Melody's Song

You came suddenly & then were gone.

As in my dream, you were just "there".

Though I was there for you, you couldn't hold on...

And now in grief, I breathe despair.

You are but just a brief memory

Of a tiny brown-haired little girl;

So frail, yet like a sweet melody,

Your song will play in another World.

You're not a dream - you're very real.

I saw you briefly before you were gone.

From my body, death did steal

My precious, tiny, little one.

I thought my grief would claw my soul

And rip my heart from within my chest;

Yet God's loving mercy has made me whole...

Through another precious child, I'm blessed.

I cherish my children as gifts from the Lord...

His abundant kindness is exceedingly great --

Yet I will remember forever, the child I briefly adored,

And our reunion will be well worth the wait!

Love always, your mother
