Dear Parents


I did not die young
I lived my span of life
Within your body
And within your love


If you would honour me
Then speak my name
And number me among your family


If you would honour me
Then strive to live in love
For in that love, I live


Never, ever doubt
That we will meet again


Until that day
I will grow with God
And wait for you

-Christy Kinnealey

 

My First Christmas in Heaven


I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year


I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here
I have no words to tell you the joy the voices bring
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.


I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year


I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you.


So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

And God Said..

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


I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."


I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."


I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."


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


I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, "I saw my son nailed to a cross."


I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."


I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."


I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, "I know."

From Nana


You came into our lives Adam
One damp September day
You only stayed a little while
And then you went away


I held you in my arms
So tiny and so sweet
It nearly broke my heart
To hear there was no heartbeat


You made such a big impression
Before you went away
That we will not forget you
Forever and a day
