All My Children Are In Heaven

Often I am asked
if I have children;
this question
makes me sad, though
I do answer
that I do:
they're all in Heaven.

They died before being born
so the Father holds them
safely in His hands
where no harm can come to them.

Mother's Day is the toughest
day of the year for me;
I want to be with them,
but I don't yet want to die!
