'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, But some childrens stockings were missing this year. |
Children were nestled all snug in their beds, Some parents cling to memories dancing in their heads; These children all fought their battles so strong, Why oh why God, did disease have to come along? |
Whether Cancer, Leukemia, Brain Tumors or AIDS, These children all fought for each precious day; From needles to transplants to losing their hair, These angels still found a smile to share. |
Their memories live on...these precious little ones, Disease has taken so many of our daughters and sons; Children should not have to go through this fear... Please oh please God... can you send us a cure? |
Star after star after star they came... Heavenly Lights displays each precious name. Each angel a story, a family forever changed.... As we read each childs star...name after name... |
Jordyn, and Michael, Benjamin, and Timmy... There's Joseph, and Joshua, Ariel, and Jimmy; Their stories all told, and memories held dear... These children are spending Christmas in Heaven this year. |
The Sky is a twinkling, their stars sure do shine, So many hearts touched, especially mine; A bundle of joy...missed so sadly will be, Their memories will continue on...for all to see. |
Their eyes how they twinkled, their smiles were so bright, Just like their stars that now light up our night; Shattered lives, futures changed, a puzzle incomplete, The meaning of life...these parents now seek. |
God went right to work, and spoke not a word, These children are now...as free as a bird; God brings comfort and strength and has plenty to share, The burdens will be eased with His loving care. |
God is caring and strong, and needed so much, And they smile in God's presence...so graciously touched; God filled each stocking with hope...faith...and love, God blessed us all...and back to heaven He rose. |
Please hold us all close Father...let us feel your love, Take care of the children up in Heaven above; Send each parents love to their angel in the sky, Until we are reunited in Heaven...and can understand why. |
Childhood disease is so present today, We cant ignore it...we must find a way... To cure these diseases too many to name, Please pray for a cure...in Jesus's name. |
Disease can happen anytime... anywhere..to anyone We must not quit until the battles all won! Lets make 2002 the year... ......for a better cure. |
Better cures must be found please help the fight... "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!" |

'Twas The Night Before Christmas was originally written by Clement Clarke Moore, which legend says he wrote on Christmas Eve in 1822 during a sleigh ride home from Greenwich Village after buying a turkey for his family. Some say the inspiration for Moore's pot-bellied St. Nicholas was the chubby, bewhiskered Dutchman who drove Moore to Greenwich Village to buy his holiday turkey! Moore never copyrighted his poem, and only claimed as his own over a decade after it was first made public. Moore read the poem to his wife and six children on Christmas Eve and supposedly thought no more about it. |
