Joyful Laughter and Soulful Weeping

JOYFUL LAUGHTER AND SOULFUL WEEPING I hear the joyful laughter of two beautiful children As they romp and play out in the yard I hear delightful squeals of 'you can't catch me' Even though they try real hard I hear them softly whisper I love it here with PePa He's so much fun to be around I wish we didn't have to go back home If only we could hide and not be found Until it's time for us to go to bed Have him say our prayers and tuck us in We could sleep and dream sweet dreams I really would like to stay with him I hear the sound of my heart beating Deep within me, filled with pain As I sit here soulfully weeping Knowing I'll never see them again Never to hug them and hold them near I've been forbidden and know not why So I hear the sound of my own weeping As I face each day and cry But one day I'll cease my weeping Not another tear will stain my face I'll be reunited with them in Heaven To share eternity in that wonderful place 20 October 2017

Thank you so much, Jo for sharing. It is difficult to bear, but I know who will see me through. It is Christ whom I rely on to heal all hurt and dry all tears. His grace is sufficient.
