The Tiny "Rosebud" God Picked to Bloom
The Master Gardener From Heaven Above
Planted a seed in The Garden of Love
And from it there grew A rosebud small
That never had time to open at all,
For God in HIS perfect And all-wise way
Chose this rose for HIS HEAVENLY BOUQUET
And great was the joy of this tiny rose
To be the one our FATHER chose
To leave earth's garden
for ONE on high
Where roses bloom always, And never die...
So, while you can't see
Your prescious rose bloom,
You know THE GREAT GARDENER from the "Upper Room"
is watching and tending this wee rose with care,
Tenderly touching each petal so fair...
So think of your darling with the Angels above
Secure and contented and surrounded by Love.
Light a Candle
by Paul Alexander
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I keep on moving on, you know it's not the same.
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do your hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold onto the love and life we knew.
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
I also forgot to mention..... Braxton's birthday is also the same day as my sisters.
Just strange how things work out.
I found your precious story on craigslist. I looked at the pictures of your happy baby.
I seen all the pain and suffering he went thru. I pray for you and your family and expectly your little angel that is now one of God's Angels.
I have a grandson myself. I couldn't even imagine watching my grandson go thru so much at such at young age. What a beautiful baby he is!
When I was reading all the nice comments..... the last one that was left is from my brother named Johnny from Gatorland. How strange is that, that we both came across this story. I haven't talked to my brother about this story at all. What a small world. And how this little boy touched so many lives.
May God bless you and never let go of his memories! He will always be with you in your heart.

Just remembering you in these times of sadness, I hope you are as happy as your sweet smile is in the pictures. My friend who brought you the AC left us just 6 months after you went to heaven - if you see him say Hi! He often thought of you and wished he could of helped more.
In your memory Braxton, and my friend Jason Finney.
God Bless,
Johnny
