Melanie Bowers

I thought of you Melanie 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 it is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day,
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay.

I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here then he took a breath,
and cleared his throat,
And then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing Here...

If you could see your child smile
With other children and say,
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear,
But My mummy loved me so much
I got to come straight here!"

I feel so lucky to have a Mum who has so much love for me,
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mummy set me free....

I was so excited when I woke up today
I heard my Mummy was coming today
I washed my wings and my halo too
Because that's what Mummy likes me to do.

I went to the place where I knew she'd be
It's where she comes to visit me
She comes for comfort in her despair
Oh my Mummy, can't you feel me touching your hair?

I'm by your side all through the night
I never let you out of my sight
I was your baby for four and a half years
But soon we can be together and play
You know we'll never be apart
You'll never let me leave your heart.
Mummy I'm not really in the ground,
Lift up your head and look around
The clouds, the birds, the raindrops too
These gifts of life were given to you
Don't cry for me Mummy,
I know you're here
Please let me wipe away that tear.

I was sent to you from up above
And you showed me the ultimate love
Instead of giving me all of your years
You freely gave me all of your tears

Remember your relatives, the ones who have died?
They brought me here, I'm by their side
They watch over me and help me to see
Just how much you really love me.

So don't be unhappy when you come visit me
I'm the Angel above you, up in the tree
And when you leave, you'll never be through
You'll always be my Mummy
And I'll always love you.

Your one and only Baby Doll Melanie. 

Sweet 16 is what you are today
God kept you holy, God kept you pure
Because it's God who loves you best
May you find in him your eternal rest.

We thank the Lord, you are his gift
To him your needs in prayer we lift
Whatever happened, we love you so.

Our Darling Melanie we daily pray
That God blesses you in every wa
And may your days be filled with grace,
Love and joy in your Heavenly place,
And here’s wishing you Our Angel.

Happy Birthday Our Sweet Sixteen
