Here are a few poem ideas to consider before releasing the doves.
God's Garden
God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place Gods garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He knew you were suffering, he knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb. He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be Thine"It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home.........AUTHOR UNKNOWN
Little Angels
God sent an angel to the earth...The sweetest angel too and for such a tiny little thing, she had so much to do.She knew she did not have much time upon this earth to stay, so she did not waste a second; she got started right away. Her eyes were bright and sparkly, she took in every turn.She did not miss a single thing, because Angel came to learn! God sent her here to touch the hearts of those he could not reach...She taught them courage, strength and faith, because Angel came to teach. Her tiny little body was so full of God above, you felt it when you held her, because Kaitlyn came to love. In eleven short months she managed what many never will. When she went home to Jesus, her purpose was fulfilled. She learned and taught, loved and played, she learned her lessons well. I know he was so proud of her when she went home to dwell .But when I miss her OH-SO-MUCH, I can almost hear him say, please understand, her work was done...Kaitlyn did not come to stay.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more, day by day, You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that I once had, Better by far you should forget and smile. Than that you should remember and be sad

I'ts a Time of Heartfelt Sadness
It's a time of heartfelt sadness When a loved one passes on But know your loved one lives in joy And peace where he (or she) has gone Oh how much he will be missed. That's where the sadness lies But others who have missed him now rejoice in Heaven's skies. We know one day we'll join him. Because our time on earth will flee. We'll then live with him forever. Throughout all eternity

"Little Dove"
On the wings of this white doveI’ll set your spirit free.Up into the big deep sky, to heaven, where you’ll be.I know God has a plan for us, he wants us by his side.But it is hard for us to understand when we are left behind.Little dove, help lift our hearts as we watch you go,God is there if we just ask, because He loves us so.
You Never Said GoodBye
You never said I'm leaving, You never said goodbye.You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why.A million times I needed you, A million times I cried.If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill.It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go aloneFor part of me went with you, The day God took you home.YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE

Heavens's Little Angel
You’re one of Heaven’s angels now. A perfect little star, And when you shine the world can see How beautiful you are. May you fly with magic wings On clouds so soft and white, May your heart be joyful And your days be bathed in light. And though our hearts are broken And your life was far too short, We thank you, sweetest angel, For the happiness you brought.
Don't Cry For Me
Don’t cry for me. I will be okay.Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay. Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong.I want you to be happy and try to stay strong. Don’t cry for me. It was just my time,But I will see you someday on the other side. Don’t cry for me. I’m not alone.The angels are with me to welcome me home. Don’t cry for me, for I have no fear.All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears. Don’t cry for me. This is not the end.I’ll be waiting here for you when we meet again.
You Meant So Much
Much You meant so much to all of us,You were special and that's no lie You brightened up the darkest day And the cloudiest sky Your smile alone warmed hearts Your laugh was like music to hearI would give absolutely anything To have you well and standing near Not a second passes. When you're not on our minds Your love we will never forget The hurt will ease in time Many tears I have seen and cried They have all poured out like rainI know that you are happy now And no longer in any pain.
Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the roadAnd the sun has set for me, Shed not a tear in a gloom filled room,Why cry for a soul that has been set free! Miss me a little, but not for long,And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go! For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone;It’s all a part of the Master’s planA step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart,Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go.
Carry Me Home
My loved ones do not cry And worry of me For like the doveI have been set free.God has called me To my mansion on high Just there among the clouds In the deep blue sky. I have no pain No suffering to doI have been called home And I know you will too. So beat hard and fast Little wings off white
And carry me home Before the night~

"God Saw You Getting Tired"
"God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped His arms around you, And whispered, “Come unto me”. You didn’t deserve what you went through, And so He gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful,He only takes the best. So when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain.I could not wish you to come back, to suffer that all again.
