Poems for all you that are suffering a lose....

Footprints in the Sand - Poem


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”




JESUS, IS HE WITH YOU?

Jesus is he with you?
I wonder every day
I sit and wonder why he's gone
And why he could not stay

Every part of me is empty
I fell I can't go on
But then I look to heaven
I hear this beautiful song

Mommy I am with him
He holds me in his arms
When every I am with him
he keeps me safe and warm

He says you shouldn't worry
I am safe and loved right here
With all the other baby angels
that passed within the years

We have a special place up here
He thought that you should know
Where the Blessed Mother takes
your place for now until you show

When I hear this precious little voice
From the heavens above
I know that all the angels
are showering him with love

For everyone that wants to hear
their babies voice so innocent and sweet
Just close your eyes and begin to pray
and embrace them in your sleep.




Remember That I Love You

Remember that I love you,
as your lifeless body I hold.
Remember that I love you,
as you walk down streets of gold.

Remember daddy loves you,
he's been very sad since you've been gone.
Remember daddy loves you,
in his heart you'll always live on.

Remember Shania and Mercy,
they love you so much too.
They can't wait to see you in heaven,
when they can play with you.

And don't forget your littlest sis,
even though she's young, she still knows
that you are precious to us all.
She blows you a kiss from Kierra Rose.

So now it's time to say "good-bye"
until I see you again.
I will try not to cry everyday,
If you promise to remember when.

Remember when you were here,
with mommy and daddy at home.
Remember how deeply you are loved,
and that you'll never be alone.

So it's a short good-bye until then,
I look forward to holding you.
Have fun with Jesus, family, and friends,
and once in awhile, think of us too.




"For A Moment"

I saw for just a moment, your little arms and legs.
The little blur they said was you, but now you've gone away.

I heard for just a moment,the beating of your heart.
The sound that held such promise, but soon it would depart.

I dreamt for just a moment,of the day I'd hold you tight.
I'd listen for your little breath, and rock you through the night.

I cried for just a moment, when they said that you had gone.
I laid alone in silence, that seemed so very long.

I prayed for just a moment,that you would be reborn.
Into my arms you would come and forever would be warm.

I was for just a moment, the mother of a child.
Who laughed and cried and ment so much, if only for a while.

In that single moment,when I finally said farewell.
I knew that we would meet again little baby, for time will only tell.




Mommy's Arms Are Empty

Today is the due date
For you to be born.
But all I have is
An emptiness to mourn.

Mommy's arms are empty
With no baby to hold.
My heart feels heavy.
The weather is cold.

This should have been the time
For the anticipation of your arrival.
But no one seems to be remembering
To share in my grief or sorrow.

You were a life
Created from love.
You were a gift
That was sent from above.

Why couldn't you join us
To become a family of four.
You'd have had parents who loved you
And a brother whom you'd adore.

But Mommy's arms are empty
With no baby to hold.
My heart feels heavy.
The weather is cold.

Grandpa's birthday is getting nearer.
The date we told your brother you would be here.
Instead of excitement, joy, and celebration,
I shed yet another tear.

Your nursery is still the computer room.
Your bassinet is down in a box.
Your blankies remain folded
With your tiny baby clothes and your cute little socks.

There isn't a day that goes by
When I haven't thought of you.
Calculating how far along my pregnancy would be
Or how big my tummy would be getting, too.

But Mommy's arms are empty
With no baby to hold.
My heart feels heavy.
The weather is cold.

I know that you have gone
To a much better place.
Knowing that the grace of God
Is shining on your face.

I see another baby.
I think of you then, too.
Wondering what you'd have looked like
As you giggle, cry, and coo.

But I will never know these things
Because you will never be here.
But in my heart you'll always be
My baby, my angel, my dear.

It doesn't make it easier.
For the pain I have is still here.
I will never forget you, my little one.
That fact remains quite clear.

But Mommy's arms are empty
With no baby to hold.
My heart feels heavy.
The weather is still cold.





My Angel Baby

To the baby that I carried
But never seen your eyes
Or tell you how much I loved you
Or ever to hear your cries.

You will never be forgotten
The excitement we had for your coming.
When I realized I'd never hold you,
The feeling I had was numbing.
My angel baby is who you are.
My angel baby you'll always be.
Your loving memory will live in my heart
So you will always be right here with me.






Rest in Peace
By Maia Bliss

Rest in peace, my little son.
Your life was over before it begun.
You were with me for not much time,
Five short months that you were mine.
Then one day you had to go,
The reason why we'll never know.

The night you were born, I knew in my heart,
You will always be with me though we're apart.
You were so tiny but perfect to me,
Little fingers and toes, perfect as can be.
I held you in my arms, I didn't want to let go,
Here's a few things I want you to know.........

When you left you took a part of me,
Something that no one can see.
You have my heart with you always
Even on the cloudiest days.
Your brother and sister love you too,
Even though they never saw you.

When you felt mommy and daddy give you that kiss.........
You're forever in our hearts
MICHAEL GREGORY  BLISS

Love you always
Mommy, Daddy, Kiera & John Jr.
