SHAYLAH
Your barely existent, wispy hair
The ivory glow of skin so fair
Your ruby lips, so pouty—true
Beyond last breath, I still see you.
With kicking feet and girlish charm
Now smile and coo in your Father’s arms.
Oh, nestle snug in His hands, so mild
And when you tire, sleep sweet, dear child.

GLORYA
I didn’t live that long
but all my memories are good,
I had not fears because I knew
that when I died I would go
to the spirit in the sky.
I’m not lonely anymore and
I’ll watch over my guardians.
I’m thankful that my Mom had me
and, even though I didn’t meet her;
I know she will remember me.
I hope you think of me often.
like when you are lonely and afraid.
Think of me when you look up in the sky.
Think of me when you are looking for answers.

Song for Thomas
I come before You on this day confident that when I pray that You will hear the yearning from the depths of my soul. Lord, take this child into Your arms, show him, what true love is. Show him what he never had in this life
I trust You Lord, to provide all his needs and I trust that You know exactly what he needs, I love it that You care so much for him. I love You Lord, please love him Lord.
You know the reason why we're here our desire is very clear to send this child into Your arms with honor and with grace. We want the love we have for You to shine through us and back at him. We want Your love to fill his heart to the brim.
We trust You Lord to provide all his needs and we trust that You know exactly what he needs. We love it that You care so much for him. We love You Lord, please love him Lord.

PRECIOUS AGNES
For one brief instant you were here
to get a glimpse of earth
Oh, how the angels did rejoice
the moment of your birth
They sent you down to touch our hearts
but, you were just on loan
to teach us what God's heart is like
before they called you home
It's we who'll mourn your brevity
you passed through heaven's door
But, we'll rejoice because we know
that now your soul can soar
Little one we never met
you passed right through this realm
Rest now, you're back in Heaven's arms
with Jesus at the helm

EMMANUEL
I hear your giggle through the wind
I see your smile in the sun
Iam reminded of you whenever my
heart is touched with joy.
Even thought we have never met,
God has given you a place in my
heart ot be remembered.
I hear your pure voice in the rain
I see you in the breeze that causes
the grass to shiver
Your innocence and beauty
can be found throughout nature.
And a piece of you will be in my
cheerful moments and my memories.
I hear your breath through the trees
I see your angel wings
Your voice is heard.
Feel the love...

There were so many things left unsaid,
parents hugs and pats on the head,
the happiness and joy of watching you grow,
the grandchildren they will never know.
They will miss you.
You could not stay around to play,
never to enjoy in your shared birthday.
The void that was left in your twin's heart,
the pain of knowing you're forever apart.
He will miss you.
This world will never get the chance
to watch you shine, to watch you dance.
What an impact you could have made.
Instead in this grave you're being laid.
We will miss you.
Until that day when we are all re-united,
may you remain cradled in God's loving arms.

JULIE
To Julie in our garden,
Our tiny infant friend.
Or are you our niece, or our baby sister, or perhaps our universal daughter?
Julie, tiny baby, Julie,
here to rest today with dignity, accompanied by universal mommas and pappas, brothers and sisters, weeping with your quiescent passing -- white dove rising, flying today with
your infant spirit, white dove protecting us from perverse spirit coarsening look. See one love dove flying another strong circle - moon circle - one last time moon symbol, tiny one, taken too soon.
