Serenity Summers

What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Beautiful Little Girl

Hello,

I read the memorial of Serenity Summers and I'm sorry for your loss if she was yours.Well,my stepdaughter Lynn Taylor Pattern passed of drowning as well at age 18 yrs old well since her father said that she was interferring with our relationship,me and her father have been married since Lynn was just 10 yrs old.And I didnt imagine the death to come so early.

Just like Serenity Summers,you didnt know her death was to come so early,I'll really feel for you and your daughter if she is yours.

That is such a young age?
How did she drown?

Can you send me a message with information about how she drowned?

I'm just curious about how she drowned

Precious Child

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And I know there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

To My Family

To my dearest family, some things I would like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this letter from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said, " I welcome you, It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I need you here badly, your part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, If I were to tell you, you would not understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I am closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, But together we can do it by taking one step at a time. It was always my philosophy and I would like it for you too, That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, Then you can say to God at night, " My day was not in vain." And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember you're not going you're coming here to me.

BABY ANGEL
.•** •. .•** .
Sleep baby angel
Rest your tired eyes
& let me tell you a story
Or sing a lullaby
.•** •..•** •. .
See you were too precious
For this world to keep
So now I leave you
In eternal sleep
.•** •. .•** •.
What do you dream of
I wish I could know,
How I long to see you
And watch you grow,
.•** •. .•** •.
Your my baby angel
You will never grow old
But what I would give for
One last hold xxx

Hard to believe that today you have been gone for 7 months. The pain of losing you is still there princess. I think about you everyday, I still cry as much as the night your passed away. i find my self doign what if i did this different, what if you didnt take a bath that night, what if the cop did cpr would you still be here, not that the what ifs will do any good but i cant help it. I miss you so much princess. Mommy will never be the same with out you here in my arms. I love you my little pumpkin head.

The day your angel wings took flight,
a beautiful new star lit up the night,
our tragic loss is heavens gain,
our hearts feel heavy with this pain.
With the angels you will soar,
in our hearts for ever more,
sleep tight angel baby, please stay close by,
and watch over us from your cloud up high.
Tiny angel, so perfect in every way,
we think of you with so much love,
each and every day.

God’s Lent Child
“I’ll lend you for a little while
A child of mine” God said –
For you to love the while she lives
and mourn for when she’s dead.
It may be one or seven years
Or twenty two or three
But will you, till I call her back,
take care of her for me?

She’ll bring her charms to gladden you
and, should her stay be brief,
you’ll have her nicest memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return
but, there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over,
in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crowd life’s lane
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I come to take
this lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done”
for all the joys thy child will bring
the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter her with tenderness,
we’ll love her while we may,
and for the happiness we’ve known
forever grateful stay.
But, should thy Angels call for her
much sooner than we planned,
we’ll brave the grief that comes
and try to understand….
