~I thought of you and closed my eyes

And prayed to God today

I asked "what makes a mother?"

And I know I heard him say.

"A mother has a baby"

This we know is true

"But God can you be a mother,

When your baby's not with you?"

"Yes, you can," He replied

With confidence in His voice

"I give many women babies,

When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime,

And others for the day.

And some I send to feel your womb,

But theres no need to stay."

"I just dont understand this God

I want my baby to be here."

He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,

And then I saw the tear.

"I wish I could show you,

What your child is doing today.

If you could see your child's smile,

With all the other children and say...

"We go to Earth to learn our lessons,

Of love and life and fear.

My mommy loved me oh so much,

I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a mom,

Who had so much love for me.

I learned my lessons very quickly,

My mommy set me free.

I miss my mommy oh so much,

But i visit her every day.

When she goes to sleep,

On her pillows where I lay

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,

And whisper in her ear.

Mommy dont be sad today,

Im your baby and Im here."

"So you see sweet ones,

your children are okay.

Your babies are born here in My home,

And this is where they'll stay.

They'll wait for you with Me,

Until your lessons through.

And on the day that you come home

they'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a mother,

Its the feeling in your heart

Its the love you had so much of

Right from the very start

Though some on earth may not realize,

You are a mother,

Until their time is done.

They'll be up here with Me one day

and know that you are the best one!"

For Skye's Daddy!

Hi daddy , its me,

Your baby girl in the sky.

Wont you tell me daddy,

Why does mommy cry?

Doesnt she know that i am happy here?

Heavens a beautiful place.

Oh, how it hurts me daddy

To see tears streaming down mommys face.

Daddy, tell her Im much better here,

But when I see mommy crying,

It just about tears it apart.

I know it hurt you both, daddy,

When Jesus took me away.

But you and mommy remember,

We'll be together again someday.

I cant wait to hug you,

I never got the chance before.

When its time for you to come,

I'll be waiting at Heaven's door.

Then you'll both understand,

Jesus knew where I needed to be.

What a marvelous place to live,

Just wait and you both will see.

Please let mommy know, daddy,

That I heard every word she said.

And I remember her softly touching me

As I lay in that hospital bed.

Just one more thing, daddy,

Before I have to go

I love you both very much

And I just wanted you to know~

Rest In Peace Skye Nickol Cartwright-Ladner

For Skye's Mommy: 

Mommy, don't cry, 'cause God is holding my hand
and telling me everything is OK.

Mommy, God said that I will never want for anything
and I will still feel your love all the way up here.

Mommy, you should see me,
I am running and playing with God's other children.

Mommy, guess who helps watch over us while we play?
They are God's Helping Angels!

Mommy, I'm not afraid, my grandpa and grandma are here.
They came to me when it was dark and held my hands;
then we went to God's bright light,
where Angels were singing.

Mommy, God said, If you feel sad, to remember this;
I'll be the gentle breeze that brushes your face,
the sun is my smile and the rain is me washing away your pain.

Mommy, I have to go now.
I send you all my love on the wings of an Angel.
