Someone, Somewhere
Life has been such a struggle for me.
Nothing is going right.
I am so weak, lost, and afraid.
My
days are dark as night.
I cry out to God, but just can't find the words.
This
pain just won't go away.
Then, hope fills my soul and I start to believe
That things will get better, today.
I
know that someone is praying for me.
I can feel it in my heart.
Tears filled my eyes and I almost gave up.
My heart
felt so ripped apart.
But someone, somewhere, said a prayer for me.
God
knew just what to do.
For He knew my struggles and sent me someone
To pray, to get me through.
I know that someone
is praying for me
'Cause I couldn't do it myself.
Then, in an instant, I felt so free.
He took care of me, by Himself.
He asked someone loving to answer His call,
Someone
who really does care,
To lift me up to our heavenly Lord;
A dear friend out there, somewhere.
Life is still a
struggle for me.
But, I get on my knees and pray.
Although, I am weak, I'm much stronger now.
There's sunshine back
in my day.
It makes all the difference, knowing someone,
Really
cares about me.
For, God sent me someone, somewhere out there,
To pray on behalf of me.
If the Lord leads you
to pray for someone,
A friend or someone unknown,
Don't look away, for God needs your help
And to you He has shown.
Your love and kindness could change someone's
life,
Although they may not know you.
The life that you helped could have been mine
And, to you, I say, "THANK-YOU!"
I
know what it's like to have someone, somewhere,
Ask the Lord to guide me.
I felt so alone. But, that prayer changed
my life
And set my heart so free.
I'll keep my heart open and listen for God.
Then,
I'll pray, to Him, for you.
For, I want to be that someone, somewhere,
Who God can use for you.

- I'll Be There
Daddy please don't look so sad, mama please don't cry
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies
Please, try not to question God, Don't think he is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows.
That's me I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me I'll be there giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad, mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.

My Precious Child
Written by: Cindy McDermott
Pain and pride now fill my heart,
For I loved you from the very start.
Your every little move and kick
Even when you made me sick.
The limited time you were here with us,
We may not know why, but in God we trust.
We now have an angel today,
That’s not something everyone can say.
Your precious face, I will never forget
I will always remember when we met.
So peaceful, you look lying here in my arms
Free from all the earthly harms.
How I wish we would never have to part,
But now you reside within my heart.
I will love you until eternity ends,
For I am thankful for the Lord’s Heavenly sends.
Your time may have ended here on Earth,
But your were my child, even before your birth.
You are my child, even though my heart is torn;
For you were within me and you were still born.
Send me your Heavenly kisses before you go to bed
When I receive those, sweet dreams will fill my head.
I love you so much, now and forever,
My love for you will go away never.
I had been having a really tough week. I was missing Blake so badly, and knowing that he had been gone for 6 months
already was making me miss him even more. I kept praying for a sign...a sign so I knew Blake was alright and still remembered
me. Well, after taking my daughters to the petting zoo, I got in my van to find a beautiful little butterfly.
It was white and black with beautiful wings of lace. I have no idea how it got in there, but my oldest daughter, Alyssa
(6 1/2 years old at the time) said, "Mommy, it's the sign of an angel...It's Blake!!!" I went over to my parent's house
where my sister was visiting and told her I saw a butterfly in my van and how Alyssa said it was Blake. She said she
has also seen a tiny butterfly, like the one I saw, flying around the outside of her home. I decided to write a poem
about it.
Tiny Butterfly
Written by: Cindy McDermott

Some
days are
good, Yet
others
are so hard.
I sit in my own little
world,
And just let my tears roll down my face.
I look up to the Heavens, and pray to
our Lord,
“Help
me, please ease my pain.” I ask
for a sign, any sign
will do. Just
so I know little Blake is alright. Through my tears
I shed I search for that
sign wondering if God has heard my
simple request. I gather
my girls, and get in the car.
There was
my sign; right in front of me. A tiny
butterfly, White and black with
wings
of lace, Just sitting there
on the window. I look up again,
and say,
“Thank
you, good Lord for the message
you’ve
sent.” Now, with peace in my heart, I can rest
assure, that
my angel is safe. With excitement
and peace,
I had to tell
his Mommy. “Blake is a beautiful
butterfly,
So delicate and tiny.”
She smiles at me and says,
“He visits me
often, outside at our home.”
This brought
me much comfort,
And now
I can see,
It’s
our
little angel
saying hello
to me.”
My Sweet Angel

My sweet angel,
Rest your wings.
You are with God now,
Learning many new things.
If you could take one moment
And just lye here with me.
I have so many things to say
So many things I want you to see.
My sweet angel,
Why have you flown away?
I love you so much
More with each passing day.
Is it that I didn’t love you enough?
Or is it that God changed his mind?
I walk through the darkness
Hoping that the answer I will find.
I hear a soft angelic voice from above.
It whispers, “Please don’t cry…
I can feel your love.
Yet I know you still ask, ‘why?’”
I said, “You are supposed to be here.
Lying in my arms
But instead you are there
Away from Earthly harms.”
The voice whispered again,
“I know this is hard on you.
I will always be within your heart.
Forever in love, forever so true."
Our Precious Angel Boy
Written by: Cindy McDermott
Our lives were turned upside down,
On the day you left for Heaven.
The room so quiet, not a sound.
We could only heard our tears
The rest was a deafening silence.
Our melancholy souls and our new found fears.
How are we expected to go on
Without our precious boy?
Is this just a dream that will end at dawn?
Questions fill our head
As we desperately search for answers;
Why isn’t our baby asleep in his bed?
The search seems to be never-ending,
Yet the answer is in our hearts.
God loves us, and an angel He is sending.
Our arms ache to hold you once more.
Yet until we get to Heaven
We will bear this open sore.
Mommy sends her love, and Daddy holds you near
For we are so proud of our angel boy
Even though you’re not here.
The pain will always be there
For we love you so very much.
Even though at times, it doesn’t seem fair.
God whispers in my ear
“You are wonderful parents.
That’s why I placed my angel here.
The love you have given to this precious boy
Will help him while he is in Heaven
As he watches over the world and spreads his joy.”
To Hold You Again
Written by: Aunt Cindy
8/4/2005
To see your precious face again,
Is like a dream come true.
To
hold you in our arms again
Makes us feel so new.
The last time you were in our arms
Will soon be six months ago.
Then
I met this beautiful angel;
Upon her face was an angelic glow.
In the light of Heavens angels,
She began to recreated
your beauty.
She felt your presence so very strong
And when she was finished, what a cutie!
This angel of Earth
helped heal our hearts
When Blake began to whisper in her ear.
"My family misses me oh so much,
Can you help me show
them I am still here?"
I wrote this the day I got "The Blakes"
Healing Babies in the mail from my good friend Amanda!
Why Did He Leave?
written by: Cindy McDermott
In Memory of Tyler Wade Head
Sometimes it may feel like the pain will never lessen.
It may even feel as if the world has turned its back on you;
But life is full of experiences that we may never get answers to.
That does not mean you are alone as you travel this journey.
Your precious angel will be with you forever;
For he now resides within your heart.
God placed him there when he earned his angel wings
For he knew you loved him so very much.
Life is full of lessons we must learn while we are here on Earth.
We must learn of life, love and fear before
Our entrance through the Heavenly Gates.
You were such a good mother during his time here
That he learned all of the lessons of the world
In such a short and precious time.
How proud our Lord is of you,
For being the mother he wishes us all to be.
He blessed you with an angel...
That's not something everyone can say.
Your angel now prepares Heaven
For his mother's grand entrance;
For he is so proud to call you his Mommy,
And he wants to show you to his Heavenly friends.
So now rest assure, that God has blessed you
With one of his very own angels
Because you are such a magnificent mother.
Tyler did not leave you,
He tucked himself inside your heart.
And he will be there forever,
Until you embrace again in Heaven.

In memory of Hayden & Kayden
(Angel Twins)
Our lives were turned upside down,
On the day you left for Heaven.
The room so quiet, not a sound.
We could only heard our tears
The rest was a deafening silence.
Our melancholy souls and our new found fears.
How are we expected to go on
Without our precious boys?
Is this just a dream that will end at dawn?
Questions fill our heads
As we desperately search for answers;
Why aren’t our babies asleep in their beds?
The search seems to be never-ending,
Yet the answer is in our hearts.
God loves us, and two angels He is sending.
Our arms ache to hold you once more.
Yet until we get to Heaven
We will bear this open sore.
Mommy sends her love, and Daddy holds you near
For we are so proud of our angel boys
Even though you are not here.
The pain will always be there
For we love you so very much.
Even though at times, it doesn’t seem fair.
God whispers in my ear
“You are wonderful parents.
That’s why I placed my angels here.
The love you have given to these precious boys
Will help them while they are in Heaven
As they watch over the world and spread their joys.”
The Tiniest Angels Make the Most Lasting Impressions
Written by Cindy McDermott
In memory of all of our tiny angels
My precious baby,
I miss you terribly.
Many don’t understand
The pain I feel inside.
They don’t understand
How I could have already
Fell in love with you.
You were only within me
For a very short time;
Yet you will forever be
In my heart.
For you are my child;
And I am your Mommy.
Such a tiny angel you are,
Yet such a lasting impression
You have left of me,
That will last me until
I return Home,
To be with you again.
The Little Girl I Never Knew
Written by: Cindy McDermott
In Memory of Rebecca
What a blessing your birth was;
Yet so little time you spent here.
I was so very young;
Yet they didn’t seem to care.
My heart was shattered;
To never hold you in my arms,
To never kiss your precious face,
To never feel your soft skin.
Everybody ignored my feelings.
My emotions were dismissed,
As if I didn’t even matter.
Even so I missed her oh so much.
I saw her beautiful picture;
And I memorized every detail,
And forever imprinted it in my heart.
Several years have passed,
Yet my arms still ache to hold you.
Part of my being is left incomplete.
You will forever be with me,
For I loved you from the very start.
And oh how I will miss
That little girl I never knew.
