Notes About The Poem

I was rejected in my mother's womb because of a breakup from her
first marriage.  At that point, the Lord told me that HE took me up.

Baby Spirits From God

Baby Spirits From God

Each of us began our journey from Heaven’s shores
to this earth of our below,
begging the Father God to let us to be born
until the day was at hand the, He said, yes it is time for you to go.

Just imagine those wee ones
dancing around our Father’s throne,
how He delights in everyone of them
because after all, they are His very own.

Remember then, the responsibility that
we earthly parents must face,
knowing these babies belonged to Father God
is a fact we cannot erase.

Oh yes, we have them to raise for a short while
but they never really did belong to us,
for they are not a possession like our furniture or car
but a human baby spirit over which we delight to fuss.

And now, we need to look at how we raise this child
who actually belongs to the Lord,
for raising them in the admonition of the Lord does not mean
we give them all that our earthly money affords.

We must teach them God’s ways and make sure
they have learned to fear our awesome God,
and then at the end of this baby spirit’s life on earth
they will again be able to dwell on Heaven’s sod.
