For those of you who may be in a more sensitive mood, this may not be a good read.
Goodbye for Now
Sweetest of children, I hear your voice
The voice of a precious one dying
Lovely child, rest your sweet head
The sun shines beyond your crying
Harsh winds have borne your spirit here
Yet angels guide your days
Gentle breath of Heaven’s scent
Awaits your ill, tired gaze
Lift your eyes, my precious one, and see
Heaven’s gates are drawing you nigh
Sleep well my treasure I will be with you soon
Let me kiss your warm forehead goodbye
Take me with you in your heart to stay
My love will go with you to Above
Believe in God’s goodness, calling your name
To Heaven bejeweled with God’s love
Be blessed my child, hear His sweet voice
His angels will show you His way
Go to His arms which reach for your own
Be blessed my sweet child, I pray
Let me hold your hand as you take your leave
We'll be together sooner than you know
My heart will always wait to reunite
Give me a kiss goodbye now.... now go....
I love you....

Wow...that's pretty heavy for first thing in the morning but it's very beautiful too. I really hope that this one isn't written from your own personal experience. Losing a child has got to be the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. Having faith that they go to walk with the Lord is the only way one could find any kind of solace.
ReplyDeleteI cannot bare the thought of losing a child. It must be every parent's worst fear.
ReplyDeleteI had watched Jane Eyre the other night and when the young girl dies, I was just so moved that I wrote this.
I pray that no one is in this position ever to lose like this though. You are right, it is only by God's strength that anyone would make it through such a horrible experience.
My daughter died from breast cancer not too long ago. She has closed her eyes but now, she is able to see.
ReplyDeleteOh my Gosh I am so sorry to hear this Bernard!!! I pray peace and much love in your life. I know that you know just how well she is now and how she is smiling at you and doing the Father's work now.
