Sending Presents To Heaven

By Donna Webster
It had been six months ago today that ten-year-old Emily’s mom had made her way to Heaven. Emily missed her mom each and every day, but what she was most worried about today is how she can find a way to send her birthday gift to her mom in Heaven. She had two [...]

Birthdays in Heaven

Are there birthdays in Heaven?
Does the angel blow his horn?
Announcing to everybody
That this is the day you were born?
Can the stars be your balloons
And angel food your cake?
Presents wrapped in moonbeams
All the angels helped to make.
Birthdays meant so much to you
They were always a big deal
Birthday presents, lots of friends
And perhaps a special meal.
So I’ll [...]

A Mother’s Day Wish From Heaven

Mother’s Day will be hard for me from now on. Whilst most mothers enjoy special time with their children – no matter what age they might be – I will always know that it was on Mother’s Day in 2006 that I last saw Barry’s smiling face. And…it was the last time I [...]

A Mother’s Day Gift From God

Lord today is Mother’s Day,
but my heart is split in two
Half of my heart is still here,
the other with my child that is there with you.
All the lovely presents are a nice surprise
But the only thing I want most is missing,
and tears fill my eyes.
I know when you sent him Lord,
You didn’t promise how long [...]

Dandelions From Heaven

Mothers Day is coming…and I wanted to send you a sign…
Something you can tell others…”Is from an angel of mine”.
So I searched the Heavens high and low for that perfect thing…
And low and behold I found it….and a smile I hope it will bring.
So when you look to the Heavens…and see the yellow stars in [...]

The Gift

The following verse gripped my heart and made tears sting my eyes. The gift of an understanding person is comforting, but the gift of another parent who knows exactly what I’ve been through is priceless.
Marcelle, I thought of you when I read this and I thought of your Daniel. I know [...]

The Eternal Flame

The candle’s flame is eternal,
you can see it transform the world above,
so this candle represents our family,
because we too share an undying love.
That love makes us who we are,
it makes our world our place to be,
and I can think of no better place,
than being surrounded by my family.
Just being together , makes it all [...]

Be Still

Be still, my heart, when jeans and sneakers pass by me;
Be still, my tears, which come so easily;
Be still, my longing to hear his voice and see his smile–oh, how I miss his smile.
Be still, the memories which race around in my brain and ease the pain
And be still, the pain which is ever there [...]

It Wasn’t My Intention

Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn’t my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn’t my intention to go without words said.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn’t my intention not to see [...]

Missing You

No words I write can ever say,
How much I miss you everyday.
As time goes by the loneliness grows,
How I miss you…nobody knows.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories,
And a photo in frame.
No one sees me weep.
But the love I have for you,
Is in my heart and [...]
