Beautiful boy, not yet one
Your mommy’s joy
Your daddy’s pride
Their only son
Your smile so wide
Heart so big
Everyone loved you
In our hearts you reside
So full of life
Your mom laid you down
When she checked on you
her heart cut like a knife
Your beautiful smile
No longer there
So still so quiet
A parents worst trial
Family and friends gather
Around your parents
Your beautiful sister
who wonder if it all matters
tears flow
hugs abound
trying to make sense of
lost dreams of watching you grow
We gather together to pray
For continued faith
For comfort
Most of all for memories to not stray
Heal our hearts o lord
Hear our cry
Bring us wisdom
To serve those who have much grief stored.
Matthew 18:2-4
2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you(A) turn and(B) become like children, you(C) will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4(D) Whoever humbles himself like this child is the(E) greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Recently someone close to me lost their sweet little boy. In his honor I wrote the above. They are very private so I will honor them with their privacy. Please honor them and their boy with your prayers.
needless to say I don’t believe i will be able to read my favorite childrens book for quite a while .. the littlest angel
I feel that God was preparing my heart by having me write this article about helping your grieving friend and reading this series by Molly Piper regarding her loss of a child. Maybe they can help you too.
Hello to my friends old and new. I look forward to sharing with you my journey of being a Christian, wife, and mum in this blog. Some times you may cry with me. I hope sometimes you will be encouraged by me. Every once in a while you may even laugh with me! ;) Come join me in this great race!
Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
