Poem for thought...

Time spent with you
Was so very precious
Even if only for a very short time
I hold a special memory
Close inside this heart of mine
To me you were very special
Much more than words can say
I still love you now little angel
And I'll remember you every day.

This poem was also written in memory of James

Still there? Yep! GrIeF!

I'll Hold You in Heaven
From the very beginning I loved you,

As I made plans to hold you and rock you:

You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,

But something went wrong and soon you were gone;

My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,

I'd never known such heartache and pain.
I wonder who you look like, me or your dad,

Do you have my smile and his eyes?

Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?

We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.

It was long, long ago

and I still miss you so,Thanks to Jesus,

I'll see you in heaven.
I'll hold you in heaven someday,

When my trials on earth pass away;

The angels have rocked you, the Father watches over you,

I know you're waiting for me;

I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye",

But I'll hold you in heaven someday.

In loving memory of Darrell Keith and Melody Joy Taylor.

Another year...

As the school year winds down and the summer approaches, It makes me wonder.. Wonder about life with Taylor. Who would he look like, what would be his favorite food. He would be going to preschool this fall, and who would his teacher be. And then I think that he has the best teacher of all. Heavenly Father. And he does have a brother with him- One who sacrificed everything so that we could see him again. At times it seems unbearable to not have him on earth. To not hold him, feed him, play, laugh, cry, anything. But I know that we WILL see him again and I will be able to raise him.
