Overwhelmed With Love

My friend Jen, called me this morning, and told me to look outside my door. She had put this picture and poem together for me and wrapped it up. She told me to open the gift when I was alone. I laughed and said that I'm sure I know who it's going to be about. My sweet precious Isaiah.

I took her advice, and waited until later in the day when I was alone. It took my breathe away. There was my little buddy......... my little buddy. ~tears~

Thank you Jen.

Here is what the poem read:

I'M AN ANGEL NOW

One night I cried to Jesus 
As I sat beneath the tree;
I looked into the open sky
And hoped He'd answer me.

"I'm lost dear Lord ...
I've traveled far but still I seem to roam;
Please light the way and lead me, Lord,
I need to get back home."

I told Him of my burdens 
And of the sadness in my heart;
That from His gracious love
I'd never felt so far apart.

"Why did you take my child, Lord?
I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch his face 
Or hold his tiny hand."

"I'm angry, Lord ... I'm missing him,
I'm drowning in my sorrow;
Please help to heal my yesterday
And face each new tomorrow."

It was then I heard his gentle voice 
And felt his presence near;
How I wanted so to hold him 
As I cried another tear.

He said "Mommy, I'm an angel now, 
My spirit will be free;
I'm an angel now in heaven,
So please don't cry for me."

"I was chosen by our Lord above
And now I'm in His care;
Whenever you need me,
Just look inside your heart;
I promise to be there."

"No one can ever take away
Our bond with one another;
For I'll always be your precious child,
As you will always be my mother."

"So if you cannot find your way
Or the road to home seems far;
Just look up to the Heavens
And I'll be your guiding star."

He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now, 
My spirit will be free;
I'm an angel now in Heaven ...
There's no need to cry for me."

AND.......

Above, is a priceless ornament. It's not just another ornament... these ornaments that I have been given are new memories. New "moments" with my son. My former sister-in-law, Shelly, blessed me with this one. We shared a moment together. Tears were exchanged. A moment. A memory.

Thank you Shelly. It's beautiful... priceless.
