Rest in Peace
Children who die are not really gone,
But go to a place that is something like home,
Where they sleep the deep sleep, as quiet as stone,
Until we can join them when our lives are done.
Children who die are not really dead,
But just like good children tucked into bed,
Wait the long wait while we go ahead
Till our tales are all told and our tears are all shed.
Children who die feel no pleasure or pain
In the place where they wait till they see us again,
And all of us dance in a world washed with rain
Where the sun shines so brightly no sorrows remain.
~Nicholas Gordon
I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness.
I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness.
I miss the things I used to do for you.
I miss the time, now filled with emptiness,
When each day was a stage for something new.
I miss your love, though mine for you remains,
A passion with no outlet to the sea,
A teardrop in a desert, that contains
What’s left of my maternal ecstasy.
I miss your presence, like a silent chord
That anchored even solitude in grace.
I miss, for my love’s labor, the reward
Of seeing some small pleasure in your face.
All these I miss, and yet they are all here
Within my heart, far more than I can bear.
~Nicholas Gordon

The body of eight-year-old Hope Arismandez was found in a canefield at Pierre Road Connector in
Chaguanas by Homicide officers.
Police believe that Hope, of Umesh Drive, in Chaguanas, a student of the Carapichaima Roman Catholic
School, was criminally assaulted.
She had been reported missing by her mother, Sherma Rajoon, on Saturday.
A 30-year-old relative of Hope is being held in police custody. Police said he led officers to her
body.
A report said Hope left home on Saturday in the company of a relative, who claimed he went to buy
gas at the Medford Gas Station.
However, the relative gave conflicting stories to police officers when interrogated.
The suspect first stated he bought gas, but he then said the gas station was too busy. In another
version, he said he only remembered seeing Hope at her house.
Homicide officers visited the mother’s home yesterday around midday and conducted investigations.
Within three hours, Hope’s body was found.
Investigators said Hope was clad in the pink shirt she left the house in on Saturday.
Pieces of underwear and pants were found a short distance away, investigators said.
They said the child’s was found face down with stab wounds.
The relative, who was under police guard, hid in a heavily-tinted white SUV, away from the sight of
reporters and villagers who gathered at the crime scene.
Hours before, the victim’s father, Ronald Arismandez, and Rajoon prayed for their daughter’s
safe return.
However, Rajoon said she blamed the relative.
“He is to blame because I left her in his custody,” Rajoon said, in an interview at her Umesh
Drive home.
School principal Heather Palmer Ovid and teacher Yvette Avella visited the apartment to give support
to Hope’s mother.
Teddy bears lined her little bed and a bike was placed at its foot.
The mother said she had been left Hope in the care of a man.
“He did not even want her to go by a neighbour’s house. He would take her everywhere he went,”
Rajoon said.
Nevertheless, Rajoon said the relative had been known to take occasional drinks when he got his
fortnightly pay.
The mother also said Hope wanted to be a teacher and spent all her spare time reading.

It's night time again...
Beautiful Angel above
So tonight I will send you lots of love
Cuddle up warm..
On this November night
We all love and miss you..
With all of our might
You sleep on the clouds..
All fluffy and white
I bet you look..
Such a beautiful sight
Just snuggle up..
All cosy with God above
And watch me light..
Your candle with love

It’s amazing what can truly happen,
How your life can be so grand;
When you give up trying on your own
And let an angel hold your hand.
All the loneliness inside of you
Will completely disappear;
When you realize you’re not alone,
That your angel is very near.
Your life will become more meaningful,
As well as totally rearrange;
You’ll be amazed at all that you can do,
At the blessings of the change.
You will be able to handle anything,
There is nothing you can’t face;
With your angel there to lead you
Your entire life will fall in place.
Just give up trying on your own,
And allow your angel to lead;
All of Heaven’s blessings will come to you,
Nothing else you’ll ever need.
No matter what you are called to do,
How simple or complex the task;
Your angel will be there to show the way,
All you have to do is ask.
Don’t ever let yourself feel discouraged,
Feel this thought within your soul;
All the things you’ve ever dreamed of
Will become a reachable goal.
So let your angel hold your hand,
Your life will be so complete;
Prepare to conquer the tasks of life,
There will be no battle you can’t defeat.

A Child Loaned
A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."
GOD BLESS LITTLE ONE

tributes for the weekend xxxxx
FOR FRIDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER
Good Bye
I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.
Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”
So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.
But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.
You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
If I Had One Last Day
If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied
I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart
If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
Letter From Heaven For My Family........
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
