DONALD
Thank you for the home you made me
Thank you for the love you gave me
I have a soft and lovely nest
A bed of soft linen and a toy just for me
I now can take my flight home
to my final rest
I see angles about me sending me love
faces of many colors and smiles above
I am surrounded by people that value me
I see new friends that will shoulder me
Friends I will make when my new journey ends
I thank you by saying "I will not be alone"
I will bring your goodness with me
I am safe and going home
I am in my home made of comforting warmth
Bathed in serenity straight from the heart
Warmth made out of love
from kind hands & kind souls
I feel comfy and well cared for
because you came to care
I bring thanks to you
for making my journey
safe and secure
my heart is warmed
my life will go on
I am happy now and never alone
You came to love me
So that I could be taken home
Thank you for helping my tiny soul
I see many friends that to held your hand
I welcome their new faces
on my journey to a new land
Filled with happiness and love
Thank you for caring
when I was alone,
you gave me love and kindness
and above all, you taught me
There is love in the world
for every soul

QUENBY
Your face is soft as a rose petal
and your hair as soft as silk.
Fingernails so tiny but,
no breath that smells of milk.
You should have received butterfly kisses-
eyelashes fluttering on your cheeks
You should have given butterfly kisses-
while giggling and smiling sweet.
Dear Quenby, your promise lies in heaven
Our place is here, to mourn.
Your death does not dampen our lovin’
We sing praises because you were born.
So give angels your butterfly kisses,
we give them up and humbly pray
that when we arrive in Heaven
your butterfly kisses will come our way.

CHARLES
Charles, love for you is a flower
that grows in the sun.
Charles, love is a rainbow
and a kiss in the sky when
sunshine and raindrops go by.
Charles, the gifts of love
we feel in our hearts
comes from inside us
where all love starts.

| CARMALITA
Absent are their voices,
their smiles, their presence,
Absent is her voice,
Did it sound like a song bird?
Sweet, clear and cheerful?
The littel baby giggle we will miss.
Only God knows.
Absent is her smile
making the day bright
Did she have dimples?
maybe a little crook at the
corner of her mouth?
Only God knows!
Absent is the present
of a toddler running
What stature would she
have had in this world?
Only God knows.
What we do know is that
little Carmalita is in heaven
with her maker, her Lord,
her God her savior.
Carmalita using her voice,
talking to God you see,
and she is smiling when
God cradles her in his loving arms.
Carmalita is there where we all want to be
and she is running through the fields of paradise.
Eternal peace and everlasting life was promised
and now Carmalita has her reward.
How happy she must be.

Born too soon to one too young
May you dwell in God.

BERNADINE
Heavenly eyes with a softened glow
Brightly glisten in hearts of pure gold
Beautiful melody of wonder, a life brings
Precious and miraculous to treasure and hold
Too soon taken from a world of mystery
For God's plan for angels is of a different kind
A new place of promise and light of love
Holds far greater things then possible in the mind
A gentle spirit lives on through different means
Soft cool breezes brush sorrowful lashes calmly
Drying tears shed for innocent little angels
Whose beauty is like dark nights when stars begin falling
Laid to rest with thoughts of peace and comfort
The Lord's arms protect and guide with truth and confidence
Sleep dear sweet angel, rest by His side
Let your soul soar high above the Garden of Innocence

KENNETH
If tears could build a stairway
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you -
no one will ever know!

Today your lonely days are done, Together we warm you like the summer sun. Our hands have brought you here today, Our hearts will send you on your way. Your sisters' and brothers' ashes nearby, Your spirits, with God, are free to fly. As we cover your ashes with this treasured loam, Nicole, little angel, you are going home.

Angels Wings
Soft and precious
fall softly on your face
wipe away your tears
surrounded by His grace
Angels come to you now
to kiss away your pain
softly touching your face
like warm sunshine
Summer day forever
Angel kisses.... Angel kisses
Giving you brand new daydreams.

IMANI
Tears streaming, her heart is broken
Because her life has hurt, so am I
she wears a frown, her dreams have been chokin
And if she stands alone, her dreams will die
So, humbly I come to you and say
As I sound aloud the warfare of today
Hear me, I pray
Imani says
Remember all of the children
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children,
life gone the wrong way
Don't forget about all of the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us
and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
Sir, where is your son
Where lies his refuge
And if he can't come to you,
then where can he run
Such a foolish girl, yet still,
she's your daughter
And if you will just reminisce
your days of young
You see, it's not where you've been,
nor what you've done
Because I know a friend
who specializes in great outcomes
See His love overcomes
Imani says
Remember all of the children
To ignore them is so easy
So many innocent children,
lives gone the wrong way
Don't forget about all of the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us
and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
Where would we be today
Where would we be today
Imani says
To Remember all of the children

JOY
Little Joy, our shining light
On a star so big and bright.
Little was your earthly stay.
How sad we are you went away.
Are you wandering by a lake
or a pond, asleep or awake?
Or sitting on a granite stone
enjoying your loving and peaceful home.
See the blossoms green and red
Sunshine spilled on flowerbeds.
Our loving Father close to you
and Mary our Mother is close too.
The radiant sun is endlessly shining.
The sky is a beautiful baby blue
and now we say goodbye to you.
We will always be here,
what ever you do.
