IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I could walk right up to Heaven
And be with you again.

No farewell words were spoken--
No time to say goodbye;
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart is sorely broken
And secret tears still flow;
What it meant to lose you,
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times
Life still has in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today--
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

GOD'S LENT CHILDEREN

"I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine," God said;
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead."

"It may be one or two years,
Or forty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back.
Take care of him for me?"

"He'll bring his charms to gladden you;
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As a solace for your grief."

"I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return;
But the lessons taught in earthly realm
I want this child to learn."

"I've looked the whole world over
In searth of teachers true;
And from the ones that crowd life's lane,
I have chosen you."

"Will you give him all your tender care,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to take
This lent child back again?"

And father then and mother said,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For joys Thy child will bring,
The risk of grief we'll run."

"We'll shelter him with tenderness;
We'll love him while we may;
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay."

"But should Thy angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the grief that comes to us
And try to understand."

.Sometimes we can't help
but ask the reason "why?"..
when a person we love
will just suddenly die!
Our heart is emptied
and replaced with pain.
There's such a heartache
that no words can explain!

For, one day he's here...
but the next day, he's gone!
You're surrounded by love,
Yet you feel lost and alone!
Everyone has felt the sting of death...
at some point in their life!
They know it cuts into your heart...
just like a two-edged knife!

But, there's one thing
that we must all understand...
Without "death," he can't walk
with God hand in hand!
And, if he could come back today
to this cruel worldly place,
He'd tell you how great Heaven is,
and he'd wipe the tears from your face!

He'd tell you that Heaven
is such a beauty to behold;
that the paths are lined with jewels...
that he walks on streets made of gold!
He'd tell you not to cry for him...
To stop the flow of your tears!
For he now walks with Angels,
And...he'll always be near!

WE LOVE YOU JASON AND MISS YOU.

There Were Many Moments With You ... (Just Not Enough Years) A child is a gift from the Heavenly Father that comes with many moments of love. But what you think you'll hold for a lifetime, may one day soar to the Heavens above. Oh, now, I think back at the moments; Precious moments I shared with you. I think of the times that I heard you laugh ... There's nothing to compare it to. I think of the times you sat with me; Sharing the dreams you treasure. And sharing the failures that you feared most ... Even these were moments of pleasure. Every moment I shared with you was a joy! So much more than you could know. Just to hear each time your heart would beat ... Meant one more beat to help you grow! Tonight, I sit and hold onto the photo albums, Holding onto every single minute. I look back and long for more time in life with you. For more life while you were in it. I see others around me and know that they understand exactly how I feel. For every moment I live without you is a moment too painfully real. So, I sit tonight longing to hold you; I just can't hold back my tears. There were many moments with you ... Oh ... Just not enough years.
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY. If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane, I could walk right up to Heaven And be with you again. No farewell words were spoken-- No time to say goodbye; You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. My heart is sorely broken And secret tears still flow; What it meant to lose you, No one can ever know. But now I know you want us To mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times Life still has in store. Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today-- A hallowed place within my heart Is where you'll always stay.			I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and I left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy-- A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss-- Ah, yes, these things I, too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full; I savored much-- Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me-- God wanted me now; He set me free.
WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU FOR AWHILE. When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I, in turn, will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky. A Treasured Gift One gift, above all others, God gives to us to treasure-- One that knows no time, no place; One that gold can't measure-- The precious, poignant, tender gift of Memory--for it keeps Our dear ones ever in our hearts, Though they have gone to sleep. It brings back long remembered things-- A song, a word, a smile-- And the world's a better place because We had them for a while!
