"The Christmas Angels"
If you see some different lights
Around your Christmas tree
It could be Christmas Angels
Hiding there to see.
The fun and joy of Christmas
As they watch the children play.
And as they watch you celebrate
This very special day.
But there`s another reason that
The Christmas angels appear,
They`re here to remind us why
It`s a special time of year.
This is the day that Christ was born
Years ago in Bethlehem
He`s the one who is our Savior
He is King of all the land.
So celebrate His birthday
With your presents, cheer and love
And let Him know you`re glad He is
Our Savior up above.
Then the Christmas Angels
Will be happy they were here
And they can leave, but don`t you fret
They`ll be back again next year.

I bought you an angel for your Christmas gift.
She stands by your picture and the candle that`s lit.
I bought you a wreath for your Christmas gift.
It lies by your cross and I wish that you`d lived.
I remember the gifts of Christmas`s past.
The toys, the clothes - some meant to last.
"An exhaust for my bike!" I hear you say.
How do you wrap that for Christmas day?
But now you`re gone and there is no joy,
And I`d give the world, my darling boy
To see your smiling face once more.
To hear you come through the door,
Full of laughter - full of fun.
How I miss my precious son.
I bought you an angel for your Christmas gift.
She stands by your picture and the candle that`s lit.
I bought you a wreath for your Christmas gift.
It lies by your cross and I wish that you`d lived.
Merry Christmas darling.




What kind of place would heaven be
With all its streets of gold,
If all the souls, that dwell up there
Like yours and mine, were old?
How strange would heaven`s music sound
When harps begin to ring.
If children were not gathered `round
To help the angels sing.
The children that God sends to us
Are only just a loan,
He knows we need their sunshine
To make the house a home.
We need the inspiration of
A baby`s blessed smile.
He doesn`t say they`ve come to stay
Just lends them for a while.
Sometimes it takes them years to do
The work for which they come,
Sometimes in just a month or two
Our Father calls them home.
I like to think some souls up there
Bear not one sinful scar.
I love to think of heaven as
A place where children are.

Sweet child whom we never really got to know,
It’s hard for us to let you go.
We waited and we wanted you.
We had so many dreams for you.
We think of smiles we`ll never see.
We think of events that will never be.
There will be no first steps and no first teeth.
There is only a void and our own grief.
We planned to take you to places far and near.
We yearned to keep you safe and free from fear.
We hoped to show you much of your new world.
We wanted to teach you as your life unfurled.
It’s hard to understand why you, our baby, died.
We feel so numb right now, many tears we’ve cried.
We have so many questions and no answers seem to come.
We tried so hard to save you; nothing could be done.
God, we stand before you broken-hearted
and ask you to heal these lives that must be parted
from this little one we can no longer hold,
who will always be a part of us, even when we`re old.
God, take this child in your loving arms.
No more can he suffer any harm.
Bless him always and bless us too.
Be with us and help us to make it through
Merry Christmas Shaun

Of My baby
