Our Son
by: Ellen Oosterom

Our baby boy was born today
and much too soon was taken away.
His life was short, his love lives on.
He is our first born baby son.
His touch, his kiss we will never feel.
The joy of him will help us heal.
To look at him and see his toes,
his fingers ears , eyes and nose,
is such a beautiful sight to see.
Thsi gift of love for you and me.

But through the pain one thing remains
Our love grows strong and strength we gain.
Because of you, our baby boy.
Liam , you are our pride and joy.

Surrounded by all of Heaven's beauty
You'd think there was nothing to compare
But when I look down on you mommy
I see a beauty, a kindness so rare.

While you were weeping and so sad mommy
I was lying beside you right there
I wanted so much to see you smile, a special smile for me
I'm sorry we ever had to part
But know I am always with you right inside your heart.

Jesus is there holding you close
He wants your pain to take
For you to be happy is what I want most
From the nightmare you feel you sometimes are living
I wish for you to wake.

I am doing just fine mommy
Please don't weep so for me
In Heaven I play and think of you
Each and every day.

It's ok though to cry for me mommy
Just know I am with you still
And Jesus all your hurts will heal.
When you feel like you can't go on any longer
Just think of me happy and loved in Heaven
And let your joy grow stronger.

Your baby Liam I will always be
Nothing will change that not even all eternity
Not the space that separates us, not the pain you feel
Time may not completely heal the pain you feel so deep
But I am with you always mommy, Even when you sleep
I am the happy thoughts that creep into your mind
I am yours forever mommy, until the ends of time.

Love,
Liam


Mother, please don't mourn for me;
I'm still here, though you can't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight--
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach--
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which your're so fond--
The cool clear water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll wisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me Mommy, I'm everyplace !

Looking Down From Heaven

I'm looking down from Heaven, Mommy
I don't like to see you cry.
I remember how you loved me.
I did not want to say good bye

I don't ever get lonely.
At night Jesus rocks me to sleep.
I play with the other little angels.
From cloud to cloud we leap.

There's a new little angel here
His Mommy is very sad.
Her heart is surely broken
and like you she hurts so bad.

Could you something for me Mommy?
If it's not too much to ask?
You were always so gentle and kind to me
So I know you are up to the task.

You see, I'm trying to helpthis angel.
He misses his Mommy so.
And as we look down together from heaven.
There's something you should know.

We will soon be all together.
But there is time to pass til then.
Could you hold her a little while
and try to be her friend?

We don't like to see you crying
up here in Angel Land
So instead of pointing fingers
Could you please just take her hand?

It will make us both feel better
As we look down from up above.
If you are holding u each other
and remembering us with love.
