08/24/2004: "God's Grace"
A sleeping child so tenderly cared,
Not for what is seen, only for what is there.
The child ascended to the heavens above,
He made his mark in life, his goal was done.
He left footprints in the heart of a family,
He showed them what it meant to really love.
He was created by the trust two people shared,
And by that his journey was begun.
Upon his arrival to this earth,
He looked up at his mother with eyes so dear,
As if he was telling her
Just exactly why he was here
She held him close to her breast
An extension of her heart
She already loved her son
Never wanting to be apart
His father laid him down gently
And tucked him in tight
With that, the father said
‘I love you my son, goodnight.’
The father watched his child
As he fell asleep
The only thing the father could do
Was wonder how he could feel this love so deep
‘It is my child’, he said
‘God hath given me release’
He continued to watch
The innocent child sleeping in peace
As the child grew in size,
He grew in the hearts of his parents.
They cared and loved his greatly
His time of earth was near an end.
A year and a fortnight
After the first coming of this child
It was time to go to his true home
To be with God’s angels white.
An angel came to the child’s crib
Took the child in a glow of white light
‘You’re going home, to your heavenly Father’
And from then on, the child knew of no night.
A child so sleeping tenderly cared
Laid the footprints of love
This could not be done
Except when arranged by our Lord above
