5th Angelversary Celebration

 Angel of My Tears
How do you love a person who never go to be, 
or try to envision a face you never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one who never got to live,
When there's nothing to feel good about and nothing to forgive?
I love you, my little baby, my companion of the night.
Wandering through my lonely hours beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before you were ever born, 
to live the lovely night of life and never see the dawn?
Ah! My little baby, you lived like anyone!
Life's a burst of joy and pain.
And then like yours, it's done.
I love you, my little baby, just as if you'd lived for years.
No more, no less, I think of you,
the Angel of My Tears.

It was slightly chilly, but not too bad. We did not get to do balloons this year because everyone is out of helium. We liked the sparklers though and glad we decided to them!
Papa was sick, so he did not get to attend and Makaila is missing in the pictures because she was more involved with the dogs that our cousins brought..lol

 Our night was wonderful. We lit sparklers and let our light shine...

 Uncle Bo lighting his fires...

 Grandma Becky letting her light shine... 

  Cousin Jessica joined us along with Baby Ezra...

 

 Big sister letting her light shine...

 

 It looks like cousin DJ is letting his face burn, but he didn't...lol...  

   Granny's light was shining...

Your Baby brother letting his light shine...

We ended our gathering with this precious poem...

Precious Little One
I'm just a precious little one who didn't make it there.
I went straight to be with Jesus, but I'm waiting for you here.
Many dwelling here where I live, waited years to enter in.
Struggled through a world of sorrow, a world marred with pain and sin. 
Thank you for the life you gave me, it was brief but don't complain.
I have all Heaven's Glory, suffered none of earth's great pain.
Thank you for the name you gave me.
I'd have loved to bring it fame.
But if I'd lingered in earth's shadows, I would have suffered just the same.
So sweet family-don't you sorrow.
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.
I went straight Jesus' arms, from my loving Mother's womb.
