Never AloneI am never alone
I have you near
I am never alone
I have nothing to fear
I am never alone you hold my hand
I am never alone
you help me stand
I cry oceans of tears
you dry each and every one
you are my miracle
you are my son
I am never alone
I've reached out my hand
We together are strong
together we stand.

In The Light
A shadow of joy flickered; it is me. I told you I wouldn't leave. My spirit is with you. My memories, my thoughts
are imbedded deep in your heart. I still love you. Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned. I am in the Light.
In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard -- these are the places I stay with you. My spirit rises every time you
pray for me, but my energy comes closer to you. Love does not diminish, it grows stronger. I am the feather that
finds you in the yard, the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind, I place our memories for you to see. We lived in our special way, a way that now has its focus changed. I still
crave your understanding and long for the many words of prayer and good fortune for my soul. I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently. Sometimes I summon up all the strength of my new world to make you notice me. Impressed by your grief, I try to impress my love
deeper into your consciousness. As you should, I call out to the Heavens for help. You should know that the fountain of youth does exist. My soul is now healthy. Your love sends me new found energy. I am adjusting to this new world. I am with you and I am in the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me. I am with you wherever you go. I protect you, just as you protected me so many times. Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you. Mother, father, son or daughter it makes no difference. Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no
difference. Whatever our connection-friend or even foe-I see you with my new eyes. I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed. This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me. I will come. Our love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth. Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had when we were
together in the physical sense. You owe this to me, but more importantly, you owe it to yourself. Life continues for both of us. I am with you because I love you and I am in the Light.

For my friend Jennie:
Who has lost her little angel boy to god and heaven above. This poem was a graduation present. I hope with all of my heart that you like it and know how truely sorry I am for you and how much I love you.
She walks across the stage
and as she reaches for the paper
that everyone worked so hard for the 12 years that it took
She thinks about the friends that she
wishes could be here to see her
and a single tear drop falls
for her little angel boy
She knows he's in heaven
Where he can look down and see how much she loves him
She takes it with a smile
and wishes her little angel boy could be here
If she could know
that as her little angel boy watches her from heaven
He is as proud as any one can be.
ŠAnnie Sanbourn for Jennie Davis
Remembering
Go ahead and mention my child
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further
The depth of my pain doesn't show
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent
Pretending he didn't exist
I'd rather you mention my child
Knowing that he has been missed
You asked me how I was doing
I say "pretty good" or "fine"
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.
by Elizabeth Dent
A Baby's Secret
I'm just a little baby who didn't quite make it there,
I went straight to be with Jesus but I'm waiting for you here
Thank you for the life you gave me,it was brief but don't complain;
I have all of Heaven's glory, suffered none of earthlings pain.
Thank you for the name you gave me, I'd have loved to brought it fame;
but if I'd lingered in earths shadows might instead have brought it shame.
Don't fret about me Mommy and Daddy, I'm of all God's lambs most blest;
I'd have loved to stay there with you; but the Shepherd knows what's best.
Many dwelling here where I live, waited years to enter in;
Struggled through a world of sorrow and their lives were marred with sin.
So Mommy and Daddy don't you sorrow, wipe those tears and chase the gloom,
I went straight to Jesus' bosom, from my mother's womb.

hospital room)

Missing youThe tears turn into rainstorms
the storms fade into showers
the seconds become minutes
the minutes now are hours
the hurt melts into numbness
the numbness back to pain
and the tears that have come and gone
begin to fall again
and the night becomes so silent
the silence unbearably loud
and the stars that once had shone so bright
are misted now with cloud
and the time it goes so slowly
now the hours linger on
and it seems like all eternity
has passed since you have gone

how very softly you tiptoes into our lives
almost silently
only a moment you stayed
but what an imprint your footsteps have left upon our hearts
my butterfly angel
flies high against the sky
as farther he goes
more tears do I cry
he was my firstborn
never to be
never to cry
yet a part of me
alone I am hollow
he doesn't live here anymore
he's gone to a new place
beyound that golden door
-Jennie Davis
so many questions
and cried, but unanswered tears
a loss is forever
it lasts through the years
I was a mother
and now I am none
he was my child
my firsborn son
so where do I go from here
this isn't what I thought it would be
how do you go on and face yourself and see
you are still
alone
-Jennie Davis
Still Here
Though you can't see me anymore
I am still here
My laughter floats on the breeze
A sound I know you hold dear
I left so soon after my life began
I still wonder why
I didn't want to leave
I didn't want to die
Please remember me
don't let me disappear
hold me close
I am still here
-Jennie Davis
