Her legacy
Sweet Little Angel  

Sometimes When Your All Alone
In The Stillness Of The Night
When Everything Comes Tumbling Down
And Nothings Going Right
Close Your Eye's
Spread Your Wings
And You Will Surely Fly
For To Me You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til The Day I Die

You Want To Wish It All Away
You Wish With All Your Might
All Your Dreams Have Disappeared
You've Lost Your Will To Fight
Close Your Eye's
Spread Your Wings
And You Will Surely Fly
For To Me You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til The Day I Die
When Your Falling, Falling, Falling
And You Feel The Test Of Time
Think Of Me And I'll Be There
In Your Heart And In Your Mind
Close Your Eye's
Spread Your Wings
And You Will Surely Fly
For To Me You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til The Day I Die
When Your World Is Subtle Gray
And You're Feeling Deep Despair
Spread Your Wings And Fly Away
And I'll Be Waiting There
Just Close Your Eye's
And Spread Your Wings
You Will Surely Fly
For To Me You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til The Day I Die

Angel in disguise  

Angel in Disguise

 On the day that you were born,
My heart swelled with such pride.
How could I have known our time together would be so short?
I watched you grow and learn more each day,
I was in awe of you.
It never ceased to amaze me, the effect you had on others.
Falling in love with you was the norm for everyone.
Each new day, was a new adventure that we went on together.
Now all I have is memories, I hold them all so dear.
So small and so perfect, you taught me so much.
My heart just doesn’t understand…
How can our time be over, how do I wait to see you again?
My beautiful little Sarah-bear,
My arms long to hold you just once more.
My eyes long to see your smile and shining eyes.
My ears strain to hear your laughter;
To hear your angelic voice singing a song.
Oh, to hear you say “Mommy, I love you”!
Such joy that would bring to my heart.
My neck wants to feel your arms around it again.
I want to kiss your eyes as you sleep
And stroke your silky hair.
I miss everything about you, how do I fill this void?
It can’t be filled by anything; you’re the only one who can fit.
You were so tiny, so young and yet so very wise.
I know you’re helping God now,
I am so very proud of you.
I thank God everyday for letting me be your mommy.
You lived so much in your abbreviated life,
I admire you for that.
I always knew you’d be someone great…
But how could I have known,
You were an angel in disguise?
Never forget that I LOVE YOU and that I think of you
EVERYDAY!
It’s your face I see when I close my eyes
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
One day, I will see you again
And I hope you’ll be waiting with “Big hugs”
And “peace-an-gum”, as you sing to me
“Say to the lord I love you”!
I’ll be listening…
 Always and forever, Your adoring Mommy!!!

Poem for Sarah  
I sit and pray for you every night
Knowing your hugging mommy and daddy oh, so tight

Sisters, Brothers, Grandparents too,
Family that will never forget about you

They think about you night and day
Memories that will never ever stray

Such a young age to leave the world
But paving the way up to the Lord

Sarah Bear your love comes shining through
No one will ever forget about you

By :Trisha Dick (Barbie's friend)

Dearest Child  
I know you are confused and hurt by what has happened.
I know you cannot see why a little one has left you.
As much as you loved her, love her more!
As hard as it is right now you must trust in me.
I have not left you nor am I punishing you.
You are precious to me.
I love you today as much as I did on the day I gave you life.

You want to know why I have taken this young life from you.
Especially now you must try to have faith that I am in control.
Know that Sarah is with me, this is where she belongs.
She is in perfect health and plays with angels all day.
There are none so special as these innocent ones.
You will meet again, she is waiting for you, here by my side.

I love you, do not doubt my wisdom on all things.
Each morning when you look at the sky, I am there.
If the sky is cloudy, I am giving rest;
if the sky is sunny, I am giving warmth.
The rain renews, and the fluffy clouds entertain and amuse you.
Did you hear a child laugh or cry, this was not to hurt you,
but to remind you that Sarah laughs but no longer cries.
The perfection of my Heaven surrounds her.

The smile you receive on the face of a stranger
is a message of love from me.
As the days pass your grief will lessen, you will heal.
Take time now to strengthen yourself and those around you,
lean on each other. I am with you.
I know your heart is breaking, try to accept instead of question.
Remember the joy your child brought to you and everyone,
I bask in that joy every day.

As you reflect, count your many blessings both great and small.
I want you to go on and be happy again.
Do not keep yourself from laughing or enjoying life.
You are special to me, you have a purpose to fulfill.
Not the one you may have planned,
but what I have planned for you.

Never doubt things are as they should be.
Make your choices ones she would be proud of.
Look for me in everything, I am with you now and always!

I love you, I love you, I love you!     Your Father,in Heaven.

Catch My Giggle  
I'm at your memorial service today, Sarah Faith
Way in the back row
Do you see me?
I'm listening as everyone sends their love
Listening to their songs and prayers
I'm looking at your photograph
I can see in your eyes you're bright and quick
And it looks as if you're about to giggle

As I join in prayer with your family and friends
I feel a light breeze pass by my cheek
Is that you, Sarah?
Yes, I think I see you now
Looking over us

They are reading letters to you from mom and dad,
Brothers and sister, from Papa Ron and Mema, too
The letters help me to know you
I feel your energy and joy
A big grin and a giggle as you run by
I realize from the letters how lucky you are, to have such a loving family
I'm proud of them today, Sarah
They gave you such a special place to live!

I can hear you, Sarah
Singing along "Jesus loves me this I know"
Hi, Sarah!
There you are!
I can see you leaning against Papa Ron's chair
Asking him to catch your giggle as you visit him there

You skipped heartache and sorrow leaving this way
Nothing but blue skies after today
I know where that giggle came from, Sarah
A family united,
Each one
A family sharing their love and devotion to you.

I will always think of you when I sing, "Jesus Loves Me"
There you are! I see you Sarah
I hear you
Yes, Jesus loves you
I'm sad, but part of me is happy
Because today, Sarah Faith, I caught your giggle, too!

By: Kay Corcoran George

Our Sarah Faith  
A sweetie with blonde pigtails,
Communicated very well.
With outstretched hand said, "piece an gum?"
To let you know she wanted some!
Or simply, "Kiss," sometimes "Big hug!"
On your heart strings this girl would tug.
Or "I don't know, " "Gosh." she would say,
Expressing her complete dismay!
She'd hug and pat if you should cry,
"Oh honey," with a precious sigh.
With fuzzy bunny, day and night,
She'd hardly let it out of sight.
She kept so busy all day through,
Because she had so much to do.
So much to see, investigate,
So Int'rested, could hardly wait.
No grass beneath her feet could grow,
So very curious, you know.
With happy voice you'd hear her sing,
To ev'ry one, a smile she'd bring.
She hurried so to learn it all,
Though she was still so very small.
With smile or frown or funny face,
She would define what was her space!
To Sarah we must say, "Goodbye,"
Don't understand and don't know why.
Where she is now, no tears can flow,
She's happy singing there, we know.
A blessing up have been to all,
Though only two, left mem'ries tall!
Sweet "Sarah Bear" we love you so,
How much? Our Lord can only know.

Sweet Sarah-Bear  

Where did you go our Sarah-Bear?

I heard you went to live up there.

With Jesus, way, way on high,

Are you watching from the sky?

Do you see me, do you hear?

I call your name among my tears.

But, then I think of all you have

And, I know I must for you feel glad.

One day I’m going to come you’ll see,

I’ll spread my arms to welcome thee,

Sweet Sarah-Bear, child so dear,

I wish you hadn’t left us here.

But, that is selfish, yes, I know,

Your face must just be all a glow,

With joy and love and peace complete,

Happiness no words can speak.

So, could you ask our Lord up there

To grant some comfort for us here,

His strength we need so we can wait,

To see you again at God’s Heavenly gate.

Where did you go our Sarah-Bear?

Gone to see Jesus, that is where.

Gone to Heaven to sing and play,

Till we join you forever one glorious day.

By: Mema Katherine


Remember Sarah-bear

Let your spirit so strong

And your favorite song
Live in our hearts until when
We sing it together again.

 

We miss you so much,

It doesn’t seem fair

Nearly too much
For us to bear.

 

Life is so lonely,

Without you now.
Do life without you?
We just don’t know how.

Somehow we'll go on,

In our hearts you'll live long.

And, each day we’ll remember

Our Sweet Sarah-Bear.
