Candles may be brightly burning, JAYDEN'S MEMORIAL DAY ....by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001
Jayden left this earth not long ago,
"VISIT WITH LUKE"
Last Entry in Luke's Journal:
"When there is love in my heart and a smile on my face,
Sadness fell from skies like rain
When Angels whispered my child's name
Now bathed in thoughts of lost tomorrow
Echo songs of mother's sorrow
Mind in cloud as mountains mist
Remembered lips gently kissed
Weighted heart cry wounded soul
Shards of life, less than whole
This child's time of hourglass and sand
Slipped through the shelter of mother's hand
Memories left as leaves upon the ground
Waiting, hoping for his voice's sound
Winds of change, wish for chance
To obtain another dance
Open meadows of shady sight
Strain to see him in heaven's light
Casted colors of dawn's bright hue
Pale my son, in the light of you
Upon a special birthday cake.
Friends and family may be singing,
To what appears an empty space.
You see, that space is only empty,
To your normal human sight.
For Jayden is always near you,
With a spirit that is bright.
To touch may not be possible,
Although Jayden does exist,
Not in a way you understand,
But with a presence that persists.
So celebrate this special day,
The day Jayden was born,
Shout "Happy Birthday Jayden!!!"
Even though you deeply mourn.

On a day that's difficult to recall.
That day that ripped your heart out,
A pain not understood at all.
I know the deep wound it has left you,
You see, I have that open wound too.
Because....my Luke was taken from me,
Just as your Jayden was taken from you.
It doesn't matter how long it's been,
A year, a few years, or many more.
I share how it seems only yesterday,
Jayden was with you and safe as before.
The days gone by are lonely echoes,
Of a much happier life and time,
I wish for you the comfort of memories,
Held forever in your heart and mind.
Just know that Jayden is reaching out,
To announce that life is not through,
To tell you that the spirit never leaves,
and is always watching over you.
So on this special memorial day,
Let there be honor and memories and pride.
May you feel the spirit of everlasting love,
On this day that your sweet Jayden died.
