Heavy on My Heart


Olivia (May 3, 1999 – October 3, 2009)

Your momma means so much to me; you her little spark of energy.
You shined each day in your own special way.
So full of confidence. It is no coincidence.
You are the daughter of the Rays.
You filled so many people’s days
Made your mark in such a way
The loss, when you left, our hearts did fray
I know your time was part of His plan
His timing is perfect—even if we don’t understand.

I praise His name for you; you among His chosen few.
I grieve our loss, but praise His gain,
And know your life was not in vain.

Emma (March 19, 2005 – March 27, 2012)

You loved all things sparkly and pink.
Your leaving really made me think
About your beautiful and spunky self
Even the meaning of life itself.
God had a very special plan for you.
You were among His chosen, select few.
You have touched numerous souls and your life filled so many holes.
In your short seven years of existence.

I praise His name for you; you among His chosen few.
I grieve our loss, but praise His gain,
And know your life was not in vain.

Abigail (March 19, 2012 – March 20, 2012)

Your time here was so brief
Your leaving filled us with grief
I will never forget your beautiful face,
Or the picture of you in your parents’ embrace.
My heart is aching and I know your mom’s and dad’s are breaking.
My only hope is in Him who heals
He knows too well how each of us feels
He has a purpose for us all and He will answer all of us who call
He knew the number of your days
He knew you wouldn’t stay
He had a special place for you
You were part of His chosen, elect few.

I praise His name for you; you among His chosen few.
I grieve our loss, but praise His gain,
And know your life was not in vain.
