The death of a child

Sorry, I didn't get to stay
to laugh and run and play
to be there by your side
I'm sorry I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you
to make your loving heart anew
to help you look up and see
both God and little me.

Mommy, I wish I could stay
just like I heard you pray
but all the angels did cry
when they told me to say goodbye.

God didn't take me 'cause he's mad.
He didn't take me to make you sad
but to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious…don't you see?

Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play.
You'll come here too, mommy, someday.

Until the day you join me here
I'll love you mommy dear.
Each breeze you feel and see
brings a kiss and love from me.

Angel Friends

A beautiful little Angel showed up at Heaven's gates.
Confused and unknowing the plan that for him awaits.
Then another little angel walked up and took his hand
and said, "Please, don't be sad you left, you're in the Promised Land."
"I'm glad to be here but I do not think I was to go,
Perhaps there was a mistake, ´cuz my mommy wanted me so."

The little greeting angel gave a sweet smile and said
"My mommy wanted me too, but to Heaven I was led.
You see, we do not get to choose when on Earth it's time to go.
He gave us life, love and joy and a mother's womb to grow.
The Lord still needs new angels to guide them down on earth.
To watch over, comfort them, and help them see their worth."

"Is there still a way that I can sleep in my mommy's bed?"
The greeting angel grinned and said, "That luxury you'll keep.
I visit my mommy nightly and softly sing her to sleep."
The little angel replied, "Then, I think I'll like it here.
I'll visit my mommy nightly and weaken her pain and fears.
I love her and will keep her safe at night and in between,
And let her know with a sweet memory that she is still with me."

The greeting angel gave his new friend a big hug and said,
"Until our mommies meet us here, let's be best angel friends."
"Okay," said the new angel, "that sounds good to me."
Then the angels sat and played keeping their mommies in sight,
humming the tunes to the song they would sing to their mommies tonight.

Gå du före, vi kommer sen. 

Visa oss vägen, snart men inte än…

Ibland liksom hejdar sig tiden ett slag
Och någonting alldeles oväntat sker
Världen förändrar sig varje dag
men ibland blir den
aldrig densamma mer.

Tears in Heaven ( Eric Clapton )

Texten till Eric Claptons "Tears in Heaven", 

som han skrev när han förlorat sin fyraårige son

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven ......

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
I'll find my way, through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven .....

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging .... please ...

Beyond the door, there's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more tears in Heaven .......

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven .......
