He was our miracle baby and brought joy and happiness to all of those that crossed his path. His big blue eyes brighten up a room. He was loved and will be missed like no other.

Until we see you again...we love you more!

I am here in heaven,

God took me by the hand,

wrapped me in his love, gently

led me to his land.

I will always be your baby,

our hearts joined by love.

Perfect as an angel

I am watching as an angel

I am watching from above

I am a part of you,

though the brief time we shared,

take comfort, be healed.

I'm safe in loving care,

lift a smile to the skies, say a prayer for me,

let there be no sad goodbyes.

One day we will meet again.

A lifetime I will wait,

you will know the little angel with the

out-stretched arms at Heaven's gate.
