| Sentiments of Sailor Kate |
| This poem was written especially for Sailor Kate by Jimmy and Janie Howard, parents of Sailor's Aunt Jill: Sailor Kate went sailing, so young and so free Now she's on the lap of her Great Gran Ma Marie Sailor, you know how much you were loved And we're sure you're looking down from Heaven above You were here on earth for such a short time But, for all who loved you, that time was so divine It's hard to understand why God took you on 2/27 But right now we know, there's one more little Angel in Heaven So, Sail on, Sail on, Sailor Sail on in our hearts and in our minds Sail on, Sail on, Sailor We'll see you when we reach the other side With much love, Jimmy and Janie |

Who am I to wish her back into this world of strife? No, play on my baby, you have eternal life. At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes, I'll hear her tiny footsteps come running to my side. Her little hands caress me so tenderly and sweet, I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes and embrace her in my sleep. No, I have a treasure I rate above all other, I have known true glory ~ I am still her mother |
| This poem was sent to us from a web friend, Dee. Angels When God calls little children to dwell with him above We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold So he picks a rosebud before it grows old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes a but a few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try The saddest word mankind knows will always be goodbye. So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find. "You and Sailor are in my constant thoughts. I read how you always called Sailor baby Angel. She is now an Angel watching over you and your family." Dee |
