I wrote this for my Aunt in 1994 when her son died at the young age of 9. --------------------------------------------------- On The Loss of a Child Ignornance and innocence in measures meek and mild there truely is no gift so precious as a child Eagerness and sunshine in every little face A beauty and a tenderness the glow of perfect grace But sometimes life is hard and even angels die Through a veil of tears We beg to know why But even in adversity love will have its way God will not abandon or give a soul away We cry out in sorrow in emptiness and pain But we must remember our loss is heavens gain [This message has been edited by msrascalx (10-05-2004 09:06 PM).] |

My daughter is 9. I cannot imagine. You gifted your words with such grace - lovely Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Its so hard to imagine how the heart must feel after losing a child...My daughter is 6 and I wonder sometimes just how I would cope if anything ever happened to her... heartfelt write ms rascal...  hugs, g "Now would you mind if I bared my soul / If I came right out and said you're beautiful..."

This is wonderful, Vickie. I look at our six little ones and I couldn't imagine a life without them. You made a sad subject beautiful and I'm sure this poem touches anyone who has been through the pain of losing a loved one, especially a child. - Jeff |

so sad...and yet there is hope. I can;t imagine what that must have felt like. My heart goes out to the other people here who have as well experienced this. |

Susan, Enchantress, dgvarner, passing shadows, MGROVES, Copperbell, Thank you all for your kind words and for reading this. It was a difficult time but we made it through with a lot of love. Martie, I am sorry for your loss, and if this poem helped in any way, it was my pleasure. And thank you for reading it. Rascalx, I too think of our children, and there is no way that I could grasp the idea of lossing one of them. Thank you. [This message has been edited by msrascalx (10-08-2004 08:23 PM).] |
