Babies born in heaven poem (kids in siggy)

Verse... "Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire. Where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary with my crying: my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for my God." Psalm 69:1-3

Thought for today... Just because God works incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesnt mean He orchestrated the tragedy. Dont ever assume that God using something means that He caused it or that He needed it to accomplish his purposes. (Wm Paul Young)

Poem...

Babes Born in Heaven

I slept securely in the shelter of the womb,

Perfectly protected in my very special room.

Only Jesus knew me, I was yet unborn.

That sorrowful day, your heart was torn.

You were left with only baby things,

I was carried away on angel's wings.

Taken to a far better place,

Secure in the comfort of Jesus' embrace.

babes born in heaven are bountifully blest,

for they've only ever known the best.

Their lullabies sweet angels sing,

In the palace nurrsery of the King.

Here you grow up, but you never grow old,

It's warm and comfy, but never cold.

Heaven's play grounds are always safe,

for even the tiniest waif.

I laugh and I sing and have playmates too,

AND JESUS TELLS ME ALL ABOUT YOU.

I've met Great Grandma and Grandpa too,

we're all waiting to welcome you.

Jesus will wipe away every tear,

The purpose for everything will be clear.

There'll be no more death, sadness or pain,

Only joy, contentment and peace here reign.

Though, for a moment, life seems unfair,

Eternity will be proof of his care.

What you've given up, for which you grieve,

Can't compare to that which you'll recieve.

Your child born and raised in Heaven,

One day, by the Father you'll be given.

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is! - Neugeboren 1976, 154

Parental grief is boundless. It touches every aspect of parent's being...When a baby dies, parents grieve for the rest of their lives. Their grief becomes part of them...As time passes, parents come to appreciate that grief is [their] link to the child, [their] grief keeps [them] connected to the child. - ARNOLD AND GEMMA, IN CORR ET AL. 1996, 50-51
