OUR HEAVENLY BABY The day you were born with so much charm Then they put you in my arms For you were like a rose that was given to me So sweet and pure as a honey bee. 1 took you from God's hands for so short a time It pricked my heart for I thought you were mine. But on your birthday I see your face It appears each year, from heaven's embrace For you are like a rose petal, that falls each year Our hearts are broken becuase you're not here. So God, you have your rose again For he was too sweet and faithful to live Like a flower that tried to grow But couldn't make it through the winter snow. There are mountains and meadows parting us now But your memories are here to stay a long while. For I can see your smiling face Through the mist around our place He was a sweet baby of ours But dear God you have called him home Take care of him until we meet on roads end. There isn't much more one can say Only we will keep missing our baby more every day But we know he is home to stay. TODAY I lave you looked out over the earth - the things 1 le has done. Softly as the winds move the trees and paper along its way, but yet, not seeing the wind. Have you seen spring time again and again come along, the butterflies, but-terflies, the birds, yet you cannot see or hear the opening of a flower or hear the sound of the grass and shrubs that grow. As the white clouds rise to the mountain tops and you can see them as they hurry by, after (he rain, the rainbow appears, proud and colorful for all to see in the sky. As the changes are made, Autumn leaves begin to fall as sleep comes tons all, as nature's quietness over the earth. Then bright stars, the moon shines so bright, then comes the daylight and now the message conies through: Be still my love, I know now I have just seen God. The plan of life just came through, have you seen God today ? Stop-think and then it is time to pray. Live only one day at a time lor the next will be mine, this is God's plan. May God be with us ajl, we will see you again my love, come tall. |
