew.  I said it often enough.  Hindsight is a powerful thing eh?

But it was beautiful to watch, the physical pain is still there Max, not everyday but so raw again now.  Watching you open your mouth, smile and seeing you with your eyes open means so much when you have so little, I am so grateful I have that.

I really really miss you.  You are so much like the others and I see so much of you in Heidi.  She has your chubby cheeks.

I can feel myself starting to relive the events and I dont want to do that, I want to remember the good things, the precious time not the negative, painful ones.  Send me some kisses please.  I long to touch you again, I would give almost anything to hold you, I remember your warm skin and fuzzy hair, then the coldness of you and even that wasnt awful, it seems strange to take so much from so little.  But I am grateful Max, really I am, I am so proud to have had you and I would do it all again, if I just could just hold you one more time.

I love you little man.

Child / Mummy

A tiny life is growing
Inside a cosy place
His arms and legs are flailing
A smile is on his face.
His mother feels a tiny kick
Upon her rounded tummy
and waits impatiently for the day
When she becomes a mummy.
The baby’s smile is fading
But his eyes are open wide
He knows that he’ll be leaving soon
But will never see outside.
There aren’t so many kicks now
In fact there’s none at all
Gran says that baby’s sleeping
and keeps knitting up his shawl.
His life is draining quickly
But no-one knows a thing
A tiny smile fleets his face
When he hears his mother sing.
He knows that he’ll remember her
and the things he heard her say
Peacefully and happily
The baby drifts away.
Mummy knows that something’s wrong
and is at the hospital before too long
A scan is done and doctor says
“I’m sorry, baby’s gone”.
The grief is overwhelming
The sadness takes its toll
Friends and family gather round
As he’s buried in his shawl.
As time goes by and lapses on
His mother sheds a tear
and hears these words inside her head
“Mum I’m always here,
I’ll never ever leave you
Although you may not know
I’ll be beside you every day
Through laughter, joy and woe.
You’ll never need to miss me
For I am in your heart
and though we’re in two different worlds
We’ll never be apart”.

A season of grief  / Mummy
I will always be the mother of this child.
His death did not end that relationship,
his absence from this world does not separate our spirits
or break the ties of our love.
And if there is a wound in my heart that is cold and scarred
and will not heal, it is not a wound that disables me.
For every time I feel that scarred area of my heart,
I remember that only the fire of an intensely burning love
could have made such a mark on me,
and the fire of that love is more powerful than the scar it left."

A Season of Grief by Ann Dawson

Heavenly Star  / Mummy

You know You’re always in my thoughts
Especially at night.
I love to view the midnight sky,
When the stars are extra bright.

There are several thousand stars
Each like a diamond prize.
They flash reflected rays of light
Just like your Daddy’s eyes.

As I view the heavenly astral plane,
Wondering which one is your light.
I guess it should be obvious -
The one that’s shining bright.

The twinkling gems, are flawless,
Priceless , - free to view,
All so close, yet far away.
I’m never far from you.

One year on  / Mummy

Today is a year to the day of your balloon release.  What a difference a year makes.  The weather is glorious at the moment!!

Your little sister is here, safe and well and just gorgeous.  And my head is beginning to clear.  I miss you in a different way now, not a raw stabbing pain but a clear and gentle pain with a smile.

Max you have done so much for so many in your short time.  Just again tonight you have been the inspiration for more change.

Stay with me.  I will love you always.  My precious forever baby.

All my love

Mummy
