Sitting in a dim lit room,
Clutching a small book,
I get up and close my eyes,
Not strong enough to look.

I place the book beside you,
And barely brush your hand,
I want to let you go,
But I don’t think I can.

I drop down on my knees,
Press my cheek against the wood,
"Get up my child," says the Lord,
"Father if I could!"

My voice rings out
Small and weak,
A small tear rolls
Down one cheek.

"Child, be strong," says the Lord
"He is well with me,
And when you come into this life,
Trust me you will see."

Loss is sorrowful and this weeps -- yet it speaks of hope-  well expressed.

  Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
