The Shopping Trip
By Linda Vicory
As I peruse the aisles
Of the local store
I see things more differently
Than I ever have before
 
"Mummy's little angel"
The embroidered bibs do read
But mummy's angel is in heaven
And bibs he does not need
 
He does not need a bottle
A jumper or a toy
Of buying those things for him
We shall never know the joy
 
There are tiny jars of baby food
That he will never eat
And shiny shoes with buckles
That will never touch his feet
 
As the bikes and trikes, they taunt me
From high up on the rack
Tears will break from my eyes
If ever I look back
 
I run off to the bathroom
To blow my nose and cry
I wipe my eyes, swallow hard,
And then let out a sigh
 
I must go face the paper
Erasers and wide rule
That he, my little angel
Will never use in school
 
I hurry past the greetings cards
That people choose with care
And then I am reminded
Of holidays, we shall not share
 
In the checkout line I bow my head
And heavy is my heart
For the family right in front of me
Has a newborn in their cart
 
Shopping from the local store
Used to be mundane
Now every aisle is full of items
That remind me of my pain
 
So, quick as I can, I give the cashier
The money from my purse
And hurry from those who don't know my pain
In this foreignly happy universe.

Mothers Day
 
A kiss to you on mothers day
A hug from me to you
I know that you are sad sometimes
I know that you are blue
 
Please wipe away that tear
Put on a happy face
For I'm with God in heaven now
Oh mummy, what a wonderful place!
 
God gave me wings so I could fly
They are white with a hint of blue
I'm a big boy mummy, with these wings of mine
They carry me down to visit you
 
God is teaching me how to catch your prayers
Prayers that come as wishes
Your wish is the same everyday
A wish that I could have stayed
 
I have a prayer for you now mummy
I pray that you will hear
God needed me here with Him
I have no pain or fear
 
For I am an angel now you see
I watch over you each night and day
A little piece of heaven on earth
Guiding you on your way
 
I come to tuck you in each night
As you wanted to do with me
I hear your prayers and kiss your cheek
Then I watch you dream
 
Before I leave you and go back home
I look at you and sigh
And as I fly back to heaven
I sing you a lull-a-bye
 
A kiss to you on mothers day
A hug from me to you
I love you mummy, please don't cry
You'll get to hold me soon.

No one sees the broken heart
That lies beneath my smile
No one sees the loneliness
That's with me all the while
Silent tears gently fall
That others do not see
For my precious Bailey
Who meant the world to me
Love mummy

An angel with the book of life
Wrote down my sons birth
And whispered as he closed the book
Much too beautiful for earth

Once I held an angel,
so very close to me
I watched him run and jump and dance
But only in my memory
 
I waited for the day he'd come
He'd bring such joy to all
Then the angel was called home,
He never had to fall
 
He was too perfect for this world
He didn't need to stay
He went straight up to heaven
And I'll join him there someday

A million times I've needed you
A million times I've cried
If love alone could have saved you
You would have never died
 
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a special place
That none will ever fill
 
It broke my heart to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of me went with you
The day called you home.

On the day of Bailey's funeral we played a song going in and a song going out. We picked these songs because of the words and they've since become 'Bailey's songs'

You'll Be In My Heart

Come stop your crying it will be alright

Just take my hand, hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be here don't you cry

 

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can't be broken

I will be here don't you cry

 

Cuz you'll be in my heart

Yes you' ll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forevermore.

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be in my heart

Always

 

Don't listen to them, cause what do they know

We need each other to have, to hold

They'll see in time I know

When desting calls you, you must be strong

I may not be with you but you gotta hold on

They'll see in time, I know

We'll show them together cuz...

 

You'll be in my heart

I believe you'll be in my heart

I'll be there from this day on

Now and forevermore

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be in my heart always

Always...

 

I'll be there with you

I'll be there with you always

Always and always

Just look over your shoulder

Just look over your shoulder

Just look over your shoulder

I'll be there always

A Whole New World
 
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
 
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
 
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
 
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
 
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
 
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath- it gets better
 
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
 
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
 
Every moment red- letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
 
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wonderful place
For you and me
