A Letter From Timmy

Hello mommie, just wanted to drop you a line,
And let you know that I’m doing real fine.
Mommie if I’d still been with you I would have been ten today,
But I understand sometimes things happen, and that’s okay.

There are really a lot of us like me here and Jesus says we are special to Him,
Did you know my name was suppose to be Tim?
Mommie, do you ever miss me?
I sure miss you and hope that someday each other we will both get to see.

Mommie, do I have any brothers or sisters, gosh I sure hope so.
Did you ever tell them about me, I sure hope they know?
Mommie, Jesus says you cry a lot because of what you did and you always seem so blue,
But He says you were real young and scared and didn’t know what else to do.

Mommie, He says I need to forgive you but I already had,
He just smiled and rubbed my head and said I know Timmy and I am very glad.
Mommie I don’t think I’ll send you this letter I’ll just put it with the rest that I wrote,
But mommie I do love you and with that I will close this note.

                                    Love Your Son, Timmy

Diane Christian Date: 8/27/2009 10:47:00 AM a great poem, it's full of devotion so many loose children young my mum and some of my sisters lost babies , thanks for your kind comments on big boys don't cry, it's sad that some boys get hit for crying or showing emotion, I think most of our dads or grand dads were taught that it's wrong for men to cry, I tell my boys not to be ashamed to cry, it's not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength for when we are weak then we are strong in the Lord, God bless you Ron from diane, Login to Reply
