- God Has Taken Everything -

My daughter`s budgie "Sissie" died a late night
                       The next morning I told her that "Sissie" was dead
                     With tears on her eyes and cheeks, she asked her mom
                      - Is "Sissie" in heaven with God and grandmother ?
                       - Yes, she is with God, grandmother and the angels
                                                I answer her

                         Surprised at this answer, my daughter investigate
                                            whether it was true
                             She walks into the room where the cage with
                                         the budgie used to stand
                             After a short while, she runs back to mom....
                        - Mom, mom.... God has not only taken "Sissie"
                                       - God has taken the cage too




                                   

                              This is a true story  -  - - from gold child`s mouth

When i was reading this ,i got thinking of my nine year old canary,who is so sick,he even lost one eye now,but every morning i call out his name and nearly blinded he comes close to the gage door and peep at me..waiting for his daily lettuce. I know his time will come soon.. So tell your daughter,that her budgie isn't going to be alone :).Re the last part of the poem,that is what makes children so special,their sweet innocence:)... One for my favs... Charma

Out of the mouths of babes comes golden truth. When my grandson was age 5 and just started church school, he said that heaven was where Jesus and His disables lived!
