When I Became A Heart Mother

When I Became a Heart Mother
One day my world came crashing down,
I'll never be the same.
They told me that my child was sick
I thought, am I to blame?

I don't think I can handle this
I'm really not that strong
It seemed my heart was breakingAs,
I'd loved him for so long.

I will not give up on this child
despite your best "advice"
I will give my child a chance
No matter what the price

And I will learn all that I need
to help my child to thrive
II'll even use that feeding tube
My child will survive!

Will he recquire therapy?
What if he can't gain weight?
Alright God I can do this
I will not curse our fate.

The feeding pump beeps,( at 3:00 a.m.)
It serves as my reminder
How many parents would welcome that sound?
Tomorrow Lord, I will be kinder.

Another angel earns their wings
AndI run to my sleeping child's bed
I watch him then, for quite awhile
(Bend down and kiss his head)
Then I cry for the parent's
whose lives have been broken
And I look to God wondering why?

Oh Lord, I just can't know your ways
No matter how I try
And yet, I trust You hold his life
(and guide us through each day)
My mind says savor each moment
he's here But my heart whispers,
"Please let him stay"

From pacing the surgical waiting room
to sitting by his hospital bed
From wishing for a good nights sleep
to learning every med
From wondering will he be alright
to watching him reach out his hands

with every smile, my heart just melts
despite life's harsh demands
For all who see that faded line
I look to them and smile
You see my child is loved so much
I would face any trial
That same scar I trace with my finger
It's the door to his beautiful heart

I never guessed how much I'd love him
Just as YOU loved him right from the start
A heart mom is always a heart mom
Now wise beyond her years
And for those who have angels in heaven
Our hearts share in all of your tears

Everyday I will strive to remember
You chose me for him and no other
And I will embrace that beautiful day
When I became a "heart mother".

Half of An Angel's Heart

It's a beautiful day up in heaven.
Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and e born.One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus 'I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you'.
He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit.
He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, 'How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?
The angel smiles and says, 'I guess that will work'. But the little angel is still a little scared.
He asks, 'Will I be okay with only half of my heart?' Jesus replies, 'Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine.'
Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says 'When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart.'
'Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday.' 'And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again.
Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves.'

What Faith Can Do by Kutless

These are lyrics to a song that made me cry the first time I heard it and it still brings a tear to my eye. This is my song for Emma :) What Faith Can Do Lyrics Everybody falls sometimes Gotta find the strength to rise From the ashes and make a new beginning Anyone can feel the ache You think it’s more than you can take But you are stronger, stronger than you know Don’t you give up now The sun will soon be shining You gotta face the clouds To find the silver lining I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard Impossible is not a word It’s just a reason for someone not to try Everybody’s scared to death When they decide to take that step Out on the water It’ll be alright Life is so much more Than what your eyes are seeing You will find your way If you keep believing I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do Overcome the odds You don't have a chance (That’s what faith can do) When the world says you can’t It’ll tell you that you can! I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do That's what faith can do! Even if you fall sometimes You will have the strength to rise
