'ITS THE SEASON
It is trying to be
a warm and a loving time,
with kindness and light,
and a feeling of hopeful renewal.
  
Find what blessings you can,
help your heart to remember
that the children who died
are about us, everywhere
trying to make this,
even for you
a warm and a loving time.
* * * * * * * * *
Seasons of lights,
Seasons of love and peace,
Season of shadow,
Season of memories,
Season of warmth and joy,
Season of secret tears:
  
Give us the courage to laugh again.
Give us the vision to hope again.
Give us the power to love again - - -
    For all our new seasons
    And all our New Years

Candles
by sascha

It is not easy to remember dead children.

But, easy or not,
we know that we will not -
and do not want to -
forget them.

Therefore we reach out together again,
to love them and to celebrate their memory.

Again, we light their special candles
and we say their beloved names.

We remember our children, who died.
They remain forever part of us, and we are richer for having shared their lives,
however briefly.
