Poem
There's a brand new angel in heaven today, A little one with shining eyes and sweetest baby smile. Tonight the folks who loved him come together to pray And share their precious memories -- just for a while...... The Bible says that we should in everything give thanks, But how do we thank God for the loss of such a boy? Through sharing grief and pain, our family has closed its ranks, Now we must concentrate on just how Conner brought us joy. Not that he's gone, but that he WAS, that's where the blessing lies.... That we were given such a gift -- although it couldn't last, Not that we've lost a Treasure, but that we held a Prize, And that we all hold Conner close in memories of our past. When we share grief and pain, the suffering is cut in half. When we share joy and pleasure it is truly multiplied. Now picture Conner with the Lord -- I think I hear him laugh!! And let us dry each other's eyes from all the tears we've cried. No speculation now for what our Conner might have been, For what he might have majored in -- which school he'd have attended, But realize that he's been spared temptations and some sin, And to be in his glorious state, this earth-life must be ended. I do believe that Conner, if he had the choice to make, Would choose the joys of heaven (for we know that's where he's gone). And he will watch and wait for us, however long we take To reach our home eternal when our time on earth is done.
