..when you travel you see a lot of little white crosses:

The Little White Cross

Little White Cross
Along the way
You beckoned my thoughts
As I passed you today.

What was your story?
What was your name?
Who loved you so much
a cross here they claim?

Were you a victim
of alcohol's scorn?
Or sweet, tiny baby
who never was born?

Little white cross
Along the way
A tear fell for you
As I passed you today.

If I Turned, And You Were Gone...

If I turned
And you were gone,
A part of me
would go along.

A part of me 
Would live in you...
One in soul,
Yet we are two

My love for you
forever strong.
If I turned 
And you were gone.

..This poem was written for my friend who recently had a miscarriage.

Andrew

I knew you were there
If just for awhile
Bringing joy to my heart
You made me smile

Too soon you left
And went away
To a place where we'll meet
Again one day

God's angels now hold you
In heaven's care,
Where the first breath you took
Was celestial air.

I'll not mourn
But I'll remember you,
Forever in my heart…
Precious Andrew
