AND SLOWLY I MOVE FORWARD

THE POEM

LITTLE ANGELS When God calls little Angels to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love, For no heartache compares with the death of one small child, Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold. So he picks a rose bud, before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few, To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try. The saddest word mankind knows, will always be "goodbye". So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize, God loves children & ANGELS are hard to find.

THE MEANING TO ME

This poem has meaning for me as a few years ago I lost my oldest son and my little brother in an accident. So I believe this to be true. I have learned to move slowly forward, taking each day as it comes. Knowing that one day I will again see my son and brother. And that God watches over my little angel.

I think that my little angel also watches over someone elses little angel, after all why else would God need a little angel!

Along the way I learned that there is no time like the present to tell someone that you love them!!! Tomorrow may never come!! And then you will only have yourself to blame for all the yesterdays. I learned that today is the day to say son your the best, I believe in you! And that there maybe a good reason for him to be late. I also learned that there is no time like the present to give him the one last hug that he doesn't want, cause his friends are outside watching!

As I move slowly forward I mis-step along the way, sometimes not telling someone that they mean alot to me. I sometimes forget to give that person a compliment; even though I know that it will make his or her day. I had forgotten that a smile can make someone smile in return. I have moved slowly forward again, remembering that there is laughter in the world, that I too should laugh more often and I do now! I know what it is like to lose a child, I know what its like to ache to hold him, and I also know that I must move slowly forward. One step at a time, putting one foot in front of the other. I now take each minute, hour, day, week, month, year, only one step at a time.

Here for you that haven't lost someone are a few tender rules: Don't tell the person they will get over it, for they never will, that is something we must learn to live with. If they want to talk about it, Listen, listen closely and you will hear the pain, the anguish, the hurt, and you will help them to start to heal. Here I would like to mention a wonderful friend I have that from the day I lost my son has never NOT had time to listen to me, she is always available to cry on. She listens with her whole being not just her ears. You can look in her eyes and see she cares. Thank you, Nancy for being their for me when I needed you the most.

Please don't tell the person that life goes on, WE know it does, and sometimes we don't want to remember, sometimes we don't want it to, sometimes we don't care. And please don't keep telling us how much we have changed WE also know that, but look at it this way, WOULDN'T you have changed, too!!! You see when your child dies, its something no parent ever expects to happen. Your child is supposed to live past you. So when it does happen then its like a big hole left in the middle of your heart. Please don't take offense at this, I just want you to know that to lose someone you love is one of the worse things that can happen to you, whether child, spouse, girl or boyfriend, parent, aunt, or uncle, respect those who have gone thru it. Respect their time to grieve, we will recover, but we will NEVER forget.
