Mommy I'm Here
Mommy I know this day wasn't what you had planned,
But I'm right here beside you, holding your hand.
My spirit has already gone, there's so much work to do,
But our Father let me come today so I could comfort you.
I know you and Daddy love me, and it's hard to see me go,
But that is why we're sent to earth, so we can learn and grow.
I wish I could stay with you here and play with my brother too,
But for now I'll have to wait until your missions are though.
I'll be near when you need me to wipe away your tears,
to hold you tight and kiss your cheeks and chase away your fears.
And on the day our Father calls you to come home
I'll be right there to get you, you'll never be alone.

The Sleepover
They've packed their bags and favorite toys -
A giggling group of girls and boys.
A trip to Grandma's, a night of treats;
A cousin fest, with little sleep.
They get to play and sleep all night.
Oh they'll behave, they seldom fight.
They've settled in, they're breathing deep;
A sigh, a moan, a little peep.
My house is full, my heart is not.
Inside I have an aching spot.
I miss your voice, your laugh of glee,
Your tiny arms encircling me.
The others here will never know
Why you were taken, we miss you so.
As night descends on sleeping faces
I scan the sky for Heavenly places.
A shining star beams through the night;
A flicker, a twinkle of far away light.
Tears form, but peace fills the air.
You haven't missed it. I know you are here.
Your bag too is packed, with Heavenly toys
Of love and comfort and radiant joy.
Your tiny presence, a watch you'll keep
Over your loved ones as each of them sleeps.
