much like
a fallen sparrow
with broken wing
No, she couldn't fly
her mission
not one
visable to our eyes
Why, we ask why
why is she gone?
Our hearts
cry
Her soul now free
her mission complete
she returns to her Father
silently in the night
No goodbye
no hugs
just memories of Lindsey
to hold
But look around
she is not gone
find her
in everything beautiful.

Though not for very long,
So precious and so beautiful,
So fragile, yet so strong
She graced us with her presence,
Our lives she gently touched,
Her brave determination,
Taught us all so much
Our hearts have all been broken,
But though we're miles apart,
A part of us goes with you,
You'll live on in our hearts
Through our tears we say goodbye,
Just by knowing you, we've been blessed,
Tonight Heaven has one more angel,
And the world has one less

a fragile gift to love and keep.
To deserve a gift as wonderful as you
I had to wonder ...what did I do.
I ask our Lord to answer please.
Why did you give this gift to me.
I am not special...was sort of wild
Yet you give me this very special child
I am not sure what He had in mind
but I know I will find out in time.
I do know...it was meant to be
that the Lord sent you down to me.
You are an Angel who touched my soul
and left fingerprints for me to hold.
Creating Love.. where love should be.
A Spirit...soft....strong...and free.
The time we had was much too brief
and even though I cry and grieve.
I know that you are in God's care
and someday I will see you there.
You were such a "Special Angel" dear
that the Lord could not bear to leave you here.
And that is why he called you Home
he missed you dear...just like your mom.
LINDSEY...my very special child
I will miss you for a long...long while
Someday...right now ..I do not know how,
But someday ...I will think of you and smile.
Thank you my Special Angel for this gift of LOVE.

Don't think of her as gone away
Her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets...
This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days or years.
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.

A meeting was held quite far from Earth
It's time again for another birth
Said the angel to the Lord above,
"This Special Child will need much love."
His progress may seem very slow,
Accomplishments he may not know,
And he will require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.
He may be slow to run or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways, he won't adapt,
And he will be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where he's sent.
We want his life to be content.
Please Lord, find the parents who
Will do a special job for You.
They will not realize right away,
The leading role they're asked to play.
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given
in caring for the Gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild, is
Heaven's Very Special Child
