This is the poem that was read at Lexi's service
2 little hands – that will never grip
2 little legs that no longer kick
A delicate face that will never cry
And tiny hands that can’t wave goodbye
2 precious feet that will never walk
Soft, red lips that will never talk
But a beautiful soul that has gone up above
And left me with feelings and memories of love
Angel Wings
A precious angel slipped away, no one heard a cry.
No time for Dad and Mommy to sing me lullabies.
My time with you was much too short. I had to leave too soon,
But love had joined us as I grew inside my Mommy's womb.
It wove it's way within our hearts, in all our hopes and dreams,
Until the very purest love became my tiny wings.
Although I could not stay with you, I knew right from the start,
That once you felt your angel's love, you'd keep me in your hearts.
I'm just a little angel but my time was not in vain.
As dark clouds that surround you give way unto the sun,
My precious parents you will see that any heart will sing,
If only for a moment it is brushed by angel wings
He Only Takes The Best
God saw you getting tired,
A cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered come with me.
With broken hearts we loved you,
As we heard you'd passed away,
Although we loved you deeply
We could not make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best!
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
A million times we'll miss you,
A million times we'll cry,
If love could have saved you
You never would have died
No farewells were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
If tears could build a stairway,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again
Title Unknown
Because of you
I know I will somehow be stronger
Because of you
I know I will be more prepared for life
You will live forever in my soul
never to be forgotten
I will always love you.
You are my child.
Born Still
But Still Born
we'll NEVER truly part.
