Happy 3rd Birthday Ben

Happy 3rd Birthday to our Angel Boy Ben:)

Benjamin Dwayne Pollard is 3 years old today. He was taken into God's loving arms November 1, 2006. I am sure that his Grandpa Dwayne and God are throwing him a wonderful birthday celebration in heaven!

Ben is greatly missed by us all and I know he lives on through his family! He was the most wonderful little spark of life and ray of sunshine!

Here are two poems that really touch me!

The Cord

We are connected,

My child and I,

by An invisible cord

Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord

That connects us 'til birth

This cord can't been seen

By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work

Right from the start.

It binds us together

Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there

Though no one can see

The invisible cord

From my child to me.

The strength of this cord

Is hard to describe.

It can't be destroyed

It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord

Man could create

It withstands the test

Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,

Though you're not here with me,

The cord is still there

But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart

I am bruised...I am sore,

But this cord is my lifeline

As never before.

I am thankful that God

Connects us this way

A mother and child

Death can't take it away!

I am not there

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there.

I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the snow on the mountain's rim,

I am the laughter in children's eyes,I am the sand at the water's edge,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle Autumn rain,

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,

I am the star that shines at night,

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there,

I did not die.
