Grief

This poem is for you parents who are grieving over the loss of your baby. Take heart, they are in the loving hands of our Savior...

Heaven’s Children

I cannot imagine Heaven’s realm
Without children to laugh and play,
Without their smiles and excitement…
To give such joy throughout the day.

I cannot imagine Heaven’s realm
Without babies to hug and to hold,
To smell and touch and gently rock..
To give such joy that goes untold.

I cannot imagine Heaven’s realm
Without these little ones so fair,
Without them to care for every day…
Without their sweet presence there.

I cannot imagine Heaven’s realm
Without playing in eternal Light,
Without chasing butterflies and such…
Without the babies to snuggle tight.

While we on earth may miss them now
We know they are giving joy above,
They provide an element to Heaven’s realm…
That of the sweetness in children’s love.

Babies require constant watch and care
And God just may assign to them
A special angel to sit and rock…
To sing and hold these in Heaven’s Den.

So take heart if you have lost a child
To earthly realms we now know,
For God has a plan for your little one…
A plan in Heaven where they will go.

They won’t be left to wander alone
Or be left to sit unloved,
For God in His fullness is powerful…
But He’s also a God of love!

“Let the children come to Me.”
Is what He said here on earth,
The Savior loves these little ones…
Ones He knew before their birth.

He’s loving them with perfect love
A love that will never fail,
They will never go a day untouched…
We can’t fathom what that entails.

With heavenly hosts to watch over them
And choirs of angels in constant praise,
Beautiful streets of gold to roam…
There’s peace and joy for all their days.

Rest assured for God is in charge
Of the tiny soul that left this earth!
He will have a reason for this life,
A higher calling for this precious birth.
