| Senseless Tragedy Remembering the Littlest Angels |
Since 1976, more than 70,000 children have been murdered in this country. Although our list is
grossly incomplete, this memorial tribute is to those whose lives were cut short by the uncaring
hands of another. Some of the names you will recognize from the media. Others never received
nationwide media coverage, however their death was just as tragic. May they be remembered
here and may they rest in peace in the Loving Hands of Our Heavenly Father.

bring it to our attention so it may be corrected. Our intent is not to cause harm, merely to

The death of any child is tragic, but each
one of the children listed here lost their life
at the hands of another. From willful
neglect to outright murder, each of these
children suffered at the uncaring hands of
someone else.
In some cases, entire families of children
have been murdered by their own mothers
and/or fathers. Some were killed by other
siblings or school mates. Regardless of
who was to blame, each child named here
met a tragic death.
Our mission is to list as many names as we
can to improve public awareness. We will
continue to add to this memorial wall as
names become known to us.
Our hearts and prayers go out to these
families.
Please note that this list does not list the
thousands of children still reported missing;
those who have died due to illness or birth
defect; or those who perished as a result of
an accident.

| There are so many things in life that we can't understand, like why a tragedy like this can happen in this land. One moment life is perfect and the next it falls apart, leaving us with nothing but an eternally aching heart. Our souls cry out in agony amidst the suffering and despair. We feel the pain and tear our clothes and scream "It isn't fair!" Spirits are now shattered. Hearts will never be the same. We grasp at straws and seek to find the one who is to blame. Horrific as our life now seems, one thing remains quite true. Our little ones have now been freed to do things angels do. They can't recall the horrors of those last days they were here. They remember not the terror ,the hurt, nor the fear. There is no fear in Heaven. No more sorrow. Only Joy. It's filled with joyous laughter from each little girl and boy. We can only try to imagine, in spite of all earthly wrongs, our little angels are learning the words to the Angel's songs. Amidst the children's laughter and their Heavenly play, there's also more important work going on there today. Jesus is building mansions, never taking time to sleep, for Reunions are being planned, yes, even as we weep. The children gather around Him and listen to Him speak, for He has all the answers that they curiously seek. He tells them for a time, in Heaven, they must wait, and then they can meet us at Heaven's pearly gate. |

| I’m only a small child, not much do I know. God holds onto my hand as I look down below. I’m here with the Father in the most beautiful place yet I can’t feel much joy when I see your sad face. Your heart has been broken, I can see from up here as you struggle along and you wipe every tear. If I only had words I could send you today that would tell you I’m home and I’m really okay. Heaven is beautiful with sparkles and white wings, and the angels are teaching me so many things. I’ll grow and mature in this Heavenly land while holding on tightly to my Father’s soft hand. Then one day you’ll join me in this home in the skies. Our joy will be full with no more goodbye’s. So don’t grieve for me now but find peace in your soul, and know God has finally made your little one whole. Now, even if you can’t seem to understand why, please know in your heart that our love did not die. He tells me that just for a time we must wait and then I can meet you at Heaven’s front gate! |

Author's Note: This poem has been
circulating the Internet and numerous
blogs as "Caylee's Poem" as a tribute
to Caylee Marie Anthony. It was
reportedly also read at her Memorial
Service.
Please know that this poem was not
originally written specifically for Caylee.
Actually, it was written in 2001 as a
tribute to a little child who died
unexpectedly at the age of two in
England. This poem was also
published in my book, "The Rainbow,
Words of Inspiration, Faith and Hope".
This poem has been used in many
memorials and Internet "tributes", and
was read during the memorial service
for Nevaeh Gallegos, another child who
met a tragic death in Denver, Colorado
in 2007.
To those who grieve for little Caylee
and for little Nevaeh, and many, many
others, our hearts go out to you and I
hope this poem brings you great
comfort and Peace. I hope it brings
peace to anyone who has lost a child.
Our prayer is that you find even more
words of comfort and encouragement
as you read even more of the poems
and stories at our website to help you
find Peace in your grief.
Special thanks to Crystal Begin of Vivid
Crystal Wood Signs for the absolutely
beautiful memorial plaque she created
using her artistic talents along with this
poem in memory of Caylee Marie
Anthony. See below for a photo of this
plaque, or check out her video on
YouTube to see the step by step
creation of this touching memorial.
For more poems on the loss of a
child, I also recommend
"Your Little Angel",
"Nine Pounds of Heaven",
and "Mother's and Father's Day".
