This was written in memory of all the children on my website who have lost their battles here on earth in hopes to raise more awareness to childhood disease and get others
to help in the fight for better cures in their memory.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow for Childloss.
Grief Poems
Its not a place you can get to by boat or a train...
Its far far away...
Behind the moon...
Beyond the rain...
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high...
Theres a land that I heard of ...
Once in a lullaby.
Oh yes..Heaven is a beautiful place
And I thank God for that everyday...
I know He is with me and guiding me...
As I continue my journey today.
Just Like the twister in the Wizard of OZ
The disease came and tore my world apart...
So this long and lonely journey called grief
...has left me with a broken heart.
Dorothys journey continued over the rainbow...
So has my childs...just a little past beyond...
The Wizard of Oz and grief have so much in common...
And so the story and my journey continue on...
Somedays this journey seems long and winding
Just like the Yellow Brick Road,
Sometimes I feel I have lost my way...
And feel like I'm carrying such a heavy load.
Just Like Dorothy met the Scarecrow...the Cowardly Lion..
and the Tin Man... as she went along her way...
I too have met many compassionate people along my way..
But I have also lost just as many who shyed away.

Please be patient with the slow load...
Just like the Scarecrow wanted a brain...
I think I could use a bigger one too...
To hold my memories of sweet yesterdays...
And remember everything she used to do.
Just like the Tin Man wanted a heart...
I think I could use a new one too...
As mine is broken in a million pieces...
Somedays I just dont know what to do.
Like the Cowardly Lion who wanted some courage
I too want some courage....to help me climb this hill...
To help me keep moving through this world of grief
When the whole world seems to be standing still.
When the poppy flowers made Dorothy tired...
The Scarecrow was going to pull her along...
I too need friends to be by my side...
To listen and help me be strong.
If only this story was true
And my child could click her shoes three times or four..
And say theres no place like home...
And she would be back in my arms once more.
If only I could also wake up from this bad dream
And go back in time...
And have my child here once more...
And leave this thing called grief behind.
But since life is not a fairy tale...
And my wishes cannot come true,
We will remember her and all that she was
My beautiful child...I will always love you.
I will continue on my journey with God by my side
And help the fight for a better cure...
Raise more awareness to childhood disease...
And all these precious children have had to endure.
Yes, my child is somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high...
In a place that I heard of...
Once in a lullaby.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
With the first light of sun....Bless you!
When the long day is done...Bless you!
In your smiles and your tears....Bless you!
Through each day of your years....Bless you!
