Gone but Never Forgotten Untillwe Meet Again in the Clouds Funeral

This is a selection of poems, readings and quotes to requite condolement and support to anyone who has lost a baby to stillbirth, miscarriage or any other illness. As a female parent, my middle breaks when I compile this list, but we have many clients who come to us deeply bereaved and are so grateful for the information they have found on our weblog, and I hope that this list of poems and quotes may not only provide some pocket-size amount of comfort just may as well provide ideas for an epitaph or headstone quote. It is always worth waiting at least a yr before fifty-fifty thinking about a memorial, and ofttimes several years will get by before y'all are able to face the thought of commissioning a memorial. Practice not feel hurried, take your time, and exist kind to yourself.

And so go and run complimentary with the angels
Every bit they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good intendance of you for me

But every bit God calls us one past one

With the biggest kind of love.

And more peaceful than a pigeon.

Since they had to permit her get.
So she watches them from heaven
Only she knows the time will come up,
They volition bring together their precious girl
When their work on earth is washed

from On The Beach At Night

Weep non, child,
Cry non, my darling,
With these kisses let me remove your tears,
The ravening clouds shall not long exist victorious,
They shall not long possess the sky, they devour the stars only in apparition,
Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, sentry again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge,
They are immortal, all those stars both silverish and golden shall polish out once more,
The great stars and the lilliputian ones shall polish out again, they endure,
The vast immortal suns and the long-indelible pensive moons shall again smooth.

Walt Whitman

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say good day
Y'all were gone before nosotros knew information technology
And only God knows why

Our hearts still anguish in sadness
And surreptitious tears still flow
What it meant to lose you lot
No one will e'er know

But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life nevertheless has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

Your fingerprints are on my center.
Fingerprints that teach me about caring.
Fingerprints that teach me about love.
Fingerprints that teach me about courage.
Fingerprints that teach me about promise.

Fingerprints that bring me closer to myself.

All this from tiny fingerprints that touch my heart.
Y'all will live in my heart forever - never to be forgotten.
I will always love you.
You are my child.

And then you'll understand.

I Remember You

The globe may never notice
If a rosebud doesn't flower:
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms,
Or always comes to be
Touches the World in some modest manner
For all eternity.

The little ones we longed for
Were swiftly hither and gone.
But the dear that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do
Every beating of my heart says
"I Remember You"

Don't recollect of him equally gone away

Don't think of him every bit gone away,
His Journeying's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is but one.

Only call up of him every bit resting,
From the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.

Thinking how he must be wishing
That nosotros could know today,
How nothing just our sorrows
Can really pass away.

And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched,
For nothing loved is always lost
And he was loved and so much.

You Were Taken On Angel's Wings

You were taken on affections's wings
Every bit you lot sweetly and quietly slept
And returned to heaven earlier we knew
That you had even left

Our hearts are heavy and sorrowed
That our time with you lot was so brief
For you were our gift of sky's calorie-free
That is now replaced with grief

Just not so much that we won't be grateful
For every second that you were here
You filled our hearts with and then much joy
Treasured memories we'll hold forever beloved

And though nosotros weren't blest to run into you grow up
We were blessed to see you grinning
And to concur you lovingly in our arms
For simply a little while

Even though you're in Heaven at present
We trust y'all're not too far abroad
To be close to united states when we long for you lot near
For a part of our family you'll always stay

We'll wait forwards to the solar day when you're with us again
When the happiness that has left us volition never once again part
For when you lot left on affections's wings
Y'all took with you lot the deepest love in our hearts

O precious, tiny, sweetness piffling i
You lot will always be to me.

Only as you were meant to be.

And nevertheless volition have forever!

But you did not become alone.

Information technology'due south not similar the cord that connects us at birth

This cord does it's work right from the showtime

And though you are gone, though you're not here with me

Information technology pulls at my heart, I am bruised...I am sore
but this cord is my lifeline as never earlier.
I'g thankful that my heart connects us this way
a mother and child, death can't take it abroad!!

from Martial Cadenza

Simply this evening I saw again depression in the sky

Not in a later son, a different daughter, some other identify,
But equally if evening institute us immature, notwithstanding young,
Still walking in a present of our ain.

The child was a gift. The grief does not smother the gratitude. And death..is non the finish. We grieve, merely not as those who accept no hope. All the same none says that since expiry is non the terminate, we should not grieve. Though grief does non smother hope, neither does hope smother grief.

You embrace my heart and hold it close,
Forever on Affections's Wings

There are many things I will never get to do,
but the hardest is non being with you.

Early on Expiry

She passed away like forenoon dew
Earlier the dominicus was high;
So brief her time, she scarcely knew
The significant of a sigh.

As circular the rose its soft perfume,
Sweetness love effectually her floated;
Admired she grew - while mortal doom
Crept on, un-feared, un-noted.

Honey was her guardian angel hither,
But love to decease resigned her;
Though love was kind, why should nosotros fear
But holy death is kinder?

Hartley Coleridge

Don't Call back of Them equally Gone Away

Don't think of them as gone away,

Life holds and then many facets,
This globe is simply 1.

Merely recall of them as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where at that place are no days or years.

Think of how they must be wishing,
That nosotros could know today,
How zero but our sadness
Can really pass away.

And think of them as living,
In the hearts of those they touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And they were loved so much!

Children Who Dice Are Not Really Gone

Children who dice are not really gone,
But go to a place that is something like abode,
Where they sleep the deep sleep, as quiet as rock,
Until we can join them when our lives are done.

Children who die are non really dead,
Simply just like expert children tucked into bed,
Await the long expect while we go ahead
Till our tales are all told and our tears are all shed.

Children who die experience no pleasure or pain
In the place where they wait till they encounter us again,
And all of us dance in a world done with rain
Where the sunday shines so brightly no sorrows remain.

Nicholas Gordon

As well Shortly

This was a life that had hardly begun
No time to find your place in the Sun
No time to do all you could accept done
But nosotros loved you plenty for a lifetime

No time to enjoy the world and its wealth
No time to take life down off the shelf
No time to sing the songs of yourself
Though you had enough love for a lifetime

Those who live long endure sadness and tears
Only you'll never suffer the sorrowing years
No betrayal, no anger, no hatred, no fears
Only love - But beloved - In your lifetime.

Mary Yarnall

How long with the pain final?

How long will the hurting last? " a anxious mourner
asked me. 'All the balance of your Life.'
I take to answer truthfully.

We never quite forget. No thing how many
years pass, we remember.

The loss of a loved one is similar a major operation.
Part of us is removed, and we take a scar
for the rest of our lives.
As years go by, we manage.

There are things to practice, people to treat, tasks that
call for full attention.
Simply the hurting is even so there, not far below the surface.

Nosotros see a confront that looks familiar,
hear a voice that echoes, see a photograph in someone's
anthology, see a landscape that once we saw together, and information technology
seems equally though a knife were in the wound over again.

But not so painfully
And mixed with joy too
Because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow
it brings happiness with it

How long will the hurting last?
All the rest of your life
Simply the things to remember is that
non but the hurting will last merely,
the blest memories every bit well

Tears are proof of life
the more love, the more tears
If this exist true, then how could we ever enquire
That hurting cease all together
For and so the memory of love would become with it
the pain of grief is the cost we pay for honey!

A Child of Mine

I'll lend you lot for a little while
A child of mine God said
For yous to love while he lives
And mourn for when he's expressionless

It may exist six or vii years
Or twenty 2 or three
But will you 'til I telephone call him back
Take intendance of him for Me

He'll bring his charms to gladden y'all
And should his stay be cursory
You'll always take his memories
As a solace for your grief

I cannot promise he volition stay
Equally all from earth return
But there are lessons taught downwardly in that location
That I desire this child to learn

I've looked this whole globe over
In my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that oversupply life's lane
I have chosen yous

Now volition you requite him all your love
Nor think labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to take
This lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say
Beloved Lord Thy Will be done
For all the joys Thy kid will bring
The risk of grief we'll run

Nosotros'll shelter him with ternderness
We'll love him while we may
And just for having loved him
Forever grateful stay

But should the angels come for him
Much sooner than we planned
Nosotros'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And attempt, to understand

Fluff Upwards The Clouds

Call heaven there's an Affections
That's coming home today.
Our hearts are sad and broken
Because he couldn't stay.

Fluff upwards the clouds and lay him
Gently in your care.
Place the tiny halo
Softly in his pilus.

Our arms will never hold him again
Our lips volition never kiss
The velvet of his cheeks once again
We were non prepared for this.

In our hearts will be a tiny hole
Where e'er you will be.
Because we loved you so much
Our hearts will e'er grieve.

I Do Not Think My Song Volition Terminate

I do not recall my song volition end
While flowers, grass and trees
Abound with birds and butterflies
For I am one with these.

And I believe my vocalism will audio
Upon the whispering wind
And then long as fifty-fifty one remains
Among those I call "friend."

I shall remain in hearts and minds
Of loved ones that I knew,
And in the rocks and hills and streams
Because I dear those, too.

And so long as dear and hope and dreams
Abide in world and sky,
Weep not for me, though I be gone.
I shall not actually dice.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)

How practice I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can achieve, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day'due south
Most quiet demand, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I dearest thee with the passion put to utilise
In my erstwhile griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I dearest thee with a dearest I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall merely dear thee better after expiry.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861

Little Angels

When God calls little children to dwell with Him in a higher place,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of ane small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and balmy
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud earlier information technology can grow one-time.

God knows how much nosotros demand them, and and then He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more cute to view.
Assertive this is difficult still somehow we must try,
The saddest word flesh knows volition ever exist "Cheerio."
So when a lilliputian child departs, nosotros who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to notice.

from The Prelude

..whether we exist young or onetime,
Our destiny, our being's heart and home,
Is with infinitude, and only there;
With hope information technology is, hope that can never dice,
Try, and expectation, and desire,
And something evermore about to be.

William Wordsworth

Everything Passes And Vanishes

Everything passes and vanishes;
Everything leaves its trace;
And often you see in a pace
What you lot could not run into in a face up.

William Allingham

One Person

Sometimes when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.

Alphonse de Lamartine

from Dombey and Son

And can information technology exist that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, and so wide and deep that nothing just the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up!

Charles Dickens

from Romeo and Juliet

When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in picayune stars,
And he will make the confront of heaven then fine
That all the world will be in dear with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

William Shakespeare

2 Headed boy

Two headed boy
There is no reason to grieve
The earth that you need is wrapped in gilded argent sleeves
Left below Christmas trees in the snowfall
And I will take you and leave you alone
Watching spirals of white softly flow
Over your eyelids and all you did
Will wait until the point when yous let go

Lyrics by Neutral Milk Hotel

Holy Innocents

Sleep, footling babe, sleep;
The holy Angels love thee,
And baby-sit thy bed, and go along
A blessed sentinel above thee.
No spirit can come about
Nor evil beast to harm thee:
Slumber, sweet, devoid of fright
Where nothing need alarm thee.

The dearest which doth non sleep,
The eternal Arms around thee:
The shepherd of the sheep
In perfect love hath found thee.
Sleep through the holy night,
Christ-kept from snare and sorrow,
Until thou wake to light
And love and warmth to-morrow.

Christina Rossetti

Only a trivial while

We were together
Only a footling while,
And nosotros believed our love
Would last a thousand years.
