Hush, oh hush, close your eyes
and you'll hear heaven cheer.
What splendid sound as angels sing
because they have you near.
Our good bye to you is full of joy because,
you see, we know.
It’s Jesus’ arms that hold you close
never to let you go.
In safety and joy, peace and love
you will forever be.
Soaring with wings as eagles do,
your heart forever free

Born so beautiful and perfect
so small and sweet
you touched so many hearts already
even though your time on earth was short.
I know you will touch many more
today, I'm sure,
and in the days to come.
Sitting in God's lap right now
Surrounded by your angel kind
you get to live the dream -
to be with Him, you lucky one!

There must be a reason small babies have to depart
before what really seems to us, to be their time.
But we should never question, just try to understand;
how wonderful it is to be safe, in our Savior's hands.
God bless and peace be with you all.

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?
Imani says, "Remember all of the children"

MICHAELA
Think of Me each time you are
frustrated with each other,
think of Me
Each time you are
impatient or quick to anger,
think of Me
For the love and
compassion that brought
you here together today
is in each one of you.
And if you are ever
in doubt...
think of Me.

JEREMIAH
Did you come to play, or think or dream?
Become a fireman, or fish the stream?
Did you plan to love a beautiful girl,
or maybe ride the perfect curl?
Maybe you changed the life of your mom,
from chaos and fear to loving calm.
So her life one day will be full for a child,
and her thoughts of you will be loving and mild.
We'll never know how you changed the world,
With your short life and emotions that swirled.
We can only imagine the reason you came,
however brief and filled with pain.
So we say goodbye with love in our hearts,
as understanding comes in fits and starts.
With faith that God's works are pure and clean,
Did you come to play, or think, or dream?

A perfect child- who can find one?
Each one of us--since God has
created every special daughter
and son.
Joshua my child; you are one
Of these precious dears.
Unfortunately, your parents
weren't able to be
in attendance here.
Take heart that you will
never again be alone,
For our heavenly Father has
called you to the foot of
His throne.
Now in heaven you're to
forever abide,
Saints and angels will
always be by your side.
Prayers are with you on
this special day.
Many are rejoicing with you
because for all eternity you
are with God to stay.

SEBASTIAN
Here lays a baby,
left alone without a chance
He will never know what its
like to play or dance.
The deed has been done
Life’s over for this little one.
Unheard screams, unheard cries
tears will never roll
from this baby’s eyes.
From this world
the baby departs
only to take with him,
his broken heart.
The Mother abandoned,
and left him no name.
Don’t worry,precious one,
you hold no blame.
Sebastian is the name you will
take to the Heavens above
Where the LORD awaits you
with all his love.

The playground was empty with no one in sight,
The children were tucked in their beds that night,
A mother had deserted her baby
that sun shiny day,
She didn't want him; she just walked away.
A caring group took over and carried him with love,
They gave him a proper burial and
prayed to God above,
Songs were sung and a
minister spoke comforting words,
And then they released some "So Symbolic" birds.
The service was over and Michael was blessed,
We knew he had joined the others at rest.
He has many new friends who love him so much,
“We’ll miss you Michael, lets keep in touch.”
