My lil brothers woodshop class offered to make a cherry wood box to hold my son Max's ashes in and a few memorial items. They want to put his name on top along with an engraving in his honor. I been racking my brain for the past few days on what to say cause I want it to be perfect and it will be forever and cant change it once its done. I found a saying I liked..just want some opinions or maybe some sugestions..here is what I found so far
An angel in heaven opened the book of life
and wrote down my sons date of birth
and she softly whispered when she closed the book
He was much to beautiful for earth
An angel in heaven opened the book of life
and wrote down my sons date of birth
and she softly whispered when she closed the book
He was much to beautiful for earth
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
"If every tear we shed for you became a star above; youd stroll in
Angels garden, lit by everlasting love."
"Sweet little flower of Heavenly birth, you were too fair to bloom
on Earth"
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
I like yours as well. I hope I helped
"please be gentle, this box contains a dream" or
"please be gentle, this box contains an angel"
"Please tread lightly, our hopes and dreams lie here"
That one stuck with me.
The ones you mentioned are beautiful and I'm sure whatever you end up picking will be perfect. Its a beautiful gift that your brother and his classmates are giving you.
I used it on my thank you cards with Nicholas' footprints on the front.
or
An Angel from the Book of Life wrote down my dear son's birth, and whispered as she closed the book, "Too Beautiful for Earth"
Those are the other versions of it, too.
That's one of my favorite poems ♥ I have it on my son's memorial website.
Please, try not to question God, Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming, That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane. That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing, and your heart feels a little tug, That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama don't your cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
